ice water metal isolation A metal block with mass mm initially has a temperature Tm,0 (with Tm,0 > 0°C). On top of that block a beaker with water with mass m and melting ice with mass m; is placed. It has a temperature T = 0°C. Everything is isolated so that there is no heat transfer to/from the surroundings. Assume the temperature of the water is homogeneous. The heat of fusion of water is Lf. The specific heat of the metal is cm; the specific heat of water is Cw; the specific heat of ice is C₁. (a) Calculate the temperature Tm,o the metal should have to just melt all the ice. Now, suppose the initial temperature I'm,0 of the metal is AT higher than the value calculated in (a) (b) Calculate the final temperature Te of the water and the metal after thermal equilibrium has been reached.

A firewalker runs across a bed of hot coals without sustaining burns. Calculate the heat transferred by conduction into the sole of one foot of a firewalker given that the bottom of the foot is a 3.00-mm-thick callus with a conductivity at the low end of the range for wood and its density is 300 kg/m3. The area of contact is 25.0 cm2 the temperature of the coals is 700 , and the time in contact is 1.00 s. Ignore the evaporative cooling of sweat.
How can an object transfer heat if the object does not possess a discrete quantity of heat?
A 0.250-kg aluminum bowl holding 0.800 kg of soup at 25.0 is placed in a freezer. What is the final temperature if 388 kJ of energy is transferred from the bowl and soup, assuming the soup's thermal properties are the same as that of water?
(a) How much heat transfer is necessary to raise the temperature of a 0.200kg piece of ice from 20.0C to 130C, including the energy needed for phase changes? (b) How much time is required for each stage, assuming a constant 20.0kJ/s rate of heat transfer? (c) Make a graph of temperature versus time for this process.
The brakes in a car increase in temperature by T when bringing the car to rest from a speed v. How much greater would T be if the car initially had twice the speed? You may assume the car stops fast enough that no heat transfers out of the brakes.
A 1.5-kg copper block is given an initial speed of 3.0 m/s on a rough horizontal surface. Because of friction, the block finally comes to rest. (a) If the block absorbs 85% of its initial kinetic energy as internal energy, calculate its increase in temperature. (b) What happens to the remaining energy?
In a showdown on the streets of Laredo, the good guy drops a 5.00-g silver bullet at a temperature of 20.0C into a 100-cm3 cup of water at 90.0C. Simultaneously, the bad guy drops a 5.00-g copper bullet at the same initial temperature into an identical cup of water. Which one ends the showdown with the coolest cup of water in the West? Neglect any energy transfer into or away from the container.
Even when shut down after a period of normal use, a large commercial nuclear reactor transfers thermal energy at the rate of 150 MW by the radioactive decay of fission products. This heat transfer causes a rapid increase in temperature it the cooling system fails (1 watt 2 1 joule/second or 1W=1J/s and 1MW=1megawatt ). (a) Calculate the rate of temperature increase in degrees Celsius per second (C/s) if the mass of the reactor core is 1.60105kg and it has an average specific heat of 0.3349kJ/kgC. (b) How long would it take to obtain a temperature increase of 2000C, which could cause some metals holding the radioactive materials to melt? (The initial rate of temperature increase would be greater than that calculated here because the heat transfer is concentrated in a smaller mass. Later, however, the temperature increase would slow down because the 5105-kg steel containment vessel would also begin to heat up.) Figure 14.32 Radioactive spentfuel pool at a nuclear power plant.

Rubbing your hands together warms them by converting work into thermal energy.

The mass of tissues warned is only 0.100 kg, mostly in the palms and fingers.
You have a Dewar flask (a laboratory vacuum flask) that has an open top and straight sides, as shown below. You fill it with water and put it into the freezer. It is effectively a perfect insulator, blocking all heat transfer, except on the top. After a time, ice forms on the surface of the water. The liquid water and the bottom surface of the ice, in contact with the liquid water, are at 0 . The top surface of the ice is at the same temperature as the air in the freezer, 18 . Set the rate of heat flow through the ice equal to the rate of loss of heat of fusion as the water freezes. When the ice layer is 0.700 cm thick, find the rate in m/s at which the ice is thickening.
