You are using a thin layer of epoxy to bond a Silicon chip to a pure aluminum plate that acts as a heat sink (epoxy layer 0.0200mm). The Silicon chip (k = 149.0 W/(m-K) is 0.200 mm thick, and has dimensions of 25.0mm by 25.0mm. The pure aluminum plate is 0.850cm thick, and has the same dimensions as the Silicon chip. The hot side of the silicon chip is measured to be 62.0°C; the cold side of the pure aluminum plate is measured to be 31.0°C. Assuming steady-state conduction (with the thin layer of epoxy acting as contact resistance, see Table 3.2.) determine the heat transfer rate through the chip. Do not add in an addition resistance due to the thickness of the epoxy layer, this has been incorporated into the contact resistance.
A concrete swimming pool 12 m x 6 m x 2.5 m is filled with water to within 6 mm of the top when the temperature is 10 oC. The coefficient of linear expansion of the concrete is 0.90 x 10-5/oC. What will happen to the water level as the temperature rises? If it rises at what temperature will the water begin to overflow?
You visit your friend and find her in her kitchen with a
rubber ball and a bucket of ice water conducting an
experiment. When you ask her what she is doing this is
what she says:
"I wanted to know if how high a rubber ball
bounces is affected by its temperature so I'm
dropping the ball a few times, then cooling it
down with the ice water and dropping it again."
Which of the following best describes the kind of
experiment your friend is conducting and why?
● It is an observational experiment because it is
entirely qualitative (no measurements are being
taken).
It is an observational experiment because your
friend is trying to learn more about a
phenomenon.
It is a testing experiment because your friend is
actively participating in the experiment.
It is a testing experiment because your friend is
testing the relationship between between
temperature and bounce height.
