A small metal cube with a thermal mass mc and an initial temperature 0 is dropped into a container of water that is actively maintained at a constant temperature 0w. The cube quickly comes to rest on the bottom surface of the container. The bottom surface is maintained at a constant temperature 0 (note that this is different from 0w).

A 155 g copper bowl contains 230 g of water, both at 20.0°C. A very hot 300 g copper cylinder is dropped into the water, causing the water to boil, with 4.05 g being converted to steam.

For the water, did you use the same expression to get the water to the boiling point? Did you also include an expression for the heat of vaporization? Did you use the given final temperature for each of the three materials?

A cylinder container is divided into two equal sections by thermally isolated, frictionless piston,as shown in the figure. One section contains water and the other air. The cylinder is isolated except the one face of the water section. Each section has an initial volume of 100 liter. The initial temperature of the air is 40 degees C and the water is 90 degrees C with steam quality of 10%. The water are heated slowly until the entire section of the water is filled with saturated steam. Find the final pressure and the amount of heat transported to the container. Assume: the heat transfer is a reversible process. Assume for ideal gas the following relation between p and v: (p2/p1)^((k-1)/k) = (v1/v2)^k-1 ; k=1.4

A typical nuclear reactor generates 1000 MW of electric energy. In doing so, it produces “waste heat” at a rate of 2000 MW, and this heat must be removed from the reactor. Many reactors are sited next to large bodies of water so that they can use the water for cooling. Consider a reactor where the intakewater is at 18°C. State regulations limit the temperature of the output water to 30°C so as not to harm aquatic organisms. How many kilograms of cooling water have to be pumped through the reactor each minute?
