Q1: If a calorimeter is not assumed to be adiabatic, how would one calculate the heat transfer? Guide Questions: What are the parameters to be considered and the equations to be used? What law of thermodynamics does this transfer of heat to the surroundings touch? Is an adiabatic system automatically considered as a closed system? Please help me understand by also attaching a reference/book/journal article. This would help me in my essay. Thank you.

2.2 A metal block is riding a conveyor as it travels through a tunnel type furnace and is subjected to a gradually increasing temperature. With respect to speed of travel, the surrounding temperature of the metal block (i.e. the furnace interior) increases by: T = 50°C + 10°C/min. Where, T furnace temperature in °C. 50°C is the atmospheric temperature at the furnace entry. Draw your best guess of the metal temperature vs. time on a graph for 60 min. from start.
An electric hot water heater consumes 3.1 kilowatts of electricity and converts it to heat. How long will it take the water heater to heat a 67 gallon tank of water from 10 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius? (1 kilogram of water is 0.37 gallons, 1 Calorie = 4200 J). It may be helpful to refer back to the weekly handout for guidance on this problem. Your final answer should be in minutes (rounded to the nearest 10 minutes).
