- Why is a person able to remove a piece of dry aluminum foil from a hot oven with bare fingers, whereas a burn results if there is moisture on the foil?arrow_forwardThe ground temperature a few meters below the surface is fairly constant throughout the year and is near the average value of the air temperature. In areas in which the air temperature drops very low in the winter, the exterior unit of a heat pump designed for heating is sometimes buried underground in order to use the earth as a thermal reservoir. Why is it worthwhile to bury the heat exchanger, even if the underground unit costs more to purchaseand install than one above ground?arrow_forwardImagine that a hypothetical life form is discovered on our moon and transported to Earth. On a hot day, this life form begins to sweat, and it is determined that the heat of vaporization of its sweat is 167 cal/g . The scientist observing the extraterrestrial life form also begins to sweat. The heat of vaporization of the scientist's sweat is 580 cal/g at the skin's surface. If both the extraterrestrial life form and the scientist lose 568 g of sweat over the course of one hour, calculate the heat lost by each body from the vaporization of sweatarrow_forward
- The water passing over Victoria falls, located along the Zambezi River on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, drops about 105 m. How much internal energy is produced per kilogram as a result of the fall? a. 1030.05 b. 1260.05 c. 1180.05 d. 1770.05arrow_forwardConsider a room that is initially at the outdoor temperature of 20 C. The room contains a 60-W light bulb, a 3000-W electric oven, a 400-W TV set and two 300-W fridge. Assuming no heat transfer through the walls, determine the rate of increase of the energy content of the room when all of these electric devices are on.arrow_forwardHow would you describe the internal energy of a system in terms of the kinetic and potential energy of all its particles and atoms?arrow_forward
- A 4-ton air conditioner removes 5.06×107 J (48,000 British thermal units) from a cold environment in 1.00 h. (a) What energy input in joules is necessary to do this if the air conditioner has an energy efficiency rating (EER) of 12.0? (b) What is the cost of doing this if the work costs 10.0 cents per 3.06×106 J (one kilowatthour)? (c) Discuss whether this cost seems realistic. Note that the energy efficiency rating (EER) of an air conditioner or refrigerator is defined to be the number of British thermal units of heat transfer from a cold environment per hour divided by the watts of power input.arrow_forwardA certain cloud at an altitude of 1.75 km contains 3.2x107 kg of water vapor. What time it would take a 2.7 kW pump to lift the same amount of water from the surface from the Earth to the position of the cloud?arrow_forwardA flat-plate solar collector is used to heat water by having water flow through tubes attached at the back of the thin solar absorber plate. The absorber plate has a surface area of 2 m2 with emissivity and absorptivity of 0.9. The surface temperature of the absorber is 35°C, and solar radiation is incident on the absorber at 500 W/m2 with a surrounding temperature of 0°C. Convection heat transfer coefficient at the absorber surface is 5 W/m2∙K, while the ambient temperature is 25°C. Net heat rate absorbed by the solar collector heats the water from an inlet temperature (Tin) to an outlet temperature (Tout). If the water flow rate is 5 g/s with a specific heat of 4.2 kJ/kg∙K, determine the temperature rise of the water.arrow_forward
- When you put on the brakes on your bicycle, friction heats the steel rims of your wheels. Could this heating be a problem? Suppose a 65 kg cyclist with a 15 kg bike is descending Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, going down a 7.0% grade and thus losing 7.0 m in height for every 100 m oftravel along the road. If the cyclist keeps a constant speed of 6.0 m/s, and we assume that all of the “lost” energy ends up as thermal energy in the two steel rims, each of mass 0.80 kg, by how much does the temperature of each rim rise in 1.0 minute?arrow_forwardIf I add 12,183 J of energy to an ideal gas inside a balloon causing the internal energy to increase by 5185 J, how much work is done on the environment by the gas as the balloon expands?arrow_forwardWhat is the change in internal energy (in J) of a system that does 4.50 ✕ 105 J of work while 3.40 ✕ 106 J of heat transfer occurs into the system, and 9.00 ✕ 106 J of heat transfer occurs to the environment?arrow_forward
