First law of Thermodynamics

The word thermodynamics consists of two words: thermo- and dynamics. Dynamics means the study of motion. The field of thermodynamics is all about the study of the movement of heat. In a more meaningful way, it is stated as the study of the transfer of energy. Energy transfer is something that we encounter in day-to-day life. Automobiles, chemical reactions, refrigerators, and power generators work on the basis of thermodynamic principles.

A 100-g piece of copper, initially at 95.0C, is dropped into 200 g of water contained in a 280-g aluminum can; the water and can are initially at 15.0C. What is the final temperature of the system? (Specific heats of copper and aluminum are 0.092 and 0.215 cal/g C. respectively.) (a) 16C (b) 18C (c) 24C (d) 26C (e) none of those answers
Most automobiles have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid than may overflow when 1he engine is hot. A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 16.0L capacity when at 10.0C. What volume of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach their 95.0C operating temperature, given that the fluid’s volume coefficient of expansion is =400106/C ? Note that this coefficient is approximate, because most car radiators have operating temperatures of greater than 95.0C.
What mass of water at 25.0C must be allowed to conic to thermal equilibrium with a 1.85-kg cube of aluminum initially at 1.50 102C to lower the temperature of the aluminum to 65.0C? Assume any water turned to steam subsequently recondenses.
The Trans-Alaskan pipeline is 1 300 km long, reaching from Prudhoe Bay to the port of Valdez, and is subject to temperatures ranging from 73C to +35C. (a) How much does the steel pipeline expand due to the difference in temperature? (b) How can one compensate for this expansion?
There are two important isotopes of uranium, U235 and U238 ; these isotopes are nearly identical chemically but have different atomic masses. Only U235 is very useful in nuclear reactors. Separating the isotopes is called uranium enrichment (and is often in the news as of this writing, because of concerns that some countries are enriching uranium with the goal of making nuclear weapons.) One of the techniques for enrichment, gas diffusion, is based on the different molecular speeds of uranium hexafluoride gas, UF6 . (a) The molar masses of U235 and U238F6 are 349.0 g/mol and 352.0 g/mol, respectively. What is the ratio of their typical speeds vrms ? (b) At what temperature would their typical speeds differ by 1.00 m/s? (c) Do your answers in this problem imply that this technique may be difficult?
Suppose a person is covered head to foot by wool clothing with average thickness of 2.00 cm and is transferring energy by conduction through the clothing at the rate of 50.0 W. What is the temperature difference across the clothing, given the surface area is 1.40 m2?
One way to cool a gas is to let it expand. When a certain gas under a pressure of 5.00 106 Ha at 25.0C is allowed to expand to 3.00 times its original volume, its final pressure is 1.07 106 Pa. (a) What is the initial temperature of the gas in Kelvin? (b) What is the final temperature of the system? (See Section 10.4.)
If the relative humidity is 90.0% on a muggy summer morning when the temperature is 20.0C, what will it be later in the day when the temperature is 30.0C, assuming the water vapor density remains constant?

According to the USDA, an average, \moderately active" college student needs to eat 2500 calories per day. These \calories" are actually kilocalories, or kcal; and, we prefer to use Joules (J) in geophysics. The conversion is 1 kcal = 4187 J. The average geothermal heat ux is 60 mW/m2. How large an area on Earth's surface releases the same amount of energy in one day as used by the average college student in a day?
