Water is boiled at sea level in a coffee maker equipped with an immersion-type electric heating element. The coffee maker contains 1 L of water when full. Once boiling starts, it is observed that half of the water in the coffee maker evaporates in 25 min. Determine the power rating of the electric heating element immersed in water. Also, determine how long it will take for this heater to raise the temperature of 1 L of cold water from 18°C to the boiling temperature.

A “solar cooker” consists of a curved reflecting mirror that focuses sunlight onto the object to be heated (Fig. P11.69). The solar power per unit area reaching the Earth at the location of a 0.50-m-diameter solar cooker is 600. W/m2. Assuming 50% of the incident energy is converted to thermal energy, how long would it take to boil away 1.0 L of water initially at 20.°C? (Neglect the specific heat of the container.)
Many hot water heating systems have a reservoir tank connected directly to the pipeline, to allow for expansion when the water becomes hot. The heating system of a house has 76 m of a copper pipe whose inside radius is 9.5 x 10^ -3 m. When the water and pipe are heated from 24 Celcius to 78 Celcius, what must be the minimum volume of the reservoir tank to hold the overflow of water?
Six insulated containers hold 3,375 g of water at 24°C. A small copper cylinder is placed in each container; the masses and initial temperatures of the cylinders vary as given below. Rank the containers according to the maximum temperature of the water in each container after the cylinder is added, from largest to smallest. You may assume that the cylinder is completely submerged in the water. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.) m = 225 g; T = 30°C m = 450 g; T = 60°C m = 675 g; T = 90°C m = 450 g; T = 15°C m = 675 g; T = 30°C m = 225 g; T = 60°C

The maximum amount of water an adult in temperate climates can perspire in one hour is typically 1.8 L. However, after several weeks in a tropical climate the body can adapt, increasing the maximum perspiration rate to 3.5 L/h. At what rate, in watts, is energy being removed when perspiring that rapidly?Assume all of the perspired water evaporates. At body temperature, the heat of vaporization of water is Lv = 24 × 105 J/kg.
A flow calorimeter is an apparatus used to measure the specific heat of a liquid. The technique of flow calorimetry involves measuring the temperature difference between the input and output points of a flowing stream of the liquid while energy is added by heat at a known rate. A liquid of density 900 kg/m3 flows through the calorimeter with volume flow rate of 2.00 L/min. At steady state, a temperature difference 3.50°C is established between the input and output points when energy is supplied at the rate of 200 W.What is the specific heat of the liquid?
Water’s specific heat is 4.186 J/g·°C. A silicone fluid’s specific heat is 3.754 J/g·°C. Two 50 g quantities of the substances are heated with 75 J of heat energy. Which statement is true?A) The temperature of the two fluids increases by the same amountB) The temperature of the water increases more than the temperature of the silicone fluidC) The temperature of the silicone fluid increases more than the temperature of the waterD) There is not enough information to know the difference between the fluids’ rise in temperature
Steam in a heating system flows through tubes whose outer diameter is 3 cm and whose walls are maintained at a temperature of 120°C. Circular aluminum alloy fins (k = 180 W/m·K) of outer diameter 6 cm and constant thickness t = 2 mm are attached to the tube. The space between the fins is 3 mm, and thus there are 200 fins per meter length of the tube. Heat is transferred to the surrounding air at 25°C, with a combined heat transfer coefficient of 60 W/m2·K. Determine the increase in heat transfer from the tube per meter of its length as a result of adding fins.
In a cylinder with a volume of 3.0 l and a temperature of 300 K, oxygen is under pressure of 2.0 bar. We perform the following sequential operations: 1) heat the oxygen isobaric to 500 K, 2) cool it isochorically to 250 K, 3) cool it isobaric to 150 K and 4) heat it isochorically to 300 K. Calculate the heat that the system receives. (The solution is 2.15 kJ)
A double-pipe parallel-flow heat exchanger is used to heat cold tap water with hot water. Hot water (cp = 4.25 kJ/kg·K) enters the tube at 85°C at a rate of 1.4 kg/s and leaves at 50°C. The heat exchanger is not well insulated, and it is estimated that 3 percent of the heat given up by the hot fluid is lost from the heat exchanger. If the overall heat transfer coefficient and the surface area of the heat exchanger are 1150 W/m2·K and 4 m2, respectively, determine the rate of heat transfer to the cold water and the log mean temperature difference for this heat exchanger.

Determine the time [min] required to increase the water temperature to 50°C when it is immersed into tank, filled with oil at 105°C. (NOTE: The overall heat transfer coefficient between the oil and the water is 284 W/m2.K. The surface area is 4.2 m2.)
Air (cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·°C) is to be preheated by hot exhaust gases in a cross-flow heat exchanger before it enters the furnace. Air enters the heat exchanger at 95 kPa and 20°C at a rate of 0.6 m3/s. The combustion gases (cp = 1.10 kJ/kg·°C) enter at 160°C at a rate of 0.95 kg/s and leave at 95°C. Determine the rate of heat transfer to the air and its outlet temperature.
