Answer to Problem 1P

The final temperature of water is 20.23°C¯.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The mass of one cubic meter water m is 1,000kg.

The vertical height h is 100m.

The initial temperature T0 is 20°C

Calculation:

Take the gravitational constant g as 9.8m/s2.

Find the potential energy at the height h E as follows:

E=mgh=1,000kg×9.8m/s2×100m=98×104J

Take the specific heat of water C as 4,186J/kg°C.

Calculate the change in temperature ΔT as follows:

ΔT=EmC=98×104J1,000kg×4,186J/kg°C=0.23°C

Find the final temperature of water T as follows:

T=T0+ΔT=20°C+0.23°C=20.23°C

Therefore, the final temperature of water is 20.23°C¯.

We have exposed 1 kg of water, 1 kg of brick, and 1 kg of concrete each to a heat source that puts out 100 J every second. Assuming that all of the supplied energy goes to each material and they were all initially at the same temperature, which one of these materials will have a greater temperature rise after 10 s? We can answer this question using Equation as shown . We will first look up the values of the specific heat for water, brick, and concrete, which are cwater = 4180 J⁄kg K, cbrick = 960 J⁄kg K and cconcrete = 880 J⁄kg K . Now applying as shown , Ethermal = mc(Tfinal Tinitial) to each situation, it should be clear that although each material has the same amount of mass and is exposed to the same amount of thermal energy, the concrete will experience a higher temperature rise because it has the lowest heat capacity value among the three given materials.
Carbon dioxide at 30 °C and 325 kPa absolute pressure expands isothermally to an absolute pressure of 100 kPa. Determine the final density of the gas. kg/m³
Steam enters a turbine at 30 bar, 300°C (u = 2750 kJ/kg, h = 2993 kJ/kg) and exits the condenser as saturated liquid at 15 kPa (u = 225 kJ/kg. h = 226 kJ/kg). Heat loss to the surrounding is 50kJ/kg of steam flowing through the turbine. Neglecting changes in kinetic energy and potential energy, the work output of the turbine (in kJ/kg of steam) is
