here are the solutions to question 1.
Q1. a) Determine the surface temperature of the chip, in ∘C.
Given:
• Chip dimensions: 5 mm on a side, 1 mm thickness.
• Electrical power input (Pin): 0.225 W.
• Coolant temperature (Tf): 20∘C.
• Heat transfer coefficient (h): 150W/m2K.
• Heat transfer formula: Q=−hA(Ts−Tf), where Ts is the surface temperature.
• At steady state, the electrical power input equals the heat transferred out (Q=Pin).
Step 1: Calculate the surface area (A) of the chip exposed to the coolant.
The problem states "the top surface of the chip is exposed to a coolant". The chip measures 5 mm on a side.
A=(5mm)×(5mm)=(0.005m)×(0.005m)=0.000025m2
Step 2: Set the heat transfer rate equal to the electrical power input.
At steady state, the heat generated by the electrical power input is transferred to the coolant.
Q=Pin=0.225 W
Step 3: Substitute the known values into the heat transfer formula and solve for Ts.
Q=−hA(Ts−Tf)
0.225W=−(150W/m2K)(0.000025m2)(Ts−20∘C)
0.225=−0.00375(Ts−20)
Divide both sides by −0.00375:
−0.003750.225=Ts−20
−60=Ts−20
Ts=−60+20
Ts=−40∘C
Q1. b) The rate of heat transfer between a certain electric motor and its surrounds varies with time as Q=−0.2(1−e−0.05t). Where t is in seconds and Q is in kW. The shaft of the motor rotates at a constant speed of 955 rev/min, and applies a constant torque of 18 Nm to an external load. The motor draws a constant electric power input equal to 20 kW. For the motor, plot Q and W, each in kW and the change in energy ΔE in kJ, as function of time from t=0 to t=120 s.
To "plot" these quantities, we will define their functions of time and calculate their values at the start (t=0 s) and end (t=120 s) of the given time interval.
Step 1: Define the heat transfer rate Q(t).
The heat transfer rate from the motor to its surroundings is given directly:
Q(t)=−0.2(1−e−0.05t) kW
At t=0 s:
Q(0)=−0.2(1−e0)=−0.2(1−1)=0 kW
At t=120 s:
Q(120)=−0.2(1−e−0.05×120)=−0.2(1−e−6)
Q(120)≈−0.2(1−0.00247875)≈−0.1995 kW
Step 2: Define the work done by the motor, W(t), in kW.
The work done by the motor refers to its power output.
First, convert the rotational speed to radians per second:
ω=955minrev×1rev2πrad×60s1min≈100.0 rad/s
The power output (W) is the product of torque (τ) and angular speed (ω):
W=τω=(18Nm)(100.0rad/s)=1800W=1.8 kW
The work done by the motor (power output) is constant:
W(t)=1.8 kW
Step 3: Define the change in energy ΔE(t) in kJ.
The First Law of Thermodynamics for the motor (as a system) states that the rate of change of its internal energy is the net power input minus the net power output:
dtdE=Pin−Pout−Q˙loss
Where:
• Pin=20 kW (electrical power input).
• Pout=W=1.8 kW (power output to the load).
• Q˙loss is the rate of heat transfer from the motor to the surroundings, which is −Q(t).
Q˙loss=−Q(t)=−(−0.2(1−e−0.05t))=0.2(1−e−0.05t) kW
Now, substitute these into the energy balance equation:
dtdE=20kW−1.8kW−0.2(1−e−0.05t) kW
dtdE=18.2−0.2+0.2e−0.05t
dtdE=(18.0+0.2e−0.05t) kW
To find the total change in energy ΔE(t), integrate dtdE from t=0 to t:
ΔE(t)=∫0t(18.0+0.2e−0.05t′)dt′
ΔE(t)=[18.0t′+−0.050.2e−0.05t′]0t
ΔE(t)=[18.0t′−4e−0.05t′]0t
ΔE(t)=(18.0t−4e−0.05t)−(18.0(0)−4e0)
ΔE(t)=18.0t−4e−0.05t−(−4)
ΔE(t)=(18.0t−4e−0.05t+4)kJ
At t=0 s:
ΔE(0)=18.0(0)−4e0+4=0−4+4=0 kJ
At t=120 s:
ΔE(120)=18.0(120)−4e−0.05×120+4=2160−4e−6+4
ΔE(120)≈2160−4(0.00247875)+4≈2160−0.009915+4≈2163.99 kJ
To plot these functions:
• Q(t): This is an exponential function starting at 0 kW and approaching −0.2 kW as t increases.
• W(t): This is a constant function at 1.8 kW for all t.
• ΔE(t): This is a linear function with an exponential correction, starting at 0 kJ and increasing over time.
You can use these formulas to calculate values at various time points between 0 s and 120 s and then plot them on a graph.
