Two aisi 304 stainless steel plates 10 mm thick are subjected to a contact pressure of 1 bar under vacuum conditions for which there is an overall temperature drop of 110°c across the plates. (a) what is the heat flux through the plates? (b) what is the temperature drop across the contact plane? use r"t, c=15 x 10-4 m2·k/w and evaluate the properties of stainless steel at 400 k.

Two loudspeakers, 5.5 m apart and facing each other, play identical sounds of the same frequency. you stand halfway between them, where there is a maximum of sound intensity. moving from this point toward one of the speakers, you encounter a minimum of sound intensity when you have moved 0.33 m . assume the speed of sound is 340 m/s. part a) what is the frequency of the sound? part b) if the frequency is then increased while you remain 0.21 m from the center, what is the first frequency for which that location will be a maximum of sound intensity? express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
