The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170.00 m on a day when the temperature is 35.0 . What will its height be on a day when the temperature falls to -10.0 ? Although the monument is made of limestone, assume that its coefficient of thermal expansion is the same as that of marble. Give your answer to five significant figures.
One easy way to reduce heating (and cooling) costs is to add extra insulation in the attic of a house. Suppose a single-story cubical house already had 15 cm of fiberglass insulation in the attic and in all the exterior surfaces. If you added an extra 8.0 cm of fiberglass to the attic, by what percentage would the heating cost of the house drop? Take the house to have dimensions 10 m by 15 m by 3.0 m. Ignore air infiltration and heat loss through windows and doors, and assume that the interior is uniformly at one temperature and the exterior is uniformly at another.
Consider the latent heat of fusion and the latent heat of vaporization for H2O, 3.33 105 J/kg and 2.256 106 J/kg, respectively. How much heat is needed to a. melt 2.00 kg of ice and b. vaporize 2.00 kg of water? Assume the temperatures of the ice and steam are at the melting point and vaporization point, respectively. (a). UsingEq21.9, Q = mLF = (2.00 kg) (3.33l05 J/kg) = 6.66105 J (b).UsingEq21.10. Q = mLV = (2.00kg) (2.256106 J/kg) = 14.51106 J
Most automobiles have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid than may overflow when 1he engine is hot. A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 16.0L capacity when at 10.0C. What volume of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach their 95.0C operating temperature, given that the fluid’s volume coefficient of expansion is =400106/C ? Note that this coefficient is approximate, because most car radiators have operating temperatures of greater than 95.0C.
To help prevent frost damage, 4.00 kg of water at 0 is sprayed onto a fruit tree. (a) How much heat transfer occurs as the water freezes? (b) How much would the temperature of the 200-kg tree decrease if this amount of heat transferred from the tree? Take the specific heat to be 3.35k J/kg. , and assume that no phase change occurs in the tree.
At 25.0 m below the surface of the sea, where the temperature is 5.00C, a diver exhales an air bubble having a volume of 1.00 cm3. If the surface temperature of the sea is 20.0C, what is the volume of the bubble just before it breaks the surface?
The convection heat transfer coefficient for a clothedperson standing in moving air is expressed as h = 14.8V 0.69for 0.15 < V < 1.5 m/s, where V is the air velocity.

Approximately how long should it take 9.8 kgkg of ice at O•C•C to melt when it is placed in a carefully sealed Styrofoam ice chest of dimensions 25 cmcm ×x 35 cmcm ×× 55 cmcm whose walls are 1.2 cmcm thick? Assume that the conductivity of Styrofoam is double that of air and that the outside temperature is 29 •CoC.
For the human body, what is the rate of heat transfer by conduction through the body’s tissue with the following conditions: the tissue thickness is 3.00 cm, the change in temperature is 2.00ºC, and the skin area is 1.50m2. How does this compare with the average heat transfer rate to the body resulting from an energy intake of about 2400 kcal per day? (No exercise is included.)
During the winter, the inside of an average house is maintained at 20 °C, while the outside temperature is 0 °C. Assuming that the only mechanism of heat transfer is conduction, the walls are 10 cm thick and the heatconductivity of the walls is 0.5 W/(Km). a) Calculate the heat flux from the room to the surroundings in W/m2. b) To reduce the heat loss through the walls, the material should be changed to an insulator material. Thenew overall conductivity will be 0.1 W/(Km); the thickness of the walls is maintained. Calculate the reductionof the heat flux through the walls compared to the initial case.
Solar radiation is incident on a 5 m2 solar absorberplate surface at a rate of 800 W/m2. Ninety-three percent ofthe solar radiation is absorbed by the absorber plate, whilethe remaining 7 percent is reflected away. The solar absorberplate has a surface temperature of 40°C with an emissivityof 0.9 that experiences radiation exchange with the surroundingtemperature of -5°C. In addition, convective heat transferoccurs between the absorber plate surface and the ambientair of 20°C with a convection heat transfer coefficient of7 W/m2∙K. Determine the efficiency of the solar absorber,which is defined as the ratio of the usable heat collected bythe absorber to the incident solar radiation on the absorber.
