Some electric sieves have a flat ceramic surface with heating elements hidden beneath. A pot placed over a heating element will be heated, while it is safe to touch the surface only a few centimeters away. Why is ceramic, with a conductivity less than that of a metal but greater than that of a good insulator, an ideal choice for the stove top?
Engineering Application A device called an insolation meter is used to measure the intensity of sunlight has an area of 100 cm2 and registers 6.50 w. What is the intensity in W/m2 ?
Rub the palm of your hand on a metal surface for about 30 seconds. Place the palm of your other hand on an un-rubbed portion of the surface and then on the rubbed portion. The rubbed portion will feel warmer. Now repeat this process on a wood surface. Why does the temperature difference between the rubbed and unrubbed portions of the wood surface seem larger than for the metal surface?

In the chapter on fluid mechanics, Bernoulli's equation for the flow of incompressible fluids was explained in terms of changes affecting a small volume dV of fluid. Such volumes are a fundamental idea in the study of the flow of compressible fluids such as gases as well. For the equations of hydrodynamics to apply, the mean free path must be much less than the linear size of such a volume, adV1/3 . For air in the stratosphere at a temperature of 220 K and a pressure of 5.8 kPa, how big should a be for it to be 100 times the mean free path? Take the effective radius of air molecules to be 1.881011 m, which is roughly correct for N2.
(a) Cherry-red embers in a fireplace are at 850C and have an exposed area of 0.200m2 and an emissivity of 0.980. The surrounding room has a temperature of 18.0C. If 50% of the radiant energy enters the room, what is the net rate of radiant heat transfer in kilowatts? (b) Does your answer support the contention that most of the heat transfer into a room by a fireplace comes from infrared radiation?
Does it really help to run hot water over a tight metal lid on a glass jar before flying to open it? Explain your answer.
A large body of lava from a volcano has stopped flowing and is slowly cooling. The interior of the lava is at 1200C, its surface is at 450C, and the surroundings are at 27.0C. (a) Calculate the rate at which energy is transferred by radiation from 1.00m2 of surface lava into the surroundings, assuming the emissivity is 1.00. (b) Suppose heat conduction to the surface occurs at the same rate. What is the thickness of the lava between the 450C surface and the 1200C interior, assuming that the lava’s conductivity is the same as that of brick?
Integrated Concepts (a) Calculate the rate in watts at which heat transfer through radiation occurs (almost entirely in the infrared] from 1.0 m2of the Earth’s surface at night. Assume the emissivity is 0.90, the temperature of the Earth is 15°C, and that of outer space is 2.7 K. (b) Compare the intensity at this radiation with that coming to the Earth from the Sun during the day, which averages about 800 W/m2, only hall of which is absorbed. (c) What is the maximum magnetic field strength in the outgoing radiation, assuming it is a continuous wave?
You are working in a factory that produces long bars of copper with a square cross section. In one section of the production process, the bars must slide down a plane inclined at an angle = 21.0 to the horizontal. It has been found that the bars travel with too high a speed and become dented or bent when they arrive at the bottom of the plane and must be discarded. In order to prevent this waste, you devise a way to deliver the bars at the bottom of the plane at a lower speed. You replace the inclined plane with a pair of parallel metal rails, shown in Figure P30.19, separated by a distance = 2.00 m. The smooth bars of mass m = 1.00 kg will slide down the smooth rails, with the length of the bar always perpendicular to the rails. The rails are immersed in a magnetic field of magnitude B, and a resistor of resistance R = 1.00 is connected between the upper ends of the rails. Determine the magnetic field necessary in your device so that the bars will arrive at the bottom of the plane with a maximum speed v = 1.00 m/s. Figure P30.19 Problems 19 and 20.
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 of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00 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 wan-ling is not uniform with depth.
(a) A shirtless rider under a circus tent feels the heat radiating from the sunlit portion of the tent. Calculate the temperature of the tent canvas based on the following information: The shirtless rider’s skin temperature is 34.0C and has an emissivity of 0.970. The exposed area of skin is 0.400m2. He receives radiation at the rate of 20.0 W—half what you would calculate if the entire region behind him was hot. The rest of the surroundings are at 34.0C. (b) Discuss how this situation would change if the sun lit side of the tent was nearly pure white and if the rider was covered by a white tunic.
