*95.Even at rest, the human body generates heat. The heat arisesbecause of the body's metabolism-that is, the chemical reac-tions that are always occurring in the body to generate energy. In roomsdesigned for use by large groups, adequate ventilation or air conditioningmust be provided to remove this heat. Consider a classroom containing200 students. Assume that the metabolic rate of generating heat is 130 Wfor each student and that the heat accumulates during a fifty-minute lec-ture. In addition, assume that the air has a molar specific heat of Cy = Rand that the room (volume = 1200 m², initial pressure = 1.01 × 10° Pa,and initial temperature = 21 °C) is sealed shut. If all the heat generatedby the students were absorbed by the air, by how much would the airtemperature rise during a lecture?

Given: The initial temperature of the room is 21° C. The heat generated by the body is 130 W. The…

Many thermodynamic processes occur naturally in one specific direction but not in the opposite direction. For instance, cooling a closed environment on a very hot day requires electrical energy to be carried out, as in the case of an air conditioner. Why is that? Another example: it's easy to fully convert mechanical energy into heat, which happens every time we use the brakes to stop a car. However, in the opposite direction, there are many devices that only partially convert heat into mechanical energy, like the engine of a car. But even the most talented inventor has yet to build a machine capable of fully converting an amount of heat into mechanical energy. Once again, why? The answer to these two questions is related to the directions of thermodynamic processes and is provided by the second law of thermodynamics. With regard to various concepts related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, analyze the following statements: Thermal machines are devices used to convert mechanical…

The urban heat island effect is often strongest at night when temperatures would typically drop. What does this indicate about energy transfer and the material used in the building? (a) The material in buildings releases more energy at night than it absorbs during the day (b) The material in buildings absorbs a lot of energy during the day and when it gets colder at night the energy is released back into the cooler air. (c) The material in buildings absorbs energy during the day and releases it because the temperature of the buildings is lower than the cooler air (d) The material in buildings releases a lot of energy into the hot air during the day so at night all of the energy is still there

The surface waters of tropical oceans are at a temperature of 27°C while water at a depth of 1200 m is at 3°C. It has been suggested these warm and cold waters could be the energy reservoirs for a heat engine, allowing us to do work or generate electricity from the thermal energy of the ocean. What is the maximum efficiency possible of such a heat engine?
After eating a 200 g pottle of yoghurt, a person decides to go for a run to burn off the extra energy. The yoghurt provides 5.4 MJ kg−1, and he is able to raise his metabolic rate to 220W while running. How long does he have to run?
