A small metal cube with a thermal mass mc and an initial temperature 0 is dropped into acontainer of water that is actively maintained at a constant temperature 0w. The cubequickly comes to rest on the bottom surface of the container. The bottom surface ismaintained at a constant temperature 0 (note that this is different from 0w). Thethermal resistance between the cube and the water is Rcw while the thermal resistancebetween the bottom surface of the container and the cube is RCB. The temperature of thecube is denoted by 0c.a) Draw the system schematic indicating the assumed directions of the heat transferrates. Label all the nodes and system parameters.b) Derive the governing equation for the temperature of the cube, 0c.c) Where does to appear in the system schematic and how does it affect the governingequations?d) Calculate the steady-state temperature of the cube, css, assuming the followingsystem parameters:0o = 21°C, 0B = 6°C, 0w = 0°C, Rcw = 2°C/W, and RCB = 4°C/W

At steady-state, the temperature at different parts of the solid remains constant and independent of…

Imagine a physics lecture hall with 83 students who are settling in for a 1-hour lecture. At the start of the lecture, the temperature of the air in the room is a comfortable 70oF (21.1°C). Unfortunately, the room’s air conditioner breaks right as the lecture begins. Each student has an average power output of about 60.0 W at room temperature. Imagine the energy released by each student goes into heating just the air in the room, which has a volume of 9.50 × 102 m3 and a density of 1.20 kg/m3. Assume the volume of the air remains constant and the specific heat capacity of the air is 718 J/(kg · °C). Calculate the room’s temperature at the end of the lecture in oF (the answer may sound high (!), but in reality, a significant portion of the heat produced would be absorbed by the walls, ceiling, floors, chairs, desks, and so on, which we are neglecting).
