A hot steel plate with a surface area of 2.47 m2 and a constant surface temperature of 161°C is exposed to ambient air at 23°C. If the convection heat transfer coefficient is 18.2 W/m2· K, what is the rate of heat transfer (in W) from the plate to the air [round your final answer to zero decimal places]?
The basal metabolic rate is the rate at which energy is produced in the body when a person is at rest. A 75 kg (165 lb) person of height 1.75 m (5.7 ft) would have a body surface area of approximately 1.90 m2. What is the net amount of heat this person could radiate per second into a room at 19.0 °C (about 66.2 °F) if his skin's surface temperature is 30.0 °C? (At such temperatures, nearly all the heat is infrared radiation, for which the body's emissivity is 1.0, regardless of the amount of pigment.)
When you turn your hot water on in the shower, it takes a bit for the water to get warm. Some of this is because the water in the pipe is cold but some of it is because the water from the hot water heater must heat the copper plumbing pipe itself. Copper has a specific heat of 0.39R. How much energy does it take to heat 2 kilograms of copper pipe from 70°F to 130°F? Report your answer in Joules. (Hint: Note that you'll need to convert kJ to J and F to K.)
A blacksmith cools a chunk of iron initially at 650 degrees celsius by trickling water from a jug over it. The water in the jug has a temperature of 15 degrees celsius. All of the water boils away and the iron chunk cools down 120 degrees celsius. If, in total, he poured 0.90 kg of water over the iron, what is the mass of this chunk of iron?
What is the ratio of the energy required to warm 125 g of Ice (0.0 \deg C) to body temperature (37 \deg C) to warming the same amount of water through the same temperature change? Answer format is the number Eice/Ewater = (2 significant figures) Latent Heat of Fusion of Water: 335, 000 J/kg Specific Heat Capacity of Water: 4186 J/kg/\deg C
A chunk of metal with a mass of 85.0 grams and a specific heat of 759 joules per kilogram·kelvin is heated to 78.9 degrees Celsius and placed in 122 milliliters of water (c = 4186 J/kg·K) at 18.6 degrees Celsius. What is the final temperature of the metal and water? Hint: The heat lost by the metal is gained by the water, so the sum of the heats is zero.
In an insulated vessel, 239 g of ice at 0°C is added to 635 g of water at 15.0°C. (Assume the latent heat of fusion of the water is 3.33 x 10° J/kg and the specific heat is 4,186 J/kg · °C.) (a) What is the final temperature of the system? °C (b) How much ice remains when the system reaches equilibrium?
On a sunny day when the outside temperature is 34.0°C, a car parked in the sun is receiving 812 watts/m2 of incoming solar radiation (Insolation). Because the car radiates heat off of a greater surface area, the car in-turn radiates off heat at a rate of 169 watts/m². If the car is considered a perfect absorber and emitter of radiative energy, what will the equilibrium temperature inside the car be? °C
A 63 kg man had a fever of 41.45m ºC (normal body temperature is 37 ºC). Assuming that the human body is mostly water, how much heat was required to raise its temperature that much?
