- Two friends, Jack and Jill, sit down to talk and enjoy a cup of coffee. When the coffee is served, Jack immediately adds a tablespoon of cream to his coffee. Jill, occupied with the discussion, waits 10 minutes before adding a tablespoon of cream, which has been kept at a constant temperature. The two friends then begin to drink their coffee. Who has the hotter coffee at that time? Assume that the cream is cooler than the air and justify your answer using Newton’s law of cooling.arrow_forwardThe hot water coming out of a hydrothermal vent is sometimes called vent fluid. Why would you and I find these vent fluids to be an unpleasant thing to be exposed to? a They are some of the coldest fluids on Earth, being much colder than the normal freezing point of water. b They can be up to 400 degrees Celsius, and contain dissolved compounds like hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and methane. c The vent fluids are actually an exotic type of magma, made of silicate minerals. d They are actually ultra-pure water, with nothing at all dissolved in them; so pure that even simple cells will die due to the lack of nutrients in the fluids.arrow_forwardThere is a cylindical piece of nickel, that is 5 cm in diameter and 10 cm in length, that is initially at 20 degrees Celcius before being dropped into a hot fluid that is at 190 degrees Celcius. Determine the amount of heat gained by the cylinder until its temperature rises to 80 degrees Celcius. Show details in calculations and specify values retrieved from property tables.arrow_forward
- Which of these is NOT a correct explanation for how convection works? Less dense fluids rise above denser fluids. Hotter fluids rise above colder fluids. Colder fluids sink below hotter fluids. Less dense fluids sink below denser fluids.arrow_forwardWhat are the physical and thermal properties of water at 6 degrees celsiarrow_forwardA chromel–constantan thermocouple measuring the temperature of a fluid is connected by mistake with copper–constantan extension leads (such that the two constantan wires are connected together and the copper extension lead wire is connected to the chromel thermocouple wire). If the fluid temperature was actually 250 C and the junction between the thermocouple and extension leads was at 90 C, what e.m.f. would be measured at the open ends of the extension leads if the reference junction is maintained at 0 C? What fluid temperature would be deduced from this (assuming that the connection error was not known)?arrow_forward
- 1. A steel sphere 3” in diameter heated to 600oF, is to be cooled by immersion in an oil bath at 100oF. Calculate the average temperature of the sphere a) 10 sec and b) 6 min after immersion. For steel, k = 26Btu/ft-h-oF; = 486lb/ft3 ; Cp = 0.11Btu/lboF.arrow_forwardA long 8-cm diameter vertical steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 90 degrees C passes through some open area that is not protected against the wind blows. Determine the rate of heat loss from the pipe per unit length when the air is at 1 atm, 7 degrees Celsius and the wind is blowing across the pipe at a velocity of 50 km/h.

- Q 1. Define and briefly elaborate terms listed below, support your elaboration with mathematical equations and illustrations where necessary: a. Mole fraction of species and mass fraction of species. b. Critical radius of insulation related to heat transfer in pipes.arrow_forwardDuring a cold winter day, wind at 55 km/h is blowing parallel to a 4m high and 10m long wall of a house. If the air outside is at 5 degrees Celsius and the surface temperature of the wall is 12 degrees Celsius , determine the rate of heat loss from the wall by convection. What would your answer be if the wind velocity has doubled? From Table A-1:thermal conductivity, k = 0.0246 W/m degrees Celsiusviscosity, v = 1.4 x 10^-5 m^2/sPrandtl no.
