Invented by Sir James Dewar in 1892, A vacuum flask (also known as a Dewar flask, Dewar bottle or thermos) is HERMOS an insulating storage vessel that greatly lengthens the time over which its contents remain hotter or cooler than the flask's surroundings. Explain how this happens.

4) A ground source heat pump heats a building by extracting heat from the ground and pumping it into the building. Define: Qc = heat extracted from the ground, Qn= heat pumped into the building, W = electric energy used by the heat pump, Tc= temperature of the ground, T = temperature of building (Qc, Qn, and W are positive by definition). Assume Tr > Tc. a) Draw a diagram showing energy flow in and out of the heat pump. b) Write a general expression for the change AS in the entropy of the "universe", that is the heat pump plus the cold and hot reservoirs, in terms of the quantities defined above. Now assume ideal (reversible) operation, and take Te= 10 °C and Tp= 20 °C. What is the coefficient of performance (ČOP) of the heat pump? By what factor would this change if we had Tc = 0 °C instead?

Electronics and inhabitants of the International Space Station generate a significant amount of thermal energy that the station must get rid of. The only way that the station can exhaust thermal energy is by radiation, which it does using thin, 1.8-m-by- 3.6-m panels that have a working temperature of about 6°C. How much power is radiated from each panel? Assume that thepanels are in the shade so that the absorbed radiation will be negligible. Assume that the emissivity of the panels is 1.0.
The burner on an electric stove has a power output of 2.0 kWkW. A 780 gg stainless steel tea kettle is filled with 20∘C∘C water and placed on the already hot burner. f it takes 3.3 minmin for the water to reach a boil, what volume of water, in cm3cm3, was in the kettle? Stainless steel is mostly iron, so you can assume its specific heat is that of iron. Express your answer using two significant figures.

Which would cause a more serious burn: 30 g of steam or 30 g of liquid water, both at 100 °C; and why is this so? O Water, because its specific heat is greater than that of steam. O Steam, because of its specific heat capacity. O Water, because it is denser than steam. O Steam, because of its latent heat of vaporization. O Either one would cause a burn of the same severity since they are both at the same temperature.
Water with a mass of mW = 0.400 kg and temperature of TW = 15.5°C is poured into an insulated bucket containing mI = 0.19 kg of ice at a temperature of TI = -15°C. Assume the specific heats of ice and water are constant at cI = 2.10×103 J/(kg⋅°C) and cW = 4.19×103 J/(kg⋅°C), respectively. The latent heat of fusion for water is Lf = 334×103 J/kg.
