Rotational Kinetic Energy: A futuristic design for a car is to have a large flywheel within the car to store kinetic energy. The flywheel is a solid uniform disk of mass 370 kg with a radius of 0.50 m, and it can rotate up to 200 rev/s. Assuming all of this stored kinetic energy could be transferred to the linear speed of the 1500-kg car, find the maximum attainable speed of the car.

Heat is transferred at a rate of 0.1 kW through glass wool insulation (density = 100 kg/m3 ) with a 5 cm thickness and 2 m2 area. If the hot surface is at 70°C, determine the temperature of the cooler surface.

GIVEN
• Glass wool insulation with a density (?) = 100 kg/m3
• Thickness (L) = 5 cm = 0.05 m
• Area (A) = 2 m2
• Temperature of the hot surface (Th) = 70°C
• Rate of heat transfer (qk) = 0.1 kW = 100 W
FIND
• The temperature of the cooler surface (Tc)
ASSUMPTIONS
• One dimensional, steady state conduction
• Constant thermal conductivity
SKETCH
