- Hot air is to be cooled as it is forced to flow through the tubes exposed to atmospheric air. Fins are to be added in order to enhance heat transfer. Would you recommend attaching the fins inside or outside the tubes? Why? When would you recommend attaching fins both inside and outside the tubes?arrow_forwardWrap a piece of paper around a thick metal bar and place it in a flame.

- The next four questions use this description. Our Sun has a peak emission wavelength of about 500 nm and a radius of about 700,000 km. Your dark-adapted eye has a pupil diameter of about 7 mm and can detect light intensity down to about 1.5 x 10-11 W/m2. Assume the emissivity of the Sun is equal to 1. First, given these numbers, what is the surface temperature of the Sun in Kelvin to 3 significant digits? What is the power output of the Sun in moles of watts? (in other words, take the number of watts and divide it by Avogadro's number) Assuming that all of the Sun's power is given off as 500 nm photons*, how many photons are given off by the Sun every second? Report your answer to the nearest power of 10 (e.g. if you got 7 x 1024, give your answer as 25).arrow_forwardAn incandescent lightbulb is only about 5% efficient at converting electrical energy to radiant energy.

- When a metal is heated, its atoms vibrate more about their position in the lattice (a network of crossed bars). This causes them to take up more space, so the solid metal expands from its original shape.

The shaft is measured at a temperature 20 degrees carrow_forwardCalculate the heat that must be supplied to raise the temperature of 2 kg of water from 25∘25∘C to its boiling point at atmospheric pressure.The average specific heat of water in the range 25−100∘C25-100∘C is 4.184 J K−1g−1K-1g-1.(b)How long will a 2 kW heater take to supply this energy?arrow_forwardAir at 22°C is blown over a hot pipe with a surface area of 3.19 m2 to dissipate 927 W of heat energy.

- I was hoping that you could check to make sure I’m using the correct units. For some reason I am having a hard time understanding when to use 4186 for specific heat of water or 4.186. For the latent heat of fusion, I have it in kg•cal degrees C. In my book it has it in J/kg. Since the book says it is 3.33 X 10^5, how do I get my answer to show in those terms? Thank you!arrow_forwardThe specific heat of water is quite large. Explain why thisfact makes water particularly good for heating systems(that is, hot-water radiators).arrow_forwardConsider a hot boiled egg in a spacecraft that is filled with air at atmospheric pressure and temperature at all times.
