A household refrigerator that has a power input of 450 W and a COP of 1.5 is to cool 5 large watermelons, 10 kg each, to 8°C. If the watermelons are initially at 28°C, determine how long it will take for the refrigerator to cool them. The watermelons can be treated as water whose specific heat is 4.2 kJ/kg·°C. Is your answer realistic or optimistic? Explain.
In calorimeter and specific heat experiment, why are the final temperature of water, final temperature of calorimeter, and final temperature of metal must be all equal or the same?
Why is it that you need a water trap in performing this experiment? Why can’t you introduce
the steam directly to the calorimeter cup?
