A high-end gas stove usually has at least one burner rated at 14 000 Btu/h. (a) If you place a 0.25-kg aluminum pot containing 2.0 liters of water at 20°C on this burner, how long will it take to bring the water to a boil, assuming all the heat from the burner goes into the pot? (b) Once boiling begins, how much time is required to boil all the water out of the pot?

Two concrete spans that form a bridge of length L are placed end to end so that no room is allowed for expansion (Fig. P16.63a). If a temperature increase of T occurs, what is the height y to which the spans rise when they buckle (Fig. P16.63b)?
An aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross-sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 300 K. (a) If one-half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool. (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K, what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)

Steam at 320°C flows in a stainless steel pipe (k =15 W/m·K) whose inner and outer diameters are 5 cm and5.5 cm, respectively. The pipe is covered with 3-cm-thickglass wool insulation (k = 0.038 W/m·K). Heat is lost to thesurroundings at 5°C by natural convection and radiation, witha combined natural convection and radiation heat transfercoefficient of 15 W/m2·K. Taking the heat transfer coefficientinside the pipe to be 80 W/m2·K, determine the rate of heatloss from the steam per unit length of the pipe. Also determinethe temperature drops across the pipe shell and the insulation.

A metal rod is 10 cm long and has a diameter of 2 cm one end is in contact with steam at 100 deg C while the other end contacts a block of ice at 0 deg C.
