Chapter 17, Problem 14OQ

Ethyl alcohol has about one-half the specific heat of water. Assume equal amounts of energy are transferred by heat into equal-mass liquid samples of alcohol and water in separate insulated containers. The water rises in temperature by 25°C. How much will the alcohol rise in temperature? (a) It will rise by 12°C. (b) It will rise by 25°C. (c) It will rise by 50°C. (d) It depends on the rate of energy transfer. (e) It will not rise in temperature.

Consider a flat-plate solar collector placed on the roof of a house. The temperatures at the inner and outer surfaces of the glass cover are measured to be 33°C and 31°C, respectively. The glass cover has a surface area of 2.5 m2, a thickness of 0.6 cm, and a thermal conductivity of 0.7 W/m·K. Heat is lost from the outer surface of the cover by convection and radiation with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 10 W/m2·K and an ambient temperature of 15°C. Determine the fraction of heat lost from the glass cover by radiation.
A rectangular window in a home has a length of 1.5 m and a height of 0.80 m. If the window allows heat to escape from the  home at a rate of 2,000 watts, how thick must the window be if the inside temperature of the home is 220 C and the outside temperature is 3.00C? (Assume that the coefficient of thermal conduction of glass is 0.80 W/mK.)   a. 7.1 mm   b. 124 mm   c. 9.1 mm   d. 8.1 mm   e. 11 mm
The specific heats of aluminum and iron are 0.214 and 0.107 calories per gram degrees Celsius​ [cal/(g °C​)] respectively. If we add the same amount of energy to a cube of each material​ (of the same​ mass) and find that the temperature of the aluminum increases by 27 degrees Fahrenheit ​[°F​], how much will the iron temperature increase in degrees Fahrenheit ​[°F​]?
