When you jog, most of the food energy you burn above your basal metabolic rate (BMR) ends up as internal energy that would raise your body temperature if it were not eliminated. The evaporation of perspiration is the primary mechanism for eliminating this energy. Determine the amount of water you lose to evaporation when running for 58 minutes at a rate that uses 400 kcal/h above your BMR. (That amount is often considered to be the "maximum fat-burning" energy output. The latent heat of vaporization of water at room temperature is 2.5 106 J/kg.)

- You wish to buy a new freezer for your basement. The primary use of the freezer will be to prepare ice for family parties. You have a very large family, with grandparents, parents, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, nieces, and grandchildren. As a result, family birthday parties are held every couple of weeks, and you need lots of ice for drinks. You want the freezer to convert 10.6 kg of water at 23.0°C to 10.6 kg of ice at −9.2°C in 2.00 h. But, in order to keep your electric bill down, you want the power rating of the freezer to stay below 100 W. From these requirements, you determine the minimum COP of the freezer that will satisfy your needs. (Consider that the specific heat of water is 4,186 J/(kg · °C), the specific heat of ice is 2,090 J/(kg · °C), the latent heat of fusion of water is 3.33 ✕ 105 J/kg, and the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.26 ✕ 106 J/kg.)arrow_forwardA weather balloon contains 12.0 m³ of hydrogen gas when the balloon is released from a location at which the temperature is 30.0°C and the pressure is 80.0 kPa. The balloon rises to a location where the temperature is -10.0°C and the pressure is 20.0 kPa. If the balloon is free to expand so that the pressure of the gas inside is equal to the ambient pressure, what is the new volume of the balloon? Assume that in both cases the hydrogen gas is in thermal equilibrium with the outside air. O 14.0 m³ 4.16 m³ 16.0 m³ 41.7 m³ 2.38 m³arrow_forwardYou wish to buy a new freezer for your basement.

- The oil in an automobile is used to lubricate internal engine parts and keep these parts clean. Oil can be subjected to temperature differences as high as AT = 303 °F, especially when it is near the combustion chamber. Derive an expression to convert this difference into degrees Celsius, and use that expression to find the value of AT in degrees Celsius. ATC = °Carrow_forwardA fruit juice at 30°C with 5% total solids is being concentrated in a single-effect evaporator. The evaporator is being operated at a sufficient vacuum to allow the product moisture to evaporate at 80°C, and steam with 85% quality is being supplied at 169.06 kPa. The desired concentration of the final product is 40% total solids. The concentrated product exits the evaporator at a rate of 2500kg/h. Calculate the (a) steam requirements and (b) steam economy for the process, when condensate is released at 90°C. The specific heat of liquid feed is 4.05kJ/(kg°C), and of concentrated product is 3.175kJ/(kg°C).arrow_forwardA gas chamber is to be designed to separate two gases with the following specifications: Hot gas temperature 1145°C Cold gas temperature 45°C Hot gas heat transfer coefficient 230 W/m² K Cold gas heat transfer coefficient 290 W/m² K Metal wall thermal conductivity 115 W/m K If the maximum temperature of the wall on the hot side does not exceed 545°C, using thermal resistance concept, what thickness should the metal wall between the hot gas and cold gas be in mm?arrow_forward
- 0.52 mol of argon gas is admitted to an evacuated 3.00 liter (3.00 × 10-3 m3) container at 20.0°C. The gas then undergoes an isobaric process to a temperature of 260°C. What is the final volume of the gas, in liters? Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive.
