23) A carpenter is driving a 15.0-g steel nail into a board. His 1.00-kg hammer is moving at 8.50 m/s when it strikes the nail. Half of the kinetic energy of the hammer is transformed into heat in the nail and does not flow out of the nail. What is the increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows that the carpenter needs to drive the nail in completely? The specific heat of steel is 448J/kg.K. A) 2.7 K B) 7.7 K C) 3.6 K D) 1.8 K E) 8.1 K

4) A ground source heat pump heats a building by extracting heat from the ground and pumping it into the building. Define: Qc = heat extracted from the ground, Qn= heat pumped into the building, W = electric energy used by the heat pump, Tc= temperature of the ground, T = temperature of building (Qc, Qn, and W are positive by definition). Assume Tr > Tc. a) Draw a diagram showing energy flow in and out of the heat pump. b) Write a general expression for the change AS in the entropy of the "universe", that is the heat pump plus the cold and hot reservoirs, in terms of the quantities defined above. Now assume ideal (reversible) operation, and take Te= 10 °C and Tp= 20 °C. What is the coefficient of performance (ČOP) of the heat pump? By what factor would this change if we had Tc = 0 °C instead?
A student drops two metallic objects into a 120-g steel container holding 150 g of water at 25°C. One object is a 206-g cube of copper that is initially at 83°C, and the other is a chunk of aluminum that is initially at 5.0°C. To the surprise of the student, the water reaches a final temperature of 25°C, precisely where it started. What is the mass of the aluminum chunk? kg eBook
A certain mass, m, of water has thermal energy added to it until the water is at the boiling point. Additional thermal energy is added until the entire mass, m, has been phased changed into steam. a) The temperature of the steam will be less than that of the water at the boiling point. b) The temperature of the steam will be greater than that of the water at the boiling point. c) The temperature of the steam will be the same as that of the water at the boiling point. d) The temperature of the steam will be zero. e) The temperature of the steam will be 2256000K.
51. The Kilauea volcano in Hawaii is the world's most active, disgorging about 5 × 10° m³ of 1200°C lava per day. What is the rate of heat transfer out of Earth by convection if this lava has a density of 2700 kg/m³ and eventually cools to 30°C? Assume that the specific heat of lava is the same as that of granite.

5 In order to determine the heat capacity of their latest phone, CrabappleTM engineers cool the phone in the freezer to -31.7ºC. They then drop it into a calorimeter with some water in it that is at a temperature of 50.8ºC. The calorimeter (including the water) has a total heat capacity of 869.42 J/ºC. After a few minutes the temperature of the calorimeter is stabilized to 31ºC. What is the heat capacity of the phone? Enter your answer with at least 3 sig figs assuming units of J/ºC.
A 60.0-kg runner expends 359 W of power while running a marathon. Assuming 12.5% of the energy is delivered to the muscle tissue and that the excess energy is removed from the body by sweating, determine the volume of bodily fluid (assume it is water) lost per hour. (At 37.0°C the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.41 ✕ 106 J/kg.) cm3
The heat flux in an aluminum pan containing boiling water is 5 × 10^5 W/m2. The temperature of the surface of the pan in contact with boiling water is 119 °C. a) Determine the temperature gradient in the pan on this surface. b) Determine an equation for calculating the temperature of the surface that is not in contact with water as a function of the thickness of the pan. c) What will be the temperature on the surface that is not in contact with water if the thickness of the pan is 1.2 mm? What if it's 4.0 mm? d) Evaluating the results obtained in questions "a", "b" and "c", how does the thickness of the pan influence the temperature gradient?
