Consider a 6-in * 8-in epoxy glass laminate (k = 0.10 Btu/h·ft·°F) whose thickness is 0.05 in. In order to reduce the thermal resistance across its thickness, cylindrical copper fillings (k = 223 Btu/h·ft·°F) of 0.02 in diameter are to be planted throughout the board, with a center-to-center distance of 0.06 in. Determine the new value of the thermal resistance of the epoxy board for heat conduction across its thickness as a result of this modification.

Ice has formed on a shallow pond, and a steady state has been reached, with the air above the ice at -5.0 °C and the bottom of the pond at 4.0 °C. If the total depth of ice+water is 1.4 m, how thick is the ice? (Assume that the thermal conductivities of ice and water are 0.40 and 0.12 cal/m-°C-s, respectively.)

A practical way of absorbing the heat of hydration is to use refrigerated water when kneading the dough. If a recipe calls for mixing 2 kg of flour with 1 kg of water, and the temperature of the city water is 15°C, determine the temperature to which the city water must be cooled before mixing in order for the water to absorb the entire heat of hydration when the water temperature rises to 15°C. Take the specific heats of the flour and the water to be 1.76 and 4.18 kJ/kg·°C, respectively.arrow_forward

Give a reason for the protection.arrow_forwardA tank of water has been outdoors in cold weather, and a slab of ice 6.7 cm thick has formed on its surface (see the figure).

Take the thermal conductivity of ice to be 0.0040 cal/s-cm-C°, its density to be 0.92 g/cm°, and its latent heat of fusion to be 333 kJ/kg. Assume no energy transfer through the tank walls or bottom.

- When watching a circus during the day in a large, dark-colored tent, you sense significant heat transfer from the tent. Explain why this occurs.arrow_forwardSea breezes occur along coastlines, and consist of cool air moving toward the shore from the ocean. However, this only occurs during the day, and is a stronger effect when the air temperature on the land is greatest and the air temperature above the water is coldest. At night, the breezes are reversed, moving from the land toward the ocean. Taking into consideration the specific heat capacities of water and sand (which is about the same as that of concrete), explain how sea breezes form during the day and change direction at night.arrow_forwardA house walls that are 16 cm thick and have an average thermal conductivity two times that of cork.
