Okay..so I figured out all of the motion equations. I'm still stuck on the length of the belt however. I've tried numerous approaches.. I am not sure if I'm defining the length wrong, or just not thinking about it properly. Or maybe over thinking it. But just drawing a triangle from center of...
Homework Statement
Here is what the belt system looks like.
The first part of the problem is to prove that the length of the belt between pulleys is
assuming a negative radius for the backwrapped pulleys (idler and tensioner).
The second part is to derive the equations for...

The temperature response of a fin is to be approximated using the finite difference method. The fin is 3 cm long and has a square cross-section that is 5 mm on a side. The fin is aluminum, with thermal properties ρ=2700 kg/m3, k=200 W/(m-K), and c=900 J/(kg-K). The fin...
I have to figure out how to prove that the neutron flux for a point source is given by ø=\frac{S}{4πr^2}.
I can get this type of solution, but I have an e^(-r/L) in the numerator. I'm assuming I'm missing some theory somewhere as apparently this is the solution for a point source in an...
Okay, so I got a temperature distribution equation in respect to my left and right boundary conditions. I'm still not entirely sure what to do from here.
I know I can use this equation to get the temperature of any x, but how does that help me for convection or conduction? Do I just use...

A 1.0 cm diameter steel rod with k = 20W/(m-K) is 20 cm long. It has one end maintained at 35°C and the other at 100°C. It is exposed to convection heat transfer with h=65W/(m^2-K) and an ambient air stream at 20°C. a) Sketch the distribution of temp within the rod. b)...
