Suppose a person is covered head to foot by wool clothing with average thickness of 2.00 cm and is transferring energy by conduction through the clothing at the rate of 50.0 W. What is the temperature difference across the clothing, given the surface area is 1.40m2 ?
How is heat transfer related to temperature?
A glass coffee pot has a circular bottom with a 9.00-cm diameter in contact with a heating element that keeps the coffee warm with a continuous heat transfer rate of 50.0 W (a) What is the temperature of the bottom of the pot, if it is 3.00 mm thick and the inside temperature is 60.0C ? (b) If the temperature of the coffee remains constant and all of the heat transfer is removed by evaporation, how many grams per minute evaporate? Take the heat of vaporization to be 2340kJ/kg.
(a) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through house walls that are 13.0 cm thick and have an average thermal conductivity twice that of glass wool. Assume there are no windows or doors. The walls' surface area is 120 m2 and their inside surface is at 18.0 , while their outside surface is at 5.00 . (b) How many 1-kW room heaters would be needed to balance the heat transfer due to conduction?
One easy way to reduce heating (and cooling) costs is to add extra insulation in the attic of a house. Suppose the house already had 15 cm of fiberglass insulation in the attic and in all the exterior surfaces. If you added an extra 8.0 cm of fiberglass to the attic, then by what percentage would the heating cost of the house drop? Take the single story house to be of dimensions 10 m by 15 m by 3.0 m. Ignore air infiltration and heat loss through windows and doors.
- (a) Compute the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water from its freezing point to its normal boiling point. (b) How does your answer to (a) compare to the amount of heat needed to convert 1 kg of water at 100° C to steam at 100°C?
What are the main methods of heat transfer front the hot core of Earth to its surface? From Earth's surface to outer space? When our bodies get too warm, they respond by sweating and increasing blood circulation to the surface to transfer thermal energy away from the care. What effect will this have on a person in at 40.0C hot tub? Figure 14.30 shows a cutaway drawing of a thermos battle (also known as a Dewar flask), which is a device designed specifically to slow down all terms at heat transfer. Explain the functions of the various parts, such as the vacuum, the silvering of the walls, the thin-walled long glass neck, the rubber support, the air layer, and the stopper. Figure 14.30 The construction of a thermos bottle is designed to inhibit all methods of heat transfer.
A large body of lava from a volcano has stopped flowing and is slowly cooling. The interior of the lava is at 1200C, its surface is at 450C, and the surroundings are at 27.0C. (a) Calculate the rate at which energy is transferred by radiation from 1.00m2 of surface lava into the surroundings, assuming the emissivity is 1.00. (b) Suppose heat conduction to the surface occurs at the same rate. What is the thickness of the lava between the 450C surface and the 1200C interior, assuming that the lava’s conductivity is the same as that of brick?
A construction worker uses a steel tape to measure the length of an aluminum support column. If the measured length is 18.700 m when the temperature is 21.2C, what is the measured length when the temperature rises to 29.4C? Note: Dont neglect the expansion of the tape.
Death Valley holds the record for the highest recorded temperature in the United States. On July 10, 1913, at a place called Furnace Creek Ranch, the temperature rose to 134F. The lowest U.S. temperature ever recorded occurred at Prospect Creek Camp in Alaska on January 23, 1971, when the temperature plummeted to 79.8F. (a) Convert these temperatures to the Celsius scale, (b) Convert the Celsius temperatures to Kelvin.
An aluminum rod and an iron rod are joined end to end in good thermal contact. The two rods have equal lengths and radii. The free end of the aluminum rod is maintained at a temperature of 100.C, and the free end of the iron rod is maintained at 0C. (a) Determine the temperature of the interface between the two rods. (b) If each rod is 15 cm long and each has a cross-sectional area of 5.0 cm2, what quantity of energy is conducted across the combination in 30. min?
How many grams of coffee must evaporate from 350 g of coffee in a 100g glass cup to cool the coffee from 95.0C to 45.0C ? You may assume the coffee has the same thermal properties as water and that the average heat at vaporization is 2340kJ/kg(560cal/g). (You may neglect the change in mass of the coffee as it cools, which will give you an answer that is slightly larger than correct.)
