The maximum flow rate of standard shower heads is about 3.5 gpm (13.3 L/min) and can be reduced to 2.75 gpm (10.5 L/min) by switching to low-flow shower heads that are equipped with flow controllers. Consider a family of four, with each person taking a 5-min shower every morning. City water at 15°C is heated to 55°C in an electric water heater and tempered to 42°C by cold water at the T-elbow of the shower before being routed to the shower heads. Assuming a constant specific heat of 4.18 kJ/kg·°C for water, determine (a) the ratio of the flow rates of the hot and cold water as they enter the T-elbow and (b) the amount of electricity that will be saved per year, in kWh, by replacing the standard shower heads by the low-flow ones.
A copper telephone wire has essentially no sag between poles 35.0 m apart on a winter day when the temperature is 220.0 degrees C. How much longer is the wire on a summer day when the temperature is 35.0 degrees C?
An electric immersion heater has a power rating of 1800 W. If the heater is placed in a 1.3 kg of water at 30 °C, how many minutes will it take to bring the water to a boiling temperature? (Assume that there is no heat loss except to the water itself. water=4186 J/kg.°C)
A copper telephone wire has essentially no sag between poles 34.0 m apart on a winter day when the temperature is −20.0°C. How much longer is the wire on a summer day when the temperature is 38.0°C?
Many hot water heating systems have a reservoir tank connected directly to the pipeline, to allow for expansion when the water becomes hot. The heating system of a house has 76 m of a copper pipe whose inside radius is 9.5 x 10^ -3 m. When the water and pipe are heated from 24 Celcius to 78 Celcius, what must be the minimum volume of the reservoir tank to hold the overflow of water?
A 8.2 kg block of copper is dropped at 80 ° C into a container with 0.62 L of water at 10 ° C. How much energy in the form of heat is absorbed by the water when the copper and water reach thermal equilibrium?
A 2.1-m-long, 0.2-cm-diameter electrical wire extends across a room that is maintained at 20°C. Heat is generated in the wire as a result of resistance heating, and the surface temperature of the wire is measured to be 180°C in steady operation. Also, the voltage drop and electric current through the wire are measured to be 110 V and 3 A, respectively. Disregarding any heat transfer by radiation, determine the convection heat transfer coefficient for heat transfer between the outer surface of the wire and the air in the room.
A 56 kW electric furnace measures 1.2m x 1.3m x 0.7m. When the temperature inside the furnace is 1613 ºC, a block of aluminum with a mass of 283 kg and a temperature of 18 ºC is placed inside. Assuming the heat loss from the furnace walls is 529 W/m, how long (in min) will it take to heat the block to the furnace temperature? (Specific heat of aluminum is 0.90 kJ/kg. K)
In a manufacturing facility, 5-cm-diameter brass balls (r = 8522 kg/m3 and cp = 0.385 kJ/kg · °C) initially at 120°C are quenched in a water bath at 50°C for a period of 2 min at a rate of 100 balls per minute. If the temperature of the balls after quenching is 74°C, determine the rate at which heat needs to be removed from the water in order to keep its temperature constant at 50°C.

An Aluminum cable has an initial length of (100 + 82) m at a summer temperature of 40 C. What would be the final length of the cable in winter when the temperature drops to -50 C?
An aluminum wire is wrapped in rubber insulation. Both are subject to thermal expansion, with the following coefficients of linear expansion: alphaa=24· 10−6 1/C and alphar=8· 10−5 1/C . If the wire and insulation are the same length of 1.85m at a temperature of20.00°C, what is the difference in length (in MILLIMETERS) between the copper wire and the rubber insulation when heated up to a temperature of 189.00°C?
