A thin computer chip is exposed to a dielectric liquid with ho = 1000 W/m2 K and T0 = 20◦ C on one side and is joined to a conductive circuit board on the other. The thermal contact resistance between the chip and the board is 10−4 m2 K/W, and the board thickness and thermal conductivity are Lb = 5 mm and kb = 1 W/m K respectively

The structure of a smart grid with four micro- grids For the economic return on the investment of an individual MG, a performance metric foreach MG is proposed. An overall performance index of each MG can be calculated as: 4 Q = w1 F + w2 E + w3 S (1) F is a cost index of electricity, E is an environmental effect index due to atmosphericemissions, and S is a satisfaction index of the power

sttatic equilibrrium?Experimental ProcedureStep 1: Experimentally measure the volumetric flow rate, the nozzle exit area, and the forceexerted by the water on the hose and nozzle.(a) Using a large bucket and a stopwatch, determine the volume of water that leaves the nozzle over a period of time (use ~ 10-20 seconds). Use the volume demarcations on the bucket to determine the volume of water collected and the stopwatch to determine the collection time. In order to reduce the uncertainty of these measurements, repeat the measurement 5 times recording the volume of water and the time for each measurement and calculating the volumetric flow rate (Q). Measurement #1 Volume (L) = _________ Time (s) = _________ Q (L/s

This simplified the task significantly at the expense of having to deal with anunfamiliar unit: mho. This change was a net improvement, and we plan to continue using it.Below are some student questions and the instructor’s answers, which were posted while thereports were being written.

or science teaching experience. We examinedwhether there were differences based on teaching experience by performing one-wayANOVA. Levene’s test was performed to ensure homogeneity of variance, and q-q plot wereexamined to ensure normality. We also computed effect size w2 for significant factors. IfANOVA showed significant differences, we performed Tukey’s HSD post-hoc test tocompare between groups. We did not explore differences between groups of different gendersor grade levels because the sample was rather homogeneous in terms of these attributes.FindingsResults of the entire surveyOverall, the summer academy participants thought DET was important (M=3.47, SD=0.35)(please note that 4 was the highest possible score, and 1 was the lowest

. Suppose we write Q ? hAΦT .We plan to exchange heat between the exhaust manifold and the ambient air, and weassume T∞ =100 ″F. Ducting will carry the air from the front of the vehicle to theexchanger. We estimate the available heat transfer surface area at about 1 ft2 (is this Page 15.1018.15reasonable?). We select an arbitrary value for the heat transfer coefficient, say 100Btu/(hr ft2 °F); although this is too large to be realistic, we find Q=(100)(1)(900)=90,000 Btu/hr.This rate of heat transfer corresponds to about 35 hp or 26 kW. If this were realizablewe would not need much of an IC engine at all! However, it is likely

The students assembled critical functionprototypes of their fourbar designs as part of a lab exercise, and then manufactured fourbars on awaterjet cutter for their competition robots. Lastly, two of 28 Excel® problems were related tofourbars: one in which the students analyzed S + L ? P + Q to determine the Grashof condition,and one that applied Excel®’s Solver function to solve for the output angle if the input angle andlink lengths are known.In the old ME 1000, students saw fourbars in one lecture (including synthesis examples), wererequired to use fourbars in the design
