Chapter 26, Problem 73P
A coil of current-carrying Nichrome wire is immersed in a liquid. (Nichrome is a nickel-chromium-iron alloy commonly used in heating elements.) When the potential difference across the coil is 12 V and the current through the coil is 5.2 A, the liquid evaporates at the steady rate of 21 mg/s. Calculate the heat of vaporization of the liquid (see Module 18-4).

An electric current of 5 A passing through a resistor has a measured voltage of 6 V across the resistor. The resistor is cylindrical with a diameter of 2.5 cm and length of 15 cm. The resistor has a uniform temperature of 90°C and the room air temperature is 20°C. Assuming that heat transfer by radiation is negligible, determine the heat transfer coefficient by convection.
A close analogy exists between the flow of energy by heat
because of a temperature difference (see Section 19.6) and
the flow of electric charge because of a potential difference.
In a metal, energy dQ and electrical charge dq are both
transported by free electrons. Consequently, a good electri-
cal conductor is usually a good thermal conductor as well.
Consider a thin conducting slab of thickness dx, area A,
and electrical conductivity ơ, with a potential difference dV
between opposite faces. (a) Show that the current I = dq/dt

In the analogous thermal conduction equation on the right
(Eq. 19.17), the rate dQ/dt of energy flow by heat (in SI units
of joules per second) is due to a temperature gradient

A Cu wire of diameter of 2 mm and length of 1 m initially at room temperature of 300 K is applied a constant voltage difference of 100 V for 1000 seconds. The temperature of the wire rose due to Joule heating during the application of the voltage, so one waited for a sufficiently long time after the voltage is removed for the wire to cool back to the room temperature of 300 K. The conductivity of Cu is 6×107S/m. Please answer the following questions, assuming the surroundings is at room temperature 300 K:
(a) What is the internal energy change for the wire from the very initial state to the final state after the entire process ends?
(b) What is the internal energy change for the surroundings for the entire process?
(c) What is the amount of heat that was generated in the wire and transferred to the surroundings during the entire process?
