The center span of a steel bridge is 1,495 meters long on a winter day when the temperature is -9 C. How much longer is the span on a summer day when the temperature is 29 C? Use a thermal expansion coefficient of 12x10-6 /C

You wish to cool a 1.95 kg block of brass initially at 80.0°C to a temperature of 41.0°C by placing it in a container of water initially at 20.0°C. Determine the volume (in L) of the liquid needed in order to accomplish this task without boiling. The density and specific heat of water are respectively 1,000 kg/m3 and 4,186 J/(kg · °C), and the specific heat of brass is 380 J/(kg · °C).

The figure shows the cross section of a wall made of three layers. The thicknesses of the layers are L1, L2 =0.650 L1, and L3 = 0.350 L1. The thermal conductivities are k1, k2 = 0.900 k1, and kg = 0.600 k1. The temperatures at the left and right sides of the wall are TH = 30 °C and Tc= -20 °C, respectively. Thermal conduction is steady. (a) What is the temperature difference AT2 across layer 2 (between the left and right sides of the layer)? If k2 were, instead, equal to 1.180 kg, (b) would the rate at which energy is conducted through the wall be greater than, less than, or the same as previously, and (c) what would be the value of AT2? k1 ko k3 TH TC L1 L2 L3 (a) AT2 = i (b) (c) AT2 = i

An aluminum bar has a cross-section that is 4.31 cm by 7.32 cm and is 2.38 m long. Aluminum has a thermal conductivity of 205 W/m K. If the aluminum bar is used to bridge between ice at 0 °C and boiling water at 100 °C, what is the rate of heat transfer (in W) along the bar?
