Chapter 17, Problem 17.32E

A technician measures the specific heat of an unidentified liquid by immersing an electrical resistor in it. Electrical energy is converted to heat transferred to the liquid for 120 s at a constant rate of 65.0 W. The mass of the liquid is 0.780 kg, and its temperature increases from 18.55°C to 22.54°C. (a) Find the average specific heat of the liquid in this temperature range. Assume that negligible heat is transferred to the container that holds the liquid and that no heat is lost to the surroundings. (b) Suppose that in this experiment heat transfer from the liquid to the container or surroundings cannot be ignored. Is the result calculated in part (a) an overestimate or an underestimate of the average specific heat? Explain.

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
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.
