1D) (5 points) In a plane wall, there is internal heat generation  and the wall is thermally insulated on its left side. The right side of the wall is cooled by forced convection with a fluid temperature of 20 ℃ and a convection coefficient of 500 W/m2K. If wall’s thickness is 30 mm, what would be the wall’s temperature on its right surface (Ts)?

1B) (5 points) Consider a room whose air temperature is maintained at 23ºC, while the walls of the room are nominally at 25°C. The exposed surface of a person in the room may be assumed to be at a temperature of 32°C and to have an emissivity of 0.91. Stefan-Boltzmann constant is 5.67´10-8 W/m2K4. Calculate the following.  Heat flux due to radiation from a person to surrounding wall.

Problem 3. (40 points) An air-cooled heat sink with 9 plate fins is used to maintain a CPU at 80°C. There is contact resistance of  between the CPU and the base of the sink. Thermal conductivity of the heat sink is 160 W/(m×K). Geometric variables are as follow: fin thickness (tf) = 2 mm, fin length (Lf) = 12 mm, cross-sectional shape of CPU = 2 cm x 2 cm (square), heat sink’s base thickness (tb) = 3 mm. Air temperature is 25°C and convection coefficient is 50 W/(m2K). Ignore internal heat generation and radiation heat transfer. Assume that the fin tips are adiabatic. Draw a thermal resistance circuit that expresses the heat transfer from the CPU’s top surface to air. Below the circuit show the expressions for thermal resistances (e.g., expression for a radiation resistance is 1/hrA). Then, determine the 1) total resistance in K/W (or °C/W) 2) overall fin efficiency and 3) heat rate from CPU to air in W.

What will be the output of the following code snippet? If the program results in an error, put down ‘ERROR’.  x = 0for i in range(5):    while i > 0:        x += i        i -= 2print(x)

A mirror on a large industrial truck has a weight, X, with the following pdf:  f(x) = 0.125x  for 3 kg

The Collatz Conjecture (also known as the 3n + 1 conjecture) is a sequence defined as follows: Start with any positive integer nn. If n is even, divide it by 2. If nn is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1. Repeat the process indefinitely, and the conjecture states that you will eventually reach the number 1. Write a function called collatz_sequence(n) that takes a positive integer n as input and returns the Collatz sequence starting from nn until it reaches 1. The function should print the sequence as numbers separated by spaces. Example:n = 3:       3 10 5 16 8 4 2 1 ———————– 1.Print out 3 2. 3 is odd, so 3(3) + 1 = 10, print 10 3. 10 is even -> 10 / 2 = 5, print 5 4. 5 is odd -> 5(3) +1 = 16, print 16 5. 16 is even -> 16 / 2  = 8, print 8 … 8. 2 is even -> 2 / 1 = 1, print 1

Gallaghan Mattress in Batavia, NY makes box springs. Each spring either passes or fails inspection.  These box springs are independent and each has a probability of failing inspection equal to 0.078.  This copywritten question is part of a quiz or exam at Arizona State.  It may not be posted to Chegg.com or to any other website or reproduced without the permission of the author, Dr. L. Chattin, and Arizona State University.  Forty-five of these box springs are tested.  What is the probability that more than three of the springs fail inspection? Express your answer to two decimal places using conventional rounding methods.
