The roof of a house consists of a 22 cm thick concrete slab (k = 0.72 W/m·?K) that is 15 m wide and 20 m long. The emissivity of the outer surface of the roof is 0.9 and the convection heat transfer coefficient on that surface is 15 W/m2·?K. The inner surface of the roof is maintained at 15°C. On a clear winter night, the ambient air is 10°C while the night sky temperature for radiation heat transfer is 255 K.
a) Considering both radiation and convection heat transfer, determine the outer surface temperature and the rate of heat transfer though the roof.
b) If the house is heated by a furnace with an efficiency of 85% and the unity cost of fuel is $1.20/therm (1 therm = 105,500 kJ of energy content), determine the money lost through the roof that night during a 14 hour period.
c) The roof is now insulated with a spray on urethane foam that reduces the effective thermal conductivity of the roof to k = 0.15 W/m·?K. What is the money lost through the roof during the 14-hour period now?
An observer has determined that the time headways between successive vehicles on a section of highway are exponentially distributed and that 60% of the headways between vehicles are 15 seconds or greater.
Consider some hypothetical X+ - Y - ion pair for which the equilibrium interionic spacing and bonding energy values are 0.38 nm and - 6.38 eV respectively. If it is known that n in the equation has a value of 10, determine the expressions for attract..

Knowing that the tension in cable AD is 405, determine (a) the angle between cable AD and the boom AB, (b) the projection on AB of the force exerted by cable AD at point A.
Our laboratory plans to use one, 10-liter tank of refrigerant 134a every week. So off you go to check the cost of fill-ups at the two possible suppliers. At Chem Mart, the filled tank is returned to you at 10 bar and 90 C for $10.00.
A certain gas weighs 16.0 N/m3 at a certain temperature and pressure. What are the values of its density, specific volume, and specific gravity relative to air weighing 12.0 N/m3 ?
the flow profile is such that u=u(max)*(1-(r/R)^2) where u is the flow speed and r is the distance from the centre of the pipe in the radial direction. What is the shear stress on the pipe wall What is the shear force exerted by the oil on a 1m lo..
In determining the difference between points A and B, the inclined distance was measured to be 157.65 ft. The transit was set u on point A. The height of its transverse axis was 5.2 ft about point A.
