Interpretation:
The specific heat of pipe is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Specific heat of a substance is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of
Answer to Problem 125QP
Solution:
The specific heat of pipe is found to be
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: Mass of pipe and water is
Heat transfer takes place from high temperature to low temperature. So, the temperature of the pipe will decrease and that of the water will increase to attain thermal equilibrium. At thermal equilibrium, temperatures of both pipe and water will be equal.
The heat lost by the pipe can be calculated as follows.
Here,
Substitute
Substitute
The heat gained by the water can be calculated as follows.
Here,
Substitute
Substitute
As no heat is lost from the water, according to the law of conservation of energy, the total heat of the system remains conserved.
The specific heat of the copper can be calculated using the above equation and the calculated values of
Therefore, the specific heat of the pipe is
The specific heat of the pipe is

The refrigerator unit uses this energy flow as part of a cyclic system to keep foods cold. A new pallet of fruit with a mass of 500 kg is placed in the refrigerator. Assume that the specific heat of the fruit is the same as that of pure water because the fruit is mostly water. Describe how you would determine the mass of the working fluid that would have to be evaporated to lower the temperature of the fruit by 15C. List any information you would have to measure or look up.arrow_forward
