- The world's deepest gold mine, which is located in South Africa, is over 5.1 km deep. Every day, the mine transfers enough energy by heat to the mine's cooling systems to melt 348114 kg of ice at 0.0 degrees Celsius. If the energy output from the mine is increased by 9.6 percent, to what final temperature will the 348114 kg of ice-cold water be heated?

- Lake Erie contains roughly 4.00 ✕ 1011 m3 of water. How much energy is required to raise the temperature of that volume of water from 18.0°C to 21.0°C? How many years would it take to supply this amount of energy by using the 1,400-MW exhaust energy of an electric power plant?arrow_forwardAn aluminum wing on a passenger jet is 40 m long when its temperature is 26°C. At what temperature would the wing be 4 cm (0.04 m) shorter?arrow_forwardAssume Lake Michigan contains 4.90 x 1012 m³ of water, and assume the water's density is that of water at 20°C and 1 atm. (a) How much energy (in J) is required to raise the temperature of that volume of water from 12.2°C to 24.4°C? 4.1E19 From the density of water and the volume, what is the mass of the water? What is specific heat? How is it related to the energy input, mass, and temperature change? Use it to solve for the energy. Be careful with units. J (b) How many years would it take to supply this amount of energy by using a power of 1,400 MW generated by an electric power plant? 926 How is power related to energy and time? Knowing the energy from part (a), can you find the time? Be careful with units. Make sure you convert the time in seconds to years. yrarrow_forward
- A 160 g copper bowl contains 120 g of water, both at 25.0°C. A very hot 420 g copper cylinder is dropped into the water, causing the water to boil, with 5,00 g being converted to steam. The final temperature of the system is 100°C. Neglect energy transfers with the environment. (a) How much energy is transferred to the water as heat? (b) How much to the bowl? (c) What is the original temperature of the cylinder? The specific heat of water is 1 cal/g-K, and of copper is 0.0923 cal/g-K. The latent heat of vaporization of water is 539 Cal/kg.arrow_forwardA typical nuclear reactor generates 1000 MW of electric energy. In doing so, it produces “waste heat” at a rate of 2000 MW, and this heat must be removed from the reactor. Many reactors are sited next to large bodies of water so that they can use the water for cooling. Consider a reactor where the intakewater is at 18°C. State regulations limit the temperature of the output water to 30°C so as not to harm aquatic organisms. How many kilograms of cooling water have to be pumped through the reactor each minute?arrow_forward
