MECHANICAL EQUIVALENT TO HEAT LAB
Background
Mechanical energy can be converted into heat, and heat can be converted into mechanical
energy. This relationship is known as the mechanical equivalent to heat and it is an important
concept fundamental to thermodynamics which applies ideas related to heat and work to create
useful systems (i.e. power plants, engines, refrigerators …). The mechanical equivalent to heat
phenomena was first tested by James Joule in 1843. In his experiment, he used the change in
potential energy of a falling mass to stir water. As the water was stirred, the temperature of the
water increased just like it was placed over a flame. This proved that the work done on a system
(the falling mass) can be equated to an increase in water temperature (heat energy).
Purposes
•
To determine the correlation between the height the mass falls and the change in
temperature of the water.
•
To determine the correlation between the mass that falls and the change in temperature
of the water.
•
To determine the specific heat of the water in the container.
Materials
•
You will be running a simulation of the same kind of lab setup that James Joules used in
the 19th century. This simulation can be found here
. Part 1: Changing Height
In this part of the lab, you are going to change the height of the falling mass and record the corresponding temperature change of the water. •
Record the initial temperature of the water: 14.40 C
•
Select a value for the mass. To change the mass value, click on the mass. Record the value of the mass below.
320 kg
•
To change the height of the falling mass, click on the pulley. Start with the highest height
and work your way to the lowest height. Be sure to measure height from the bottom of the mass. Click START to drop the mass and record the final temperature of the water. Click RESET to restart the simulation. Calculate the change in temperature of the water.

To determine whether or not there is a correlation between the height the mass falls and
the change in temperature
, you are going to plot the data and perform a simple linear regression (i.e. draw a line through the data). Use the following resource to plot the data in this lab: Quick Graphing Program 5.0
. Plot
height as the horizontal variable
(the first data column) and change in temperature as the vertical variable
(the second data column). Make sure to label each column. The program will automatically plot the points. After all points are plotted, select LINEAR
from the GRAPH TYPE options. Include a screen capture of your completed graph here.
•
Record the correlation value calculated by the program.

In the space below, make a statement regarding the relationship between the height of the falling mass and the change in water temperature.
The higher the object the more the water spins, in other words, The higher the object the hotter the water gets.
Part 2: Changing Mass
In this part of the lab, you are going to change the value of the falling mass and record the corresponding temperature change of the water. •
Record the initial temperature of the water: 14.4
•
To change the value of the mass, just click on the mass. There are six different mass values. Start with the lowest mass value and work your way up. Drop each mass, record
the final temperature of the water, then calculate the change in temperature of the water.

Part 3: The Specific Heat of Water
When James Joules performed this experiment in the 19th century, he was primarily trying to determine the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a specific amount of water. Today, we refer to this quantity as the specific heat for a material. Using data from part 2 of this lab, you are going to experimentally determine the specific heat of water. •
Transfer the mass and change in temperature values from your part 2 table to the table below.
•
Determine the work done by each mass in part 2 and record in the table below. The work done is equal to the potential energy that the mass contained prior to falling. W = PE = mgh The height that each mass falls in part 2 is 3.9 m, while g (the acceleration due to gravity) has a value of . •
Recall that energy is conserved. As such, the work done on the system will equal the heat gained by the system.
Solving for the specific heat (c), we get ...
Use this equation to calculate the specific heat of the water for each trail in part 2. Take note that if
the
beaker contains 296 ml of water, it will also be
296 g of water. Mass of water (m

A solid steel cube is stored in a freezer, where the temperature is −20.0 ̊C. While the cube is in the freezer, you measure its side length (L) to be 1.75050 meters. The cube is then placed outside for a long time, so that the temperature of the cube reaches the temperature of the air outside. As a result, the side length increases to 1.75170 meters due to thermal expansion. The coefficient of linear expansion for steel is 12.0×10−6 ̊C−1.

Your house has an electric water heater. Several friends are visiting you over the weekend and they are taking consecutive showers. Assume that at the maximum heating level, the heater uses 50 kW of electricity. The water use rate is a continuous 4 gallons per minute with the new water saving showerhead you recently installed. Your very old showerhead had used 7 gallons per minute. You replaced the showerhead because you learned that heating water was the second highest energy use in your home. By slowing the flow of water through the heater, the water temperature should increase to a higher temperature. (a) What is the change in temperature (T) for the old showerhead? (b) What is the change in temperature (T) for the new showerhead? Assume the system is at steady sate, and all of the 50 kW energy used is heating the water.

Heat Transfer question
In order to cool down a hot steel sphere (its diameter is 5 cm), CO2 gas is blown over it through a pipe with a diameter of 10 cm. The CO2 gas is kept at atmospheric pressure while moving through a smooth pipe at a speed of 6 m/sec. The gas temperature entering the pipe is 300K and exiting the pipe is 340 K. The pipe temperature at the entrance is 350K and at the exit is 550K. The sphere is located just about the pipe exit.
Find the convective heat transfer coefficient of the gas moving in the pipe, the heat transfer rate at the pipe and the pipe length. What is the surface temperature of the sphere if the heat transfer rate between the sphere and the gas is 7W and its surface temperature is higher than the gas?
