You wish to buy a new freezer for your basement. The primary use of the freezer will be to prepare ice for family parties. You have a very large family, with grandparents, parents, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, nieces, and grandchildren. As a result, family birthday parties are held every couple of weeks, and you need lots of ice for drinks. You want the freezer to convert 10.5 kg of water at 23.5°C to 10.5 kg of ice at -8.6°C in 2.00 h. But, in order to keep your electric bill down, you want the power rating of the freezer to stay below 100 W. From these requirements, you determine the minimum COP of the freezer that will satisfy your needs. (Consider that the specific heat of water is 4,186 J/(kg . °C), the specific heat of ice is 2,090 J/(kg. °C), the latent heat of fusion of water is 3.33 x 105 J/kg, and the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.26 x 106 J/kg.)

Jessica is walking down the NYC while eating a hot dog. Her walking is making her lose calories. Her eating the hot dog is making her gain calories. The rate as which she is losing calories per minute is defined as f(t)=t^2+5. The rate at which she is gaining calories per minute is defined as g(t) =10t+50. Before her walk, she had already eaten an entire pretzel which contained 300 calories. a.) From the 0th minute to the 8th minute, approximate how many calories Jessiva has lost using LRS approximation of 4 subintervals. b.) What is the actual number of calories Jessica has lost on her 8 minute walk? c.) What is the exact number of calories Jessica has gained, eating her hotdog for 8 minutes? d.) What is the average rate of calorie loss during her walk? (Please use the average value formula) e.) At what time will Jessica have a net gain/loss of calories at 0? f.) After her 8 minute walk and taking into account the pretzel she had eaten prior, how many calories has Jessica…
A cube of ice is taken from the freezer at -8.8°C and placed in a 104 g iron cup filled with 279 g of water. Both the water & the cup are at 23.9°C. Eventually the system reaches thermal equilibrium at 12.4°C. Determine Qcup, Qwater (for the water initially in the cup), Qice, & the mass of the ice.Qcup = Qwater = Qice = mice =
SANAE IV, a research station of The South African National Antarctic Programme (SANAP), is located on Vesleskarvet, Queen Maud Land. It uses an underground lake as the cold reservoir of a Carnot heat pump that maintains the temperature of a science lab at 302.8 K. To deposit 13488 J of heat in the lab, the heat pump requires 1022 J of work. Determine the temperature of water in the underground lake, in Kelvin
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
When you jog, most of the food energy you burn above your basal metabolic rate (BMR) ends up as internal energy that would raise your body temperature if it were not eliminated. The evaporation of perspiration is the primary mechanism for eliminating this energy. Determine the amount of water you lose to evaporation when running for 58 minutes at a rate that uses 400 kcal/h above your BMR. (That amount is often considered to be the "maximum fat-burning" energy output. The latent heat of vaporization of water at room temperature is 2.5 106 J/kg.) A) _________ kgB)The metabolism of 1 gram of fat generates approximately 8.63 kcal of energy and produces approximately 1 gram of water. (The hydrogen atoms in the fat molecule are transferred to oxygen to form water.) What fraction of your need for water will be provided by fat metabolism?______________ %

Refrigerant 134a expands in a piston-cylinder assembly from p₁ = 160 lb/in² and T₁ = 140°F to p2 = 30 lb/in² and T₂ = 80 °F. The mass of refrigerant is 0.5 lb. During the process, the work done by the refrigerant is 4.32 Btu. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine the initial volume of the refrigerant, V₁, in ft3, and the heat transfer for the process, in Btu.
Initially there is a balloon that holds half of a mole of an ideal gas with a volume of 1.5 L at 273 K. Then 1500 J of heat is added to the balloon, and the balloon expands to 4.0 L. Using the Ideal Gas Law (PV =nRT) where R = 8.314 J K-¹mol-¹, the equation for work, and the First Law of Thermodynamics, what is the change in internal energy of the balloon at the end of the process?”
An air-filled cylinder with a movable piston has a heat reservoir in contact with it. The heat reservoir transfers 850 J of energy into the cylinder. Due to the energy transfer, the piston does 437 J of work on the environment. What is the change in internal energy of the system?
a vertical piston cylinder assembly containing water is being heated on a stove. during this process, 100 kJ of heat is transferred to the water. in the water's expansion process (because of the heat addition), 10 kJ of work is done. also there is 20 kJ heat loss from the assembly. what is the water's change of energy as a result of the heat addition process?
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?
