Chips by the Ton Tortilla chips are manufactured by submerging baked and partially cooled masa at 41 °C into corn oil at 182 °C. (a) If the specific heat of masa is 1850J/(kg.K), how much thermal energy is required to warm 0.454 kg of masa to the temperature of the oil? (b) If the production line makes 227 kg of chips every hour, at what rate (in kW) must thermal energy be supplied to the corn oil, assuming that all of the energy goes into warming the masa?

An Introduction to Thermal Physics
- A 4ton air conditioner removes 5.60107J (48,000 British thermal units) from a cold environment in 1.00 h. (a) What energy input in joules is necessary to do this if the air conditioner has an energy efficiency rating (EER) of 12.0? (b) What is the cost of doing this if the work costs 10.0 cents per 3.60106J (one kilowatt—hour)? (c) Discuss whether this cost seems realistic. Note that the energy efficiency rating (EER) of an air conditioner or refrigerator is defined to be the number of British thermal units of heat transfer from a cold environment per hour divided by the watts of power input.arrow_forwardCompare the SI units of specific heat and latent heat and explain any differences.arrow_forwardA 75-kg sprinter accelerates from rest to a speed of 11.0 m/s in 5.0 s. (a) Calculate the mechanical work done by the sprinter during this time. (b) Calculate the average power the sprinter must generate. (c) If the sprinter converts food energy to mechanical energy with an efficiency of 25%, at what average rate is he burning Calories? (d) What happens to the other 75% of the food energy being used?arrow_forward
- A container holds 1.8 kg of ice at -15.0 degree C. (mass of the container can be ignored) Heat begins to be supplied to the container at a constant rate of 600 J/min. The specific heat of ice water is 2010 J/(kg K), and the latent heat of melting is 334000 J/kg. How many mins. until ice begins to melt? How many additional mins will it take until the ice has fully melted?arrow_forwardA 361-W heat pump operates between the ground, whose temperature is 6.2, and the interior of a house at 20.1. What is the theoretical maximum amount of heat per hour that the heat pump can supply to the house? Express your answer in MJ, to at least one digit after the decimal point.arrow_forward27 J of heat energy is transferred into an ideal gas and 46 J of work is done on the gas. What is the change in thermal energy, in Joules? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forward
- A worker drives a 0.500 kg spike into a rail tie with a 2.50 ksledgehammer. The hammer hits the spike with a speed of 65.0 m/s. Ifone-third of the hammer’s kinetic energy is converted to internal energy ofthe hammer and the spike, how much does the total internal energy increase?arrow_forward600 J of work is done on a system in a process that decreases the thermal energy of the system by 300 J . How much heat energy is transferred to or from the system as heat? Enter positive value if the energy is transferred to the system and negative if the energy is transferred from the system. Express your answer in joules.arrow_forwardmmh One ounce of a well-known breakfast cereal contains 110 Calories (1 food Calorie = 4186 J).

The answer in watt must be rounded to the nearest 10 W.arrow_forwardA 65-kg indoor rock climber eats an energy bar that has 500 kilocalories to fuel an afternoon of climbing. If the climber has a typical 20% efficiency for energy used by the body, how many times can the climber scale an 11.8-m wall using the energy provided by the bar? (1.00J = 4.184 cal) A. two timesB. three timesC. twelve timesD. fifteen timesarrow_forwardHeating The amount of chemical potential energy stored in one gallon of heating oil is approximately 130 MJ. This is the amount of energy released as heat during combustion. (Note: 1.0 kWh = 3600 kW-sec = 3600 kJ = 3.6 MJ. Verify this equivalency and use it to answer the following question.) a. Suppose that during the winter, heating your home with oil may require an average of 6 gallons of oil per day. Assuming that to be the case, what is the average daily energy consumption? (Express your answer in kWh.) b. If the cost of heating oil is $3.00/gallon, what is the daily cost to heat your home? Use this information to find the cost of heating with oil in units of cents/kWh.arrow_forward
