Is Newton's Law of Cooling Applicable to Forced Convection Losses?

AI Thread Summary
Newton's Law of Cooling can be applied to both natural and forced convection losses, as it describes the rate of heat transfer between an object and its environment. An example of forced convection loss is the cooling of a heated surface by air blown over it by a fan. The law states that the rate of heat loss is proportional to the temperature difference between the object and the surrounding fluid. In forced convection, this temperature difference can be influenced by the speed of the fluid flow. Understanding these principles is essential for accurately predicting heat transfer in various engineering applications.

Sir,
Can you state an example for forced convection loss? Is Newton’s law of cooling also applicable to forced convection losses apart from natural convection losses?

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
