A family comes home from a long vacation with laundry to do and showers to take. The water heater has been turned off during the vacation. If the heater has a capacity of 50.0 gallons and a 4,500-W heating element, how much time is required to raise the temperature of the water from 20.0°C to 55.0°C? Assume the heater is well insulated and no water is withdrawn from the tank during that time
The number of kilocalories in food is determined by calorimetry techniques in which the food is burned and the amount of heat transfer is measured. How many kilocalories per gram are there in a 5.00-g peanut if the energy from burning it is transferred to 0.500 kg of water held in a 0.100-kg aluminum cup, causing a 54.9°C temperature increase?

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). The thermal resistance between the cube and the water is Rcw while the thermal resistance between the bottom surface of the container and the cube is RCB. The temperature of the cube is denoted by 0c. a) Draw the system schematic indicating the assumed directions of the heat transfer rates. Label all the nodes and system parameters. b) Derive the governing equation for the temperature of the cube, 0c. c) Where does to appear in the system schematic and how does it affect the governing equations? d) Calculate the steady-state temperature of the cube, css, assuming the following system parameters: 0o = 21°C, 0B = 6°C, 0w = 0°C, Rcw = 2°C/W, and RCB = 4°C/W
