Chapter 17, Problem 65P
A solar-heated house stores energy in 5.0 tons of Glauber salt (Na2SO4·10H2O), which melts at 90°F. The heat of fusion of Glauber salt is 104 Btu/lb and the specific heats of the solid and liquid are, respectively, 0.46 Btu/lb·°F and 0.68 Btu/lb·°F. After a week of sunny weather, the storage medium is all liquid at 95°F. Then comes a cloudy period during which the house loses heat at an average of 20.000 Btu/h. (a) How long is it before the temperature of the storage medium drops below 60°F? (b) How much of this time is spent at 90°F?

Enter an expression for the final equilibrium temperature of the mixture in terms of the defined quantities. Hints : Heat problems involving phase changes generally need to be dealt with step by step, taking into account that when there is no temperature difference, there will be no heat transfer. In the present case, the first step might be to consider whether the ice warms to 0°C before or after the water cools to 0°C.-In an isolated system all the heat lost by any components of the system is gained by the system’s other components.-Use the relation among heat, mass, specific heat, and temperature change.-First, the ice reaches 0°C. Then it starts melting while the warmer water continues cooling. Now consider…arrow_forward
