Careful measurements show that the specific heat of the solid phase depends on temperature (Fig. P17.117). How will the actual time needed for this cryoprotectant to come to equilibrium with the cold plate compare with the time predicted by using the values in the table? Assume that all values other than the specific heat (solid) are correct. The actual time (a) will be shorter; (b) will be longer; (c) will be the same; (d) depends on the density of the cryoprotectant.

- (a) What is the rate of heat conduction through the 3.00-cm-thick fur of a large animal having a I .40-m surface area? Assume that the animal's skin temperature is 32.0 , that the air temperature is 5.00 , and that has the same thermal conductivity as air. (b) What food intake will the animal need in one day to replace this heat transfer?arrow_forwardAn aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 3(H) K. (a) If one-halt of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool, (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K. what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 YV/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)arrow_forwardA hollow aluminum cylinder 20.0 cm deep has an internal capacity of 2.000 L at 20.0C. It is completely filled with turpentine at 20.0C. The turpentine and the aluminum cylinder are then slowly warmed together to 80.0C. (a) How much turpentine overflows? (b) What is the volume of the turpentine remaining in the cylinder at 80.0C? (c) If the combination with this amount of turpentine is then cooled back to 20.0C, how far below the cylinders rim does the turpentines surface recede?arrow_forward
- The structure of a house is such that it loses heat at a rate of 4500 kJ/h per 'C difference between the indoors and outdoors. A heat pump that requires a power input of 4.5 kW is used to maintain this house at 24°C. Determine the lowest outdoor temperature for which the heat pump can meet the heating requirements of this house.

If the mass of the washer is 0.037g, the molar mass of aluminum is 26.98g/mol, and the molar specific heat of aluminum is 24.3J/mol-K, what is the change in the internal energy of the washer?arrow_forward
- Suppose you are trying to choose between two winter jackets. Suppose also that you have a heat-producing mannequin available for your use and you are able to adjust the mannequin’s rate of heat production. According to the equation: M = (1/I)(TB-TA) described in chapter 10, insulation is equal to (TB – TA)/M (this is in fact a general equation for insulation). How would you make a quantitative comparison of the insulation provided by the two jackets?arrow_forwardA certain car has 14 L of coolant circulating at a temperature of 95 degrees Celsius through the engine’s cooling system. Assume that, in this normal condition, the coolant completely fills the 3.5 L volume of the aluminum radiator and the 10.5 L internal cavities within the aluminum engine. When a car overheats, the radiator, engine, and coolant expand and a small reservoir connected to the radiator catches any resultant coolant overflow. Estimate how much coolant overflows to the reservoir if the system goes from 95 degrees Celsius to 106 degrees Celsius. Model the radiator and engine as hollow shells of aluminum. The coefficient of volume expansion for coolant is 410x10^-6 degrees Celsiusarrow_forwardThe control system of the steam-jacketed kettle is shown in the figure. The system consists of a kettle through which water flows at a variable rate w (k9/s). The entering water is at temperature T; ("C), which may vary with time. The kettle water, which is well agitated, is heated by steam condensing in the jacket at temperature T, and pressure P, . The temperature of the water in the kettle is measured and transmitted to the controller. The output signal from the controller is used to change the stem position of the valve, which adjusts the flow of steam to the jacket w. |Computer/Controller The following assumptions are made for the kettle: • The hold-up volume of water in the kettle is constant. The thermal capacity of the kettle wall, which separates steam from water, is negligible compared with that of the Temperature-measuring element Water water in the kettle. The heat capacities of water cpw (K/kg°C) and the metal wall Cp,methal (K/kg°c) are constant. The density of water is…arrow_forward
