Conduction and Convection

When energy travels from one object to another it is said to have undergone heat transfer. Heat transfer is nothing but the transfer of thermal energy or internal energy from one thing to another, like e.g., when a vessel with water, kept on top of a burner, heats up because of the flame underneath it.

Question

An undersea camera (Figure 5.36) is to hang from a float in the ocean, allowing it to take constant video of undersea life.
The camera is relatively heavy; it weighs 40 pounds and has a volume of only 0.3 ft3. It is to hang 2 ft below the float on a
pair of wires, allowing it take video at this constant depth. The float will be cylindrical, have a specific gravity, sg = 0.15,
have a thickness of 6 in. What is the minimum diameter of the float? Note that for the minimum float, the waterline will be
coincident with the top of the float. If the float is made of a larger diameter, what will happen? If the float is made of a
smaller diameter, what would happen?

A balloon is surrounded by a tank of liquid at negative pressure and is con- nected to the atmosphere by a tube of length L and cross-sectional area A (Fig. 7.25). The pressure inside the balloon p oscillates above and below atmospheric pressure causing small changes in the balloon volume V. The elasticity of the balloon is characterized by its compliance C, defined by Ap = AV/C (a) Derive a second-order differential equation for AV(t), assuming that (i) the pressure differential along the tube accelerates the air in the tube and is not used to overcome entrance, exit, or tube losses; and (ii) the air density p is constant. From the equation, show that the natural frequency of the system is JA/pLC.

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps and partly due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length, Ah (in mm), of a column of water 1.5 km high for a temperature increase of 1.2 °C.Assume the column is not free to expand sideways. As a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to the surface can expand sideways onto land, and only to a limited degree. As another approximation, neglect the fact that ocean warming is not uniform with depth. Properties of water: 3 = 210 x 10 /C. c= 4186 J/kg - °C, L; = 334 kJ/kg, Le = 2256 kJ/kg Enter you answer below (to the nearest mm): Ah (in mm) = Type your answer.
