- The difference between the outlet and inlet temperature of the flow calorimeter, with which we measure the specific heat of water is 1.2 K. What is the power of the heater if the water flow through the calorimeter is 4.8 l/min? (The solution is 24 kW)arrow_forwardConsider a condenser in which steam at a specified temperature is condensed by rejecting heat to the cooling water. If the heat transfer rate in the condenser and the temperature rise of the cooling water is known, explain how the rate of condensation of the steam and the mass flow rate of the cooling water can be determined. Also, explain how the total thermal resistance R of this condenser can be evaluated in this case.arrow_forwardA 1.00 mol sample of water vapour is enclosed in a rigid container equipped with a 9.97 Q electric resistance heater. When a current of 0.200 A is passed through the resistor for 100.0 s, the temperature of the apparatus was observed to increase by 0.465 K. Separate measurements on the evacuated container show that the heat capacity of the container and resistance heater is 60.50 J.

- A family comes home from a long vacation with laundry to do and showers to take. The water heater has been turned off during vacation. If the water heater has a capacity of 51.3 gallons and a 4940 W heating element, how much time is required to raise the temperature of the water from 19.4°C to 63.3°C? Assume that the heater is well insulated and no water is withdrawn from the tank during this time.arrow_forwardThe absolute tolerance of the final answer is ±1e-8. i will give a huge thumbs up! Thank you!arrow_forwardEven when shut down after a period of normal use, a large commercial nuclear reactor transfers thermal energy at the rate of 150 MW by the radioactive decay of fission products. This heat transfer causes a rapid increase in temperature if the cooling system fails (1 watt = 1 joule/second or 1 W = 1 J/s and 1 MW = 1 megawatt). (a) Calculate the rate of temperature increase in degrees Celsius per second (C/s) if the mass of the is 1.60105 kg and it has an average specific heat of 0.3349 kJ/kg . C. (b) How long would it take to obtain a temperature increase of 2000 C, which could cause some metals holding the radioactive materials to melt? (The initial rate of temperature increase would be greater than that calculated here because the heat transfer is concentrated in a smaller mass. Later, however, the temperature increase would slow down because the 500,000-kg steel containment vessel would also begin to heat up.)arrow_forward
- To conduct an experiment, the room temperature in a lab needs to be as close as possible to -2 degrees Celsius. Any variation from this target temperature, whether warmer or cooler, is considered an error that could affect the experiment. Function v gives the absolute temperature error as a function of the room temperature in degrees Celsius, x.Select all statements that are true about the function and the situation.When the room temperature is 0 degrees Celsius, v(0) has a value of 2.When the room temperature is -3 degrees Celsius, the absolute temperature error, v(-3), is -1.When the room temperature is 3 degrees Celsius, v(3) is 5.The equation v(x) = |x - 2| gives us the absolute temperature error when the room temperature is x degrees Celsius.When v(x)=0.5, the room temperature could be -1.5 or -2.5 degrees Celsius.The equation v(x) = |x+2| gives us the absolute temperature error when the room temperature is x degrees Celsius.arrow_forwardA 20.65 g of ice at -10°C was completely melted in 115.35 g of water with an initial temperature of 75°C. The final temperature of the melted ice and water is 52°C.

- A thermocouple, with a spherical junction diameter of 0.5 mm, is used for measuring the temperature of hot air flow in a circular duct. The convection heat transfer coefficient of the air flow can be related with the diameter (D) of the spherical junction and the average air flow velocity (V) as h = 2.2(V/D)0.5, where D, h, and V are in m, W/m2?K and m/s, respectively. The properties of the thermocouple junction are k = 35 W/m?K, r = 8500 kg/m3, and cp = 320 J/kg?K. Determine the minimum air flow velocity that the thermocouple can be used, if the maximum response time of the thermocouple to register 99 percent of the initial temperature difference is 5 s.arrow_forwardIf there was a Murphy’s law for thermodynamic lab experiments in physics, what would it be and why?arrow_forwardA computer in a well-sealed and well-insulated (thermally) room, dissipates energy at a rate of 500W.
