Two concentric spheres of diameters 15 cm and 25 cm are separated by air at 1 atm pressure. The surface temperatures of the two spheres enclosing the air are T1 = 350 K and T2 = 275 K, respectively. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the inner sphere to the outer sphere by natural convection.
A pair of eyeglass frames are made of an epoxy plastic (coefficient of linear expansion = 1.30 ✕ 10−4°C−1). At room temperature (20.0°C), the frames have circular lens holes 2.01 cm in radius. To what temperature must the frames be heated if lenses 2.02 cm in radius are to be inserted into them? °C
A perfectly insulating cylindrical glass is partially full of water. At the top of the water is a uniform layer of ice. The temperature of the water is 0 ∘C,0 ∘C, and the temperature of the air above the ice is held fixed at −19.00 ∘C.−19.00 ∘C.
If the initial thickness of the ice layer is ?i=0.0950 m and the depth of the water below the ice is ?w=0.1050 m, how long, in hours, will it take for the rest of the water to freeze? Assume that there is no transfer of heat through the sides or bottom of the glass and that the ice layer can slide freely up and down the glass.
The latent heat of fusion of water is 3.33×105 J/kg, and the thermal conductivity of ice is 2.180 W/(m⋅∘C). The density of water near freezing is 1000.0 kg/m3, and the density of ice is 917.00 kg/m3.
