A Swimming pool is 2.0 m deep and is at 20°C. In a heavy storm rain- water initially at 0°C, falls into the pool, raising the level by 100 mm. Subsequently, hail also at 0°C, falls into the pool, and on melting raises the level by 50 mm. Calculate the final temperature of the pool, ignoring any heat exchanges with the surroundings. (16.8°C)

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)?
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 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.
The average coefficient of linear expansion of copper is 17 106 (C)1. The Statue of Liberty is 93 in tall on a summer morning when the temperature is 25C. Assume the copper plates covering the statue are mounted edge to edge without expansion joints and do not buckle or bind on the framework supporting them as the day grows hot. What is the order of magnitude of the statues increase in height? (a) 0.1 mm (b) 1 mm (c) 1 cm (d) 10 cm (e) 1 m
An underground gasoline tank can hold 1.00 103 gallons of gasoline at 52.0F. If the tank is being filled on a day when the outdoor temperature (and the gasoline in a tanker truck) is 95.0F, how many gallons from the truck can be poured into the tank? Assume the temperature of the gasoline quickly cools from 95.0F to 52.0F upon entering the tank.
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.
The world’s deepest gold mine, which is located in South Africa, is over 3.2 km deep. Every day, the mine transfers enough energy by heat to the mine’s cooling systems to melt 362704 kg of ice at 0.0 degrees Celsius. If the energy output from the mine is increased by 4.9 percent, to what final temperature will the 362704 kg of ice-cold water be heated?
A picture window has dimensions of 1.3 m by 2.25 m and is made of glass 4.5 mm thick. On a winter day, the outside temperature is 22° C while the inside temperature is a comfortable at 18° C. (k of glass =0.045W/m.K) Calculate the following: a) the area of the window in square metres b) the temperature gradient (AT/Ax)in kelvin/metre c) the rate of heat lost through the window by conduction in watts/metre.kelvin
Consider an electrically heated brick house (k = 0.40 Btu/h·ft·°F) whose walls are 9 ft high and 1 ft thick. Two of the walls of the house are 50 ft long and the others are 35 ft long. The house is maintained at 70°F at all times while the temperature of the outdoors varies. On a certain day, the temperature of the inner surface of the walls is measured to be at 55°F while the average temperature of the outer surface is observed to remain at 45°F during the day for 10 h and at 35°F at night for 14 h. Determine the amount of heat lost from the house that day. Also determine the cost of that heat loss to the home owner for an electricity price of $0.09/kWh.
Consider a very long rectangular fin attached to a flat surface such that the temperature at the end of the fin is essentially that of the surrounding air, i.e., 20°C. Its width is 5.0 cm; thickness is 1.0 mm; thermal conductivity is 200 W/m·K; and base temperature is 40°C. The heat transfer coefficient is 20 W/m2·K. Estimate the fin temperature at a distance of 5.0 cm from the base and the rate of heat loss from the entire fin.
The maximum amount of water an adult in temperate climates can perspire in one hour is typically 1.8 L. However, after several weeks in a tropical climate the body can adapt, increasing the maximum perspiration rate to 3.5 L/h. At what rate, in watts, is energy being removed when perspiring that rapidly?Assume all of the perspired water evaporates. At body temperature, the heat of vaporization of water is Lv = 24 × 105 J/kg.
