In an isochoric process, one mole of an ideal gas of rigid diatomic molecules at volume V is taken from an initial temperature T to a final temperature 4T. Using the convention that heat is positive when it is absorbed by the system, what is the heat transfer in terms of R and T?
A test is conducted to determine the overall heat transfer coefficient in anautomotive radiator that is a compact cross-flow water-to-air heat exchangerwith both fluids (air and water) unmixed. The radiator has 40 tubesof internal diameter 0.5 cm and length 65 cm in a closely spaced plate-finnedmatrix. Hot water enters the tubes at 90°C at a rate of 0.6 kg/s and leaves at65°C. Air flows across the radiator through the interfin spaces and is heatedfrom 20°C to 40°C. Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient Ui of thisradiator based on the inner surface area of the tubes.
Suppose you want to raise the temperature of a mass m of ice from T0 < 0 °C to T > 100 °C. In this problem, represent the heat of fusion as Lf, the heat of vaporization as Lv, and the temperatures at which the phase changes occur as Tf and Tv. How much heat must be transferred for this to happen, including the energy needed for phase changes? Your answer should be in terms of the variables in the introduction and the specific heats of ice (ci), water (cw), and steam (cs). The talent heats are Lf= 334kJ/kg and Lv=2256kJ/kg?
