Consider a 3-m-high rectangular enclosure consisting of two surfaces separated by a 0.1-m air gap at 1 atm. If the surface temperatures across the air gap are 30°C and –10°C, determine the ratio of the heat transfer rate for the horizontal orientation (with hotter surface at the bottom) to that for vertical orientation.
Suppose you want to raise the temperature of a mass m of ice from T0 < 0 °C to T > 100 °C. In this problem, represent the heat of fusion as Lf, the heat of vaporization as Lv, and the temperatures at which the phase changes occur as Tf and Tv. How much heat must be transferred for this to happen, including the energy needed for phase changes? Your answer should be in terms of the variables in the introduction and the specific heats of ice (ci), water (cw), and steam (cs). The talent heats are Lf= 334kJ/kg and Lv=2256kJ/kg?
Two identical concrete slabs lie flat and in contact with each other as shown in the figure. If the temperature increases by 100 °F, the lower edges opposite the contact edges remained fixed in position, and the lower edges of the contact side remain in contact, what distance x the slabs rise? The coefficient of thermal expansion of the concrete is 40 × 10-6/K. The initial slab length is 5 m.
