Chapter 17, Problem 67AP
An x-ray tube used for cancer therapy operates at 4.0 MV, with a beam current of 25 mA striking the metal target. Nearly all the power in the beam is transferred to a stream of water flowing through holes drilled in the target. What rate of flow, in kilograms per second, is needed if the rise in temperature (ΔT) of the water is not to exceed 50.°C?

In an experiment to measure the heat released by the combustion of a sample of nutrient, the compound was burned in a calorimeter and the temperature rose by 3 .22 ° C (the same as 3.22 K, because degrees Celsius are the same size as kel vins). When a current of 1.23 A from a 12.0 V sourceflows through a heater in the same calorimeter for 156 s, the temperature rose by 4.47 °c (which can be interpreted as 4.47 K). What is the heat output of the combustion reaction?
