- How much energy must be transferred as heat for a reversible isothermal expansion of an ideal gas at 132 degrees Celcius if the enthropy of the gas increases by 46.0 J/Karrow_forwardFor bacteriological testing of water supplies and in medical clinics, samples must routinely be incubated for 24 h at 37°C. A standard constant - temperature bath with electric heating and thermostatic control is not suitable in developing nations without continuously operating electric power lines. Peace Corps volunteer and MIT engineer Amy Smith invented a low - cost, low-maintenance incubator to fill the need. The device consists of a foam-insulated box containing several packets of a waxy material that melts at 37.0°C, interspersed among tubes, dishes, or bottles containing the test samples and growth medium (food for bacteria). Outside the box, the waxy material is first melted by a stove or solar energy collector. Then it is put into the box to keep the test samples warm as it solidifies. The heat of fusion of the phase-change material is 205 kJ/kg. Model the insulation as a panel with surface area 0.490 m2, thickness 9.50 cm, and conductivity 0.012 0 W/m ∙ °C.

- A thermopane window consists of two glass panes, each 0.50 cm thick, with a 1.0-cm-thick sealed layer of air in between. If the inside surface temperature is 20.8°C and the outside surface temperature is 0.0°C, determine the rate of energy transfer through 1.75m2 of the window. Compare your answer to (a) with the rate of energy transfer through 75m2 of a single 1.0-cm-thick pane of glass. Disregard surface air layers.

(a) Assuming all the internal energy transformed by friction when the car stops is deposited in the brakes and neglecting energy transfer, how many times could the car be braked to rest starting from 25.0 m/s before the brakes would begin to melt? (Assume an initial temperature of 20.0°C.) (b) Identify some effects that are neglected in part (a), but are likely to be important in a more realistic assessment of the temperature increase of the brakes.arrow_forwardA car tire contains 0.0390 m3 of air at a pressure of 2.20×105 N/m2 (about 32 psi). How much more internal energy does this gas have than the same volume has at zero gauge pressure (which is equivalent to normal atmospheric pressure)?arrow_forward
- Indirect Cooling With Liquid Nitrogen. You are designing a system to cool an insulated silver plate of dimensions 2.00 cm x 2.00 cm x 0.60 cm. One end of a thermally insulated copper wire (diameter D = 2.60 mm and length L = 14.0 cm) is dipped into a vat of liquid nitrogen (T= 77.2 K), and the other end is attached to the bottom of the silver plate. (a) If the silver plate starts at room temperature (70.0 °F), what is the initial rate of heat flow between the plate and the liquid nitrogen reservoir?
