Concept explainers
An unmanned submarine is equipped with temperature and depth measuring instruments and has radio equipment that can transmit the output readings of these instruments back to the surface. The submarine is initially floating on the surface of the sea with the instrument output readings in steady state. The depth measuring instrument is approximately zero order and the temperature transducer first order with a time constant of 50 seconds. The water temperature on the sea surface, , is 20 °C and the temperature at a depth of x meters is given by the relation:
If the submarine starts diving at time zero, and thereafter goes down at a velocity of 0.5 meters / second, draw a table showing the temperature and depth measurements reported at intervals of 100 seconds over the first 500 seconds of travel. Show also in the table the error in each temperature reading.
What temperature does the submarine report at a depth of 1000 meters?

- For a slab with thickness 2 cm, the temperature is maintained at To and I at x = 0 and x = L. When I, -40 °C and I₁ = 60 °C, a heat flux sensor measures the magnitude of the heat flux as 40 W/m². Assume that the thermal conductivity k is a linear function of temperature. a) If, when T₁ -40 °C and T₁ = 80 °C, the same heat flux sensor measures the magnitude of the heat flux as 80 W/m², what is the temperature dependence of k? b) If, when To=40 °C and T₁ = 80 °C, the same heat flux sensor measures the magnitude of the heat flux as 100 W/m², what is the temperature dependence of k? c) If, when T₁ -40 °C and T₁ = 80 °C, the same heat flux sensor measures the magnitude of the heat flux as 60 W/m², what is the temperature dependence of k?arrow_forwardPlease answer question with as much detail as possible Please Use the “NCEES FE Reference Handbook 10.0.1” which can be downloaded for Free from https://ncees.org/ as your Reference for tables and formulasarrow_forwardYou have a 1-D steady-state conduction problem, constant thermal properties, with energy generation q_dot.

Because of the increased complexity in system reliability structure (component/subsystem interfaces), many unexpected failure modes could occur, and their behaviors are interdependent. At a system’s design and development stage, the main challenge in analyzing a complex system is the failure uncertainty introduced by the incomplete knowledge of the system. This makes it hard to decompose system reliability into subsystem/component reliability in a deterministic manner, such as series or parallel systems. As a result, some common reliability analysis tools such as fault tree (FT) and reliability block diagram (RBD) become inadequate. Do you agree, why or why not? Are there any other approaches to system reliability assessment beside these tools at the early system’s design and development stage (what are these approaches)?arrow_forward
