Latent heat of fusion is the heat given up as a substance freezes. The latentheat of fusion for water is 144 British thermal units per pound (Btu/lb). Thismeans that 144 Btu are given up for each pound of water that freezes. Howmany British thermal units of heat are given up when 4,000 pounds of waterfreeze?

the specific heat (cp or cv) can also be understood as a "capacity or ability of a given material to store "heat". In this way, we can say that: 1- the greater the specific heat, the greater the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material.2- the higher the specific heat, the lower the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material3- the lower the specific heat, the greater the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material4- the lower the specific heat, the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material does not change5-the higher the specific heat, the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material does not change choose only one of the above alternatives as correct

In the United States, electricity is sold using the SI units of kilowatt (kW) or megawatt (MW), and fuel for power generation stations is generally purchased using English units, e.g., British thermal unit (Btu), gallon (gal), and ton. An industrial power plant has an average annual load of 100 MW (electrical). If the overall thermal efficiency is 33% (based on HHV), what is the annual cost of fuel if the plant is fired with (a) natural gas, (b) No. 2 fuel oil, and (c) bituminous coal? Use the data from Tables 2.2, 2.7, and 2.13. Assume the cost of natural gas is $5/million Btu, the cost of No. 2 fuel oil is $3/gal, and the cost of bituminous coal is $60/ton (1 ton = 2000 lbm)
