Question
A cube of aluminum has an edge length of 20 cm. Aluminum has a density 2.7 times that of
water (1 g/cm3) and a specific heat 0.217 times that of water (1 cal/g · C◦). When the internal
energy of the cube increases by 47000 cal its temperature increases

Room A is at 200 kPa, v = 0.5 m3/kg, VA = 1 m3, and room B contains 3.5 kg at 0.5 MPa, 400ºC. The membrane now ruptures and heat transfer takes place so that the water comes to a uniform state a 100ºC. Find the heat transfer during the process.arrow_forwardA canister with a piston contains 1.05 kg of air at 30.0°C and 1.25 x 105 Pa. Energy is transferred by heat into the system as it expands and the pressure rises to 4.25 x 105 Pa. Throughout the expansion, the relationship between pressure and volume is given by P = cv1/2) where C is a constant. Air may be modeled as a diatomic ideal gas with a molar mass of M = 28.9 g/mol. Determine the following. (a) initial volume (in m3) 0.01477 The ideal gas law may be used to describe the air in any state, Since we want the initial volume, we should use the pressure and temperature for the initial state.

In order to keep the water in the container heated to a constant temperature of 35.0°C you adjust the temperature of the spherical heater. You reach a steady-state condition when the surface temperature of the spherical heater is at 79.0°C. Assuming the electrical efficiency of the heater is 100.0%, calculate the power required by the heater (i.e., calculate q). Ignore radiation.arrow_forward
