A perfectly insulating cylindrical glass is partially full of water. At the top of the water is a uniform layer of ice. The temperature of the water is 0 °C, and the temperature of the air above the ice is held fixed at – 19.00 °C. If the initial thickness of the ice layer is yi = 0.0950 m and the depth of the water below the ice is Yw = 0.0650 m, how long, in hours, will it take for the rest of the water to freeze? Assume that there is no transfer of heat through the sides or bottom of the glass and that the ice layer can slide freely up and down the glass. The latent heat of fusion of water is 3.33 x 10° J/kg, and the thermal conductivity of ice is 2.180 W/(m-°C). The density of water near freezing is 1000.0 kg/m³, and the density of ice is 917.00 kg/m³.
Energy transfer
The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.
Molar Specific Heat
Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)
Thermal Properties of Matter
Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which is transferred between the two systems or in between the systems and their surrounding by the virtue of difference in temperature. Calorimetry is that branch of science which helps in measuring the changes which are taking place in the heat energy of a given body.
