You are given the following material properties for a stiff, particulate filler material (aggregate) and a lightweight (but not so stiff) matrix (binder). E_agg= 30GPa, E_matrix =1.55 GPa, p_agg= 2400 kg/m3, P_matrix=1050 kg/m3
For your particular application, it is important to have a stiff material but also one that is lightweight. In fact, the optimum stiffness to unit weight ratio is 11.1 MPa/kg/m^3. Determine the optimum volume fractions (0 to 1) for the matrix and the particulate if the composite stiffness behaves according to the following models:
a) series
b) parallel
c) Hirsch with x = 0.2, x = 0.4, x = 0.8

1in2 processor chip can be modelled as an isothermal plane wall of silicon, isothermal on both sides. the power input to the bottom of the plane wall, or the processing power of the chip, often called the thermal design power (tdp), is 100w. assume the periphery is adiabatic. the silicon is 400 microns thick. the temperature at the junction, or in this case on the bottom of the isothermal plane wall, is 85°c. what is the top surface temperature, assuming that the only mode of heat transfer is conduction

An air-conditioning system consists of a heating section and an evaporative cooler. air enters the heating section at 10°c and 70 percent relative humidity at a rate of 30m^3/min, and it leaves the evaporative cooler at 20°c and 60 percent relatively humidity. if the air conditioning system operates at a total pressure of 98 kpa, determine (a) the temperature and relative humidity of the air when it leaves the heating section, (b) the rate of heat transfer in the heating section, and (c) the rate of water added to air in the evaporative cooler
