A well-mixed cement-lined storage tank contains water initially at 50°C. The water loses energy to its surroundings via conduction through the tank's concrete-lined walls. The tank sits in an unheated warehouse with an air temperature of 0°C. A diagram of the storage tank is shown below. The cement lining is 1.5-cm thick and has a thermal conductivity (htc) of 2.0 W/(m K). height = 1.5 m diameter = 2.0 m a. How long will it take (in minutes) for the water to cool to 40°C?

Consider a heat engine with a piston chamber that has a diameter of 30 mm, a cold reservoir at 285 K and hot reservoir at 350 K. It is also equipped with a metal can cylinder that has a volume of 0.0002 m3. How many moles of air are present in the system if the metal cylinder is in the cold tank and the measured pressure and the total air volume are 104160 and 0.00015 m3, respectively?
169 g of solid water (i.e. ice), at -17 °C, is placed into a sealed, insulated container with a volume of 0.29 m^3. A 1457 W heater is used to heat and change the phase of the sample until it is a gaseous water (i.e. steam). The heater runs for 433 s. What is the pressure, in kPa, of the gaseous water in the container at the end of the heating process? Round your answer to the first decimal place.
1. It is commonly recommended that hot foods be cooled first to room temperature by simply waiting a while before they are put into the refrigerator to save energy. Despite this common sense recommendation, a person keeps cooking a large pan of stew twice a week and putting the pan into the refrigerator while it is still hot, thinking that the money saved is probably too little. The average mass of the pan and its contents is 5-kg. The average temperature of the kitchen is 20°C, and the average temperature of the food is 95°C when it is taken off the stove. The refrigerated space is maintained at 3°C, and the average specific heat of the food and the pan can be taken to be 3.9 kJ/kg-K. If the refrigerator has a coefficient of performance of 1.2 and the cost of electricity is Php 21.59 per kW-hr. Determine how much will be saved a year by waiting for the food to cool to room temperature before putting it into the refrigerator. Ans: Php 170.66 20°C Hot food 5°C
We have a system made up of a glass container (glass) whose bottom and top have been insulated. A mass of liquid (m) is introduced inside it at a temperature T. As this mass of water transmits heat, its temperature TI decreases, without changing the ambient temperature TA. Measurements of temperature are made with water and with saline water at different times. How would you calculate the convective heat transfer coefficient (h)?
