A physicist makes a cup of instant coffee and notices that, as the coffee cools, its level drops 3.00 mm in the glass cup. Show that this decrease cannot be due to thermal contraction by calculating the decrease in level if the 350 cm3 of coffee is in a 7.00-cm-diameter cup and decreases in temperature from 95.0 to 45.0 . (Most of the drop in level is actually due to escaping bubbles of air.)
Most automobiles have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid than may overflow when 1he engine is hot. A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 16.0L capacity when at 10.0C. What volume of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach their 95.0C operating temperature, given that the fluid’s volume coefficient of expansion is =400106/C ? Note that this coefficient is approximate, because most car radiators have operating temperatures of greater than 95.0C.
To help prevent frost damage, 4.00 kg of water at 0 is sprayed onto a fruit tree. (a) How much heat transfer occurs as the water freezes? (b) How much would the temperature of the 200-kg tree decrease if this amount of heat transferred from the tree? Take the specific heat to be 3.35k J/kg. , and assume that no phase change occurs in the tree.
A sealed room has a volume of 24 m3. It's filled with air, which may be assumed to be diatomic, at a temperature of 24 and a pressure of 9.83104 Pa. A 1.00-kg block of ice at its melting point is placed in the room. Assume the walls of the room transfer no heat. What is the equilibrium temperature?
One easy way to reduce heating (and cooling) costs is to add extra insulation in the attic of a house. Suppose a single-story cubical house already had 15 cm of fiberglass insulation in the attic and in all the exterior surfaces. If you added an extra 8.0 cm of fiberglass to the attic, by what percentage would the heating cost of the house drop? Take the house to have dimensions 10 m by 15 m by 3.0 m. Ignore air infiltration and heat loss through windows and doors, and assume that the interior is uniformly at one temperature and the exterior is uniformly at another.
What is the change in length of a 3.00mlong column of mercury if its temperature changes from 37.0C to 40.0C, assuming the mercury is unconstrained?

In some countries, liquid nitrogen is used on daily trucks instead of mechanical refrigerators. A 3.00-hour delivery trip requires 200 L of liquid nitrogen, which has a density of 808 kg/m3. (a) Calculate the heat transfer necessary to evaporate this amount of liquid nitrogen and raise its temperature to 3.00 . (Use cp and assume it is constant over the temperature range.) This value is the amount of cooling the liquid nitrogen supplies. (b) What is this heat transfer rate in kilowatt-hours? (c) Compare the amount of cooling obtained from melting an identical mass of 0- ice with that from evaporating the liquid nitrogen.
Compare the rate of heat conduction through a 13.0-cm-thick wall that has an area of 10.0 m2 and a thermal conductivity that of glass wool with the rate of heat conduction through a 0.750-cm-thick window that has an area of 2.00 m2, assuming the same temperature difference across each.

A person taking a reading of the temperature in a freezer in Celsius makes two mistakes: first omitting the negative sign and then thinking the temperature is Fahrenheit.

Some stove tops are smooth ceramic for easy cleaning. If the ceramic is 0.600 cm thick and heat conduction occurs through the same area and at the same rate as computed in Example 1.11, what is the temperature difference across it? Ceramic has the same thermal conductivity as glass and brick.
