Show that the effective conductance. A1 F 1-2 for two black parallel plates of equal area connected by re-radiating walls at a constant temperature is



GIVEN

• Two black parallel planes of equal area connected by re-radiating walls at a constant temperature

FIND

• Show that



SKETCH




Since A1 and A2 cannot see themselves, F1–1 = F2–2 = 0.

The shape factors from a single surface must sum to unity





Substituting this and A1 = A2 into the expression for A1 F12

Why do hot water heaters lose their efficiency quicker in households with hard water?

A) The hard water calcium and magnesium ions corrode the heating element. B) The hard water calcium carbonate deposits oxidize the inner tank wall. C) The calcium carbonate on the inner surface of the hot water tank builds up to the point that it insulates the water from the heating element. D) The hard water calcium ions exchange with iron ions from the inner metal wall which react with the water heater base to form rust and deteriorate the bottom of the tank.

Double-Slit Interference: Two radio antennas are 10 km apart on a north-south axis on high mountain tops at the seacoast. The antennas broadcast identical AM radio signals, in phase, at a frequency of 4.70 MHz. A steamship, 200 km offshore, travels toward the north at 15 km/h and passes east of the antennas. A radio on board the ship is tuned to the broadcast frequency. The reception of the radio signal on the ship is a maximum at a given instant. How much later until the next occurrence of maximum reception? (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s)

A. 5.1 min B. 3.8 min C. 6.4 min D. 7.7 min E. 8.9 min
