- Consider the latent heat of fusion and the latent heat of vaporization for H2O, 3.33 105 J/kg and 2.256 106 J/kg, respectively. How much heat is needed to a. melt 2.00 kg of ice and b. vaporize 2.00 kg of water? Assume the temperatures of the ice and steam are at the melting point and vaporization point, respectively. (a). UsingEq21.9, Q = mLF = (2.00 kg) (3.33l05 J/kg) = 6.66105 J (b).UsingEq21.10. Q = mLV = (2.00kg) (2.256106 J/kg) = 14.51106 Jarrow_forwardAn underground gasoline tank can hold 1.00 103 gallons of gasoline at 52.0F. If the tank is being filled on a day when the outdoor temperature (and the gasoline in a tanker truck) is 95.0F, how many gallons from the truck can be poured into the tank? Assume the temperature of the gasoline quickly cools from 95.0F to 52.0F upon entering the tank.arrow_forwardTwo concrete spans that form a bridge of length L are placed end to end so that no room is allowed for expansion (Fig. P16.63a). If a temperature increase of T occurs, what is the height y to which the spans rise when they buckle (Fig. P16.63b)?arrow_forward
- In 1993, the U.S. government instituted a requirement that all room air conditioners sold in the United States must have an energy efficiency ratio (EER) of 10 or higher. The EER is defined as the ratio of the cooling capacity of the air conditioner, measured in British thermal units per hour, or Btu/h, to its electrical power requirement in watts. (a) Convert the EER of 10.0 to dimensionless form, using the conversion 1 Btu = 1 055 J. (b) What is the appropriate name for this dimensionless quantity? (c) In the 1970s, it was common to find room air conditioners with EERs of 5 or lower. State how the operating costs compare for 10 000-Btu/h air conditioners with EERs of 5.00 and 10.0. Assume each air conditioner operates for 1 500 h during the summer in a city where electricity costs 17.0 per kWh.arrow_forwardThe 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.arrow_forwardA completely sealed container, in the shape of a cube with side panels of length = 0.69 m, is full of carbonic ice at temperature -103.1 °C and placed in a room where the ambient temperature is 36.7 °C. The thickness of each (identical) panel of the container is 5.4 cm. In 1.6 days (s), an amount of 3383899 J of heat is conducted through the panels. Find the thermal conductivity of the material which the panels are made of.arrow_forward
- For the human body, what is the rate of heat transfer by conduction through the body’s tissue with the following conditions: the tissue thickness is 3.00 cm, the change in temperature is 2.00C, and the skin area is 1.50 m2. How does this compare with the average heat transfer rate to the body resulting from an energy intake of about 2400 kcal per day? (No exercise is included.)arrow_forwardA glass window in a house has an area of 0.67 m^2 and a thickness of 2.4 mm. The temperature inside the house is 21 C, and the outside temperature is 0 C. How much heat is lost through the window in 1 hour (3600 s) due to conduction? Use 1.0 W/(m x C) for the thermal conductivity of the glass. How much heat is lsot through the window in 1 hour (3600 s) due to raditaion? ( assume the temperature of the rntire glass is 21 C for this probelem). Which mode of heat transfer (condutciton vs. raditiaon) accounts for the greater amount of heat loss?arrow_forwardSuppose a person inhales and exhales 2.25 L of 37.0°C air, evaporating 4.2 × 10-2 g of water from the lungs and breathing passages with each breath. 101.4 J of heat transfer (Q), in joules, occurs due to evaporation in each breath. The latent heat of vaporization of water at body temperature of 37° C is Lv = 2414 kJ/kg. a) What is the rate of heat transfer, in watts, if the person is breathing at a moderate rate of 18.0 breaths per minute? b) If the inhaled air had a temperature of 20.0°C, what is the rate of heat transfer, in watts, for warming the air to the body temperature of 37ºC? You may assume the temperature inside a human body is a constant 37.0°C, and the density of air at this temperature is 1.20 kg/m3.arrow_forward
