An aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross-sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 300 K. (a) If one-half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool. (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K, what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)

A 200.0 g metal container, insulated on the outside, holds 100.0 g of water in thermalequilibrium at 22.0 oC. A 21.0 g ice cube, at the melting point, is dropped into the water. Whenthermal equilibrium is reached, the temperature is 15.0 °C. Assuming there is no heat exchangewith the surroundings, calculate the specific heat for the metal.[Given cwater = 4186.0 J/kg*K and Lf = 3.34 *10^5 J/kg]
Steam at 320°C flows in a stainless steel pipe (k =15 W/m·K) whose inner and outer diameters are 5 cm and5.5 cm, respectively. The pipe is covered with 3-cm-thickglass wool insulation (k = 0.038 W/m·K). Heat is lost to thesurroundings at 5°C by natural convection and radiation, witha combined natural convection and radiation heat transfercoefficient of 15 W/m2·K. Taking the heat transfer coefficientinside the pipe to be 80 W/m2·K, determine the rate of heatloss from the steam per unit length of the pipe. Also determinethe temperature drops across the pipe shell and the insulation.
