You need to pick up a very hot cooking pot in your kitchen. You have a pair of hot pads. Should you soak them in cold water or keep them dry in order to pick up the pot most comfortably?
You are asked to test a machine that the inventor calls an“in-room air conditioner”: a big box, standing in the middleof the room, with a cable that plugs into a power outlet.When the machine is switched on, you feel a stream of coldair coming out of it. How do you know that this machinecannot cool the room?
mmh When resting, a person has a metabolic rate of about 3.0 × 10°
joules per hour. The person is submerged neck-deep into a tub
containing 1.2 × 10° kg of water at 21.00 °C. If the heat from the person
goes only into the water, find the water temperature after half an hour.

- We often cut a watermelon in half and put it into the freezer to cool it quickly. Butusually we forget to check on it and end up having a watermelon with a frozen layeron the top. To avoid this potential problem a person wants to set the timer such thatit will go off when the temperature of the exposed surface of the watermelon dropsto 3°C. Consider a 25-cm-diameter spherical watermelon that is cut into two equalparts and put into a freezer at 212°C. Initially, the entire watermelon is at a uniformtemperature of 25°C, and the heat transfer coefficient on the surfaces is 22 W/m2·K.Assuming the watermelon to have the properties of water, determine how long itwill take for the center of the exposed cut surfaces of the watermelon to drop to 3°C.Answer: 46.7 minarrow_forwardA radiator has water in it filled to the top when the engine is cold. (a) What happens to the water when the engine is running, and the water temperature has risen? (b) What do modern car engines have in their cooling system to prevent the loss of coolant?arrow_forwardYour granny normally took a hot 2L hot water bottle (covered with a thin towel and at 50 degrees Celsius) with her to bed on a very cold winters night and it worked quite well. She however decided to replace the water bottle with a huge 2 kg piece of iron (also covered with a towel at 50 degrees Celsius). She only used the 2kg piece of iron for one day and decided to rather always use the hot water bottle throughout the cold winter. Use your knowledge of Physics to explain why granny only used the hot piece of iron for ONE day and went back to using the hot water bottle aferwards.arrow_forward

- It’s a hot day, and your apartment is rather warm. Your roommate suggests cooling off the apartment by keeping the door of the refrigerator open. Will this help the situation?arrow_forwardLiquid water turns out to have a higher density at4C degrees than at any other temperature. What does this tell us about the coefficient of thermal expansion of water between 0 and 4 degrees?(A) It is negative.(B) It is zero.(C) It is positive but somewhat small.(D) It is positive and very large.arrow_forwardYou are asked to design a heating system for a swimming pool that is 2 m deep, 25 m long, and 25 m wide. Your client desires that the heating system be large enough to raise the water temperature from 20 to 30°C in 3 h. The rate of heat loss from the water to the air at the outdoor design conditions is determined to be 960 W/m2, and the heater must also be able to maintain the pool at 30°C at those conditions. Heat losses to the ground are expected to be small and can be disregarded. The heater considered is a natural gas furnace whose efficiency is 80 percent. What heater size (in kW input) would you recommend to your client?arrow_forward
