Freeze-dried toads have been dehydrated in a vacuum. During the process, me food freezes and must be heated to facilitate dehydration. Explain both how the vacuum speeds up dehydration and why the food freezes as a result.
In winters, if is often warmer in San Francisco than in nearby Sacramento, 150 km inland. In summers, it is nearly always hotter in Sacramento. Explain how the bodies of water surrounding San Francisco moderate its extreme temperatures.
On a hot day, the temperature of an 80,000L swimming pool increases by 150C. What is the net heat transfer during this healing? Ignore any complications, such as loss of water by evaporation.
Describe a situation in which heat transfer occurs. What are the resulting forms of energy?
What are the following temperatures on the Kelvin scale? (a) 68.0 F, an indoor temperature sometimes recommended for energy conservation in winter (b) 134 F, one of the highest atmospheric temperatures ever recorded on Earth (Death Valley, California, 1913) (c) 9890 F, the temperature of the surface of the Sun
When a driver brakes an automobile, the friction between the brake drams and the brake shoes converts the cars kinetic energy to thermal energy. If a 1 500-kg automobile traveling at 30 m/s comes to a halt, how much does the temperature rise in each of the four 8.0-kg iron brake drums? (The specific heat of iron is 448J/kg C.)
How does the latent heat of fusion of water help slow the decrease of air temperatures, perhaps preventing temperatures from falling significantly below 0C, in the vicinity of large bodies of water?
. A 1,200-kg car going 25 m/s is brought to a stop using its brakes. Let's assume that a total of approximately 20 kg of iron in the brakes and wheels absorbs the heat produced by the friction. (a) What was the car's original kinetic energy? (b) After the ear has stopped, what is the change in temperature of the brakes and wheels?
An underground gasoline lank can hold 1.00 103 gallons of gasoline at 52.0F. Suppose the tank is being filled on a day when the outdoor temperature (and the temperature of the gasoline in a tanker truck) is 95.0F. When the underground tank registers that it is full, how many gallons have been transferred from the truck, according to a non-temperature-compensated gauge on the truck? Assume the temperature of the gasoline quickly cools from 95.0F to 52.0F upon entering the tank.
The rate of heat conduction out of a window on a winter day is rapid enough to chill the air next to it To see just how rapidly the windows transfer heat by conduction, calculate the rate of conduction in watts through a 3.00-m2 window that is 0.634 cm thick (1/4 in.) if the temperatures of the inner and outer surfaces are 5.00 and 10.0 , respectively. (This rapid rate will not be maintained—the inner surface will cool, even to the point of frost formation.)
One of the honest temperatures ever recorded on the surface at Earth was 134F in Death Valley, CA. What is this temperature in Celsius degrees? What is this temperature in Kelvin?
Integrated Concepts One 30.0C day the relative humidity is 75.0%, and that evening the temperature drops to 20.0C, well below the dew point. (a) How many grams of water condense from each cubic meter of air? (b) How much heat transfer occurs by this condensation? (c) What temperature increase could this cause in dry air?
