Chapter 12, Problem 22CQ
If you bake a cake at high elevation, where atmospheric pressure is lower than at sea level, you will need to adjust the recipe. You will need to cook the cake for a longer time, and you will need to add less baking powder. (Baking powder is a leavening agent. As it heats, it releases gas bubbles that cause the cake to rise.) Explain why those adjustments are necessary.

The prevailing winds on the Hawaiian island of Kauai blow from the northeast. The winds cool as they go up the slope of Mt. Waialeale (elevation 1523 m), causing water vapor to condense and rain to fall. There is much more precipitation at the summit than at the base of the mountain. In fact, Mt. Waialeale is the rainiest spot on earth, averaging 11.7 m of rainfall a year. But what makes the winds cool?
You read in a popular diet blog that the author claims you can lose up to half a pound of body fat per week if, instead of drinking 1.9 liters (i.e., 1.9 kilograms) of water every day, you can eat the same amount of water in the form of ice. The reasoning is that your body must first melt the ice and then bring the ice water up to the body temperature of 37°C, which is a process that requires a significant amount of energy at the expense of “burned” body fat. Thankfully, you just finished discussing heat and phase changes in your physics class, so you can calculate exactly how much energy is expended. The specific heat and latent heat of fusion for water are 4.186 × 103 J/(kg⋅°C) and 3.34×105 J/kg, respectively
a) How many kilocalories do you expend when you eat 1.9 kg of ice at 0°C? Note that 1 kcal = 4186 J.
b) Assuming the metabolism of one pound of body fat produces 3500 kcal of energy, how many pounds of body fat could you lose in a week just by eating 1.9 kilograms of ice every…
Suppose you start your day in Denver, on a cool 10°C spring day. The local atmospheric pressure is 85 kPa. You fill your car’s tires until the gauge shows 210 kPa (about 30 psi). You then drive up to Fairplay, Colorado, where the atmospheric pressure is lower—70 kPa—and the temperature drops to 0°C.When you finish lunch, you check your tire pressure. What does the gauge read?

- During a plant visit, it was noticed that a 12-m-long section of a 10-cm-diameter steam pipe is completely exposed to the ambient air. The temperature measurements indicate that the average temperature of the outer surface of the steam pipe is 75°C when the ambient temperature is 5°C. There are also light winds in the area at 10 km/h. The emissivity of the outer surface of the pipe is 0.8, and the average temperature of the surfaces surrounding the pipe, including the sky, is estimated to be 0°C. Determine the amount of heat lost from the steam during a 10-h-long work day. Steam is supplied by a gas-fired steam generator that has an efficiency of 80 percent, and the plant pays $1.05/therm of natural gas. If the pipe is insulated and 90 percent of the heat loss is saved, determine the amount of money this facility will save a year as a result of insulating the steam pipes. Assume the plant operates every day of the year for 10 h. State your assumptions.arrow_forwardIf you launch a projectile upward with a high enough speed, its kinetic energy is sufficient to allow it to escape the earth’s gravity— it will go up and not come back down. Given enough time, hydrogen and helium gas atoms in the earth’s atmosphere will escape, so these elements are not present in our atmosphere. Explain why hydrogen and helium atoms have the necessary speed to escape but why other elements, such as oxygen and nitrogen, do not.arrow_forwardWhen energy shortages occur, magazine articles sometimes urge us to keep our homes at a constant temperature day and night to conserve fuel. They argue that when we turn down the heat at night, the walls, ceilings, and other areas cool off and must be reheated in the morning. So if we keep the temperature constant, these parts of the house will not cool off and will not have to be reheated. Does this argument make sense? Would we really save energy by following this advice?arrow_forward
