Inside the wall of a house, an L-shaped section of hot-water pipe consists of three parts: a straight, horizontal piece h = 28.0 cm long, an elbow, and a straight vertical piece ℓ = 159 cm long (figure below). A stud and a second-story floorboard hold the ends of this section of copper pipe stationary. Find the magnitude and direction of the displacement of the pipe elbow when the water flow is turned on, raising the temperature of the pipe from 18.0°C to 46.9°C. (Assume a coordinate system with it's origin at the elbow, the +x-axis to the right in line with the horizontal pipe and the +y-axis going upward.) magnitude mm direction ° (clockwise from the +x-axis) An illustration shows an L-shaped pipe embedded within the wall of a house. The pipe consists of a horizontal segment of length h connected to a vertical segment of length ℓ such that both segments are parallel to the wall.
Energy transfer
The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.
Molar Specific Heat
Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)
Thermal Properties of Matter
Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which is transferred between the two systems or in between the systems and their surrounding by the virtue of difference in temperature. Calorimetry is that branch of science which helps in measuring the changes which are taking place in the heat energy of a given body.
