A 900 g copper rod at 20 degrees celcius has a length of 1.0000 m. The thermal expansion coefficient of copper is 17 x 10^-6 degrees celcius -1. The specific heat capacity is 0.385 kJ/kg degrees celcius. Question A: The copper is heated to 400 degrees celcius. What is the new length? Give the answer in meters and with 4 digits of precision after the decimal. Question B: The hot copper is then quenched by dunking the entire rod in a bucket with 10 kg of water at 20 degrees celcius. The specific heat capaciy of water is 4.18 kJ/kg degrees celcius. If none of the water turns to steam what is the equilibrium temp of the copper rod and water? Please give the answer in degrees celcius Question C: You measure the equilbrium temp and find that it is 24 degrees celcius. If the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2,260 kJ/kg, what mass of water turned to steam? Answer in grams
At 10:30 AM, detectives discover a dead body in a room and measure its temperature at 27°C. One hour later, the body's temperature had dropped to 24.8°C. Determine how many hours had passed since the death occured (when the body temperature was a normal 37°C), by the time the body was discovered, assuming that the temperature in the room was held constant at 14°C. (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to one decimal place. Round any intermediate calculations, if needed, to no less than three decimal places.) the number of hours:
At crime scenes, the time of death is often determined by the temperature of the liver. Let H(t) be the temperature of the body, and S be the surrounding temperature. Newton's heating-cooling law states that the rate of change in the temperature, H, is proportional to the difference between the object and the surrounding temperature. If it is 75 degrees outside and a living person is 98.6 degrees, use Newton's cooling law to determine how long a body that has temperature 76 degrees has been left outside if at time t = 12 hours, H(12) = 80. Note that we need two measurements as different masses will cool at different rates. O 23.42 O 24.35 O 25.694 O 31.385
Problem 21. Newton's law of cooling states that the temperature of an object changes at a rate proportional to the difference between its temperature and that of its sur- roundings. Suppose that the temperature of a cup of coffee obeys Newton's law of cooling. The coffee has a temperature of 80°C when freshly poured, and 1 min later has cooled to 70°C, when the temperature outdoors is 0°C. (a) Write an initial value problem for this model. (b) Determine the time when the coffee reaches a temperature of 40°C. (Note: Begin the solution by stating your notation).

A Styrofoam box has a surface area of 0.9 m2 and a wall thickness of 1.8 cm. The temperature of the inner surface is 6.6°C, and the outside temperature is 24°C. If it takes 7.7 h for 8 kg of ice to melt in the container, determine the thermal conductivity of the Styrofoam. Final answer in three decimal places. For water, Lf = 334 000 J/ kg.
An engineer who is working on the heat transfer analysis of a house in English units needs the convection heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface of the house. But the only value he can find from his handbooks is 22 W/m2·K, which is in SI units. The engineer does not have a direct conversion factor between the two unit systems for the convection heat transfer coefficient. Using the conversion factors between W and Btu/h, m and ft, and °C and °F, express the given convection heat transfer coefficient in Btu/h·ft2·°F.

Use Newton’s Law of Cooling, T = C + (T0 - C)ekt, to solve, At 9:00 a.m., a coroner arrived at the home of a person who had died. The temperature of the room was 70°F, and at the time of death the person had a body temperature of 98.6°F. The coroner took the body’s temperature at 9:30 a.m.,at which time it was 85.6°F, and again at 10:00 a.m., when it was 82.7°F. At what time did the person die?
We know from Newton's Law of Cooling that the rate at which an object warms up is proportional to the difference between the ambient temperature of the room and the temperature of the object. The differential equation corresponding to this situation is given by y' = k(M – y) where k is a positive constant. The solution to this equation is given by y = M + (yo – M)e-kt , where yo is the initial temperature of the object. Suppose your Thanksgiving turkey is kept at a temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit until it is put into a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven. It takes 2 hours for the turkey to warm up to a safe eating temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Find the values of yo, M, and k, for this situation, rounding your answers to 3 decimal places. Yo= M = k= Regardless of your answers above, suppose the k value in this situation is k = 0.3. Find the initial rate of increase of the turkey's temperature as soon as it is placed in the oven.
