9.90 Many engineering designs must incorporate ways to dissipate energy in the form of heat. Water evaporators are common for this task. (a) What property of water makes it a good material for evaporators? {b} If an application could not use water, hut instead was forced to use a material with a value for the property in part (a) that was one half that of water, what changes would need to be made in the design?
Explain the economic importance of conversions between different forms of energy and the inevitability of losses in this process.
Some solar-heated homes use large beds of rocks to store heat. (a) How much heat is absorbed by 100.0 kg of rocks if their temperature increases by 12C? (Assume that c=0.82J/gC.) (b) Assume that the rock pile has total surface area 2 m2. At maximum intensity near the earth's surface, solar power is about 170 watts/m2. (1watt=1J/s.) How many minutes will it take for solar power to produce the 12C increase in part (a)?
9.16 According to Figure 9.2, the total energy supply in the United States in 2016 was 111.261015 Btu. Express this value in joules and in calories. FIGURE 9.2 Energy production and consumption (in quadrillion Btu) in the United States during the year 2016. The discussion in the text explains how to read this complex figure, which contains an enormous amount of information about the energy economy. Data come from the Department of Energy and do not always add up exactly as expected due to rounding and other issues.
In the “Chemistry in Focus” segment Firewalking: Magic or Science?, it is claimed that one reason people can walk on hot coals is that human tissue is mainly composed of water. Because of this, a large amount of heat must be transferred from the coals to change the temperature of the feet significantly. How much heat must be transferred to 100.0 g of water to change its temperature by 35 °C?
Natural gas companies in the United States use the therm as a unit of energy. One therm is 1105 BTU. (a) How many joules are in one therm? (1J=9.48104BTU) (b) When propane gas, C3H8, is burned in oxygen, CO2 and steam are produced. How many therms of energy are given off by 1.00 mol of propane gas?
