How much kerosene has to enter the degreasing vat per day? There are about 3 lb of grease per 100 lb of machine parts, and 60 tons of machine parts are processed each day. Five thousand pounds of kerosene (the 10% solution) are carried away by the machine parts each day but drip off and are caught and put back in the degreasing vat. Two hundred pounds of the 10% solution are lost each day from the vat by evaporation, spillage, or by being carried away.arrow_forwardK). average NUSseit Number. 2. A slab of iron with temperature, T1=48 deg C is used to heat a flat glass plate that has an initial temperature of Tg1=18 deg C. Assuming no heat is lost to the environment, and the masses are m;=0.49 kg for the slab and mg=310g for the plate, what is the amount of heat transferred when the two have reached equal temperature? Assume C;=0.11 kcal/kg-deg C for iron and cg=0.20 kcal/kg-deg C for glass.arrow_forwardA metal spoon and a wooden spoon are left overnight in a room. Why do we feel colder when we touch the metal spoon than when we touch the wooden one? a. Since metals usually have a lower heat capacity than non-metals, the metal spoon loose more heat to the room and consequently has a lower temperature b. Metals release heat faster than non-metals because of their higher thermal conductivity c. This is merely psychological since we are conditioned to think of metals as “cold” d. Metals absorb heat faster than non-metals because of their higher thermal conductivityarrow_forward

The air temperature is measured with a thermometer that is not affected by the wind. However, the rate of heat loss from the skier increases with wind velocity, and the wind-chill temperature is the temperature that would result in the same rate of heat loss in still air as occurs at the measured air temperature with the existing wind. Suppose that the inner temperature of a 3-mm-thick layer of skin with a thermal conductivity of 0.35W/mKis35C and the air temperature is 20C. Under calm ambient conditions the heat transfer coefficient at the outer skin surface is about 20W/m2K (see Table 1.4), but in a 40-mph wind it increases to 75W/m2K. If frostbite occurs when the skin temperature drops to about 10C, do you advise the skier to wear a face mask? What is the skin temperature drop due to the wind?arrow_forwardThe force-velocity relationship states that for concentric contractions: Group of answer choices the slower a muscle contracts the more force it can produce the faster a muscle contracts the more force it can produce the faster a muscle contracts the greater power it can produce force production depends on the velocity of neural conductionarrow_forward
