Air with a relative humidity of 95% and temperature of 35°C is pumped into a chamberfilled with a non-reactive porous material. The material has a porosity of 0.6 and is initiallycompletely dry. After 15 minutes, air leaving the bed has temperature of 40°C and relativehumidity of 5%.Complete this sentence:The air leaving the bed has a higher temperature than when it entered because:The latent heat of water in the gas phase was released by condensation onto the porous materialThe latent heat of water in the porous medium was released into the gas phase by a phase change.The latent heat of water in the gas phase was absorbed by evaporationThe porous material was hot and transferred its energy to the airO Condensing water reacted with the porous material exothermically (that is, the reaction made heat)

In an experiment to determine the thermal conductivity of a new metal alloy, a bar of the metal is completely surrounded by insulation and exposed to 701 W of constant heat energy at one end. The bar has a radius of 0.065 m and a length of 0.339 m. The entire set-up is place in a cold room and once the system has reached steady state conditions, the temperature at the hot end is measured to be 60.1°C and the temperature at the cold end is measured to be 12.4°C.

Liquid nitrogen is stored in 0.5-m3 metal tanks that are thoroughly insulated. Consider the process of filling an evacuated tank, initially at 295 K. It is attached to a line containing liquid nitrogen at its normal boiling point of 77.3 K and at a pressure of several bars. At this condition, its enthalpy is -120.8 kJ kg-1. When a valve in the line is opened, the nitrogen flowing into the tank at first evaporates in the process of cooling the tank. If the tank has a mass of 30 kg and the metal has a specific heat capacity of0.43 kJ kg-1 K-1, what mass of nitrogen must flow into the tank just to cool it to a temperature such that liquid nitrogen begins to accumulate in the tank? Assume that the nitrogen and the tank are always at the same temperature. The properties of saturated nitrogen vapor at several temperatures are given as follows:

A mixture of gaseous reactants is put into a cylinder, where a chemical reaction turns them into gaseous products. The cylinder has a piston that moves in or out, as necessary, to keep a constant pressure on the mixture of 1atm . The cylinder is also submerged in a large insulated water bath.
