Work and Heat Transfer

It is generally related to thermal engineering which tells about the use, creation, conversion and transfer of heat energy between the systems. It is also considered that to transfer heat from one source to another, transfer of masses is also required. There are various mechanisms by which, transfer of heat takes place i.e. thermal conduction, convection, radiation or by change of phase. All these mechanisms have their own specific features which sometimes occur simultaneously within the same system.

It is a hot day in Atlanta and you and your friends bought an ice cream maker. The unit consists of a bowl and a base that rotates the bowl around a stationary mixing paddle. The walls of the bowl contain an unknown mixture that absorbs heat from the ice cream. The bowl must be frozen (-20°C) before use. Unfortunately, your friends have lost the instructions and can't remember how long to operate the unit. You tell them not to worry since you have mastered energy conservation problems and can calculate the amount of time required to freeze the ice cream. Looking at the box, you find the specifications for the unit: a) Inner surface area of freezing bowl: 600 cm2; b) Heat transfer coefficient for bowl:h = 0.025 J / (cm2 s .°C); c) Power required to stir the bowl (100% efficiency):25 W; d) Amount of ice cream mixture added: 1 kg; e) The rate of heat transfer is between the bowl and the milk. You know that solutes lower the freezing point of water. Assume that the freezing point is…
