In an air conditioner, 12.65 MJ of heat transfer occurs from a cold environment in 1.00 h. (a) What mass of ice melting would involve the same heat transfer? (b) How many hours of operation would be equivalent to melting 900 kg ofice? (c) If ice costs 20 cents per kg, do you think the air conditioner could be operated more cheaply than by simply using ice? Describe in detail how you evaluate the relative costs.
The human body, while at rest, produces heat energy at a rate of about 100 W. How much sweat (in g) must evaporate every minute from their skin to carry away this excess energy? (Note
according to your book, the latent heat of vaporization of water at body temperature is 2.43 * 106 J/kg).
To help prevent frost damage, 4.00 kg of 0ºC water is sprayed onto a fruit tree.
(a) How much heat transfer occurs as the water freezes?
(b) How much would the temperature of the 200-kg tree decrease if this amount of heat transferred from the tree? Take the specific heat to be 3.35kJ/kg⋅ºC, and assume that no phase change occurs.
