Question
A crane is brought for the construction of the bridge over the running water and the structural elements of the bridge are placed with a crane. The iron barrier weighing 10 tons was heat treated and its temperature was raised up to 97 °C before being placed. An accident occurred during the hoist and the iron barrier fell into water at 7° C. When the iron barrier is removed from the water after a long time, it has been observed that its temperature is the same as the water. Calculate the entropy change in the iron barrier, the entropy change in water, and the entropy generation caused by these changes. For iron barrier, you can accept specific heat capacity as 0.45 kj / kg.K.

- The American Burn Association states 3. You heat up an aluminum sphere of radius r, 1.27254 cm to 100 °C. You cool a 20.0 g copper ring to 0.00000 °C. The inner radius of the copper ring is r, 1.27000 cm. You then place the sphere on top of the ring and they are allowed to reach thermal equilibrium. Assume no heat loss to the surroundings. At the equilibrium temperature the sphere falls through the ring. (a) What is the thermal equilibrium temperature? (b) What was the amount of heat that was transferred between the ring and the sphere? (e) Which object lost the heat and which object gained the heat? (d) What is the mass of the aluminum sphere? Do not use the definition of density to solve for the mass.

- 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
