In determining the average rate of heating of a tank of 20% sugar syrup, thetemperature at the beginning was 20°C and it took 30 min to heat to 80°C. Thevolume of the sugar syrup was 50 ft3 and its density 66.9 lb/ft3. The specific heat ofthe sugar syrup is 0.9 Btu lb-1°F-1.(a) Convert the specific heat to kJ kg-1°C-1.(b) Determine the rate of heating, that is the heat energy transferred in unit time, in SI units (kJ s-1)

- In a certain industrial process, it is known that the temperature of one of its stages varies between 10°C and 50°C. The measuring instrument used to measure this temperature has its measurement range from -50°C to 50°C, with a dead zone of 1%. In view of the above, it is stated that the measuring instrument (A) will not show temperature variations lower than or equal to 0.5 °C. (B) will not show temperature variations lower than or equal to 1 °C. (C) is not suitable for the measurement for which it is used, since it may present distortions in the measurement of the temperature if it is between 49 C and 50 C.

- Newton's Law of Cooling - Differential Equations The rate at which a body cools is proportional to the difference in temperature between the body and its surroundings. If a body in air at 0°C will cool from 200°C to 100°C in 40 minutes, how many more minutes will it take the body to cool from 100°C to 50°C?arrow_forwardIt is commonly recommended that hot foods be cooled first to room temperature by simply waiting a while before they are put into the refrigerator to save energy. Despite this common sense recommendation, a person keeps cooking a large pan of stew twice a week and putting the pan into the refrigerator while it is still hot, thinking that the money saved is probably too little. The average mass of the pan and its contents is 5-kg. The average temperature of the kitchen is 20°C, and the average temperature of the food is 95°C when it is taken off the stove. The refrigerated space is maintained at 3°C, and the average specific heat of the food and the pan can be taken to be 3.9 kJ/kg-K. If the refrigerator has a coefficient of performance of 1.2 and the cost of electricity is Php 21.59 per kW-hr.
