hot chocolate is initially 170◦ F and is left in a room with an ambient temperature of 70◦ F. Suppose that at time t = 0 it is cooling at a rate of 20◦ per minute. (a) Assume that Newton’s law of cooling applies: The rate of cooling is proportional to the difference between the current temperature and the ambient temperature. Write an initial-value problem that models the temperature of the hot chocolate.

An inventor develops a stationary cycling device by which an individual, while pedaling, can convert all of the energy expended into heat for warming water. How much mechanical energy is required to increase the temperature of 300 g of water (enough for one cup of coffee) from 20 deg C to 95 deg C? (Water has a specific heat of 4186 J/kg deg C.) A mediocre cyclist can produce 131 J of energy per second. How long (in minutes) would it take this cyclist to heat the cup of water in the previous problem for hot chocolate?

Thermal energy is being transferred through a 0.8 mm layer of human skin at a rate of 1.1 x 104 W/m2. The room temperature is 27 °C.To reduce heat flux, the skin is wrapped with a clothing material. What should be the thickness of the clothing material covering the surface of this skin tissue to reduce the heat flux to half of its original value? What is the temperature at the skin-clothing material interface? Note: if you think you need to have more information to solve this problem, you can make assumptions. Please state them clearly in your answer, if you need to make such assumptions.And please explain step by step to the answer to better understanding
A glass flask whose volume is 1000.00 cm3cm3 at 0.0∘C∘C is completely filled with mercury at this temperature. When flask and mercury are warmed to 54.5 ∘C∘C, 8.75 cm3cm3 of mercury overflow. Part A If the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is 18.0×10−5K−118.0×10−5K−1, compute the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass. Express your answer in inverse Celsius degrees.
During the summer after your first year, you are lucky enough to get a job making coffee at Starbucks, but you tell your parents and friends that you have secured a lucrative position as a “java engineer.” An eccentric chemistry professor stops in every day and orders 250 mL of house coffee at precisely 95°C. He then adds enough milk at 4°C to drop the temperature of the coffee to 90°C. Calculate the amount of milk (in mL) the professor must add to reach this temperature. (Assume coffee and milk have the same specific heat capacity: 4.186 J/g°C. Assume that they also have the same density: 1.0 g/mL)

You are planning a birthday party for your niece and need to make at least 4 gallons of Kool-Aid, which you would like to cool down to 32 oF (0 °C) before the party begins. Unfortunately, your refrigerator is already so full of treats that you know there will be no room for the Kool-Aid. So, with a sudden flash of insight, you decide to start with 4 gallons (1 gallon = 3.7854 liters, and a liter (L) is 0.001 cubic meters) of the coldest tap water you can get, which you determine is 50 °F (10 °C), and then cool it down with a 1- quart (1/4 of a gallon) chunk of ice you already have in your freezer. The owner's manual for your refrigerator states that when the freezer setting is on high, the temperature is -20 °C. Will your plan work? You assume that the density of the Kool-Aid is about the same as the density of water. You look in your physics book and find that the density of water is 1.0 g/cm3 (1kg/L), the density of ice is 0.9 g/cm3 (0.9kg/L), the heat capacity of water is 4200 J /…
