State how heat loss by radiation is minimized in a thermos flask

1 answer:

7 0

Thermos bottles are equipped with the parts that can prevent the hot water from cooling down by the three ways: Supporting the inner container by a few heat-insulating supporters to minimize the heat loss through heat conduction, using a vacuum space between the outer and the inner vessels to eliminate the heat loss by the air convection, and giving a high reflectivity to the inner surface of the outer vessel and the whole surface of the inner container to reduce the heat loss due to the radiation cooling.

A rod has a radius of 10 mm is subjected to an axial load of 15 N such that the axial strain in the rod is ????௫ = 2.75*10-6, de

Answer:

Knowing we only have one load applied in just one direction we have to use the Hooke's law for one dimension

ex = бx/E

бx = Fx/A = Fx/π $r^{2}$

Using both equation and solving for the modulus of elasticity E

E = бx/ex = Fx / π $r^{2}$ ex

E = $\frac{15}{pi (10 * 10^{-3})^{2} * 2.75 * 10^{-6} } = 17.368 * 10^{9} Pa = 17.4 GPa$

Apply the Hooke's law for either y or z direction (circle will change in every direction) we can find the change in radius

ey = $\frac{1}{E}$ (бy - v (бx + бz)) = $-\frac{v}{E}$ бx

= $\frac{vFx}{Epir^{2} }$ = $\frac{0.23 * 15}{pi (10 * 10^{-3)^{2} } * 17.362 * 10^{9} } = -0.63 *10^{-6}$

Finally

ey = Δr / r

Δr = ey * r = 10 * $-0.63* 10^{-6} mm = -6.3 * 10^{-6} mm$

Δd = 2Δr = $-12.6 * 10^{-6} mm$

Which type of star is smaller neutron or dwarf

Ulleksa [173]

White dwarfs are formed from the collapse of low mass stars, less than about 10 time the mass of the Sun. This star loses most of its mass in a wind, leaving behind a core that is less than 1.44 solar mass. On the other hand,neutron stars are formed in the catastrophic collapse of the core of a massive star.
