Suppose you are standing a few feet away from a bonfire on a cold fall evening. Your face begins to feel hot. What is the mechanism that transfers heat from the fire to your face? (Hint: Is the air between you and the fire hotter or cooler than your face?)
Describe a situation in which heat transfer occurs.
Compare the rate of heat conduction through a 13.0-cm-thick wall that has an area of 10.0m2 and a thermal conductivity twice that of glass wool with the rate of heat conduction through a window that is 0.750 cm thick and that has an area of 2.00m2, assuming the same temperature difference across each.
A 0.250kg aluminum bowl holding 0.800 kg of soup at 25.0C is placed in a freezer. What is the final temperature if 377 kJ of energy is transferred from the bowl and soup, assuming the soup's thermal properties are the same as that of water? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in ProblemSolving Strategies for the Effects of Heat Transfer.
What is specific about specific heat?
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 3.00m2 window that is 0.635 cm thick (1/4 in) if the temperatures of the inner and outer surfaces are 5.00C and 10.0C, respectively. This rapid rate will not be maintainedthe inner surface will cool, and even result in frost formation.
How is heat transfer related to temperature?
A 5.0-kg block of aluminum is heated from 20C to 90C at atmospheric pressure. Find (a) the work done by the aluminum, (b) the amount of energy transferred to it by heat, and (c) the increase in its internal energy.
On a hot dry day, evaporation from a lake has just enough heat transfer to balance the 1.00kW/m2 of incoming heat from the Sun. What mass of water evaporates in 1.00 h from each square meter? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategies for the Effects of Heat Transfer.
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.)
