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.) COP =

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…
In an experiment, a student wishes to determine the specific heat of an unknown substance. It is observed that 100 g of the substance absorbs 3000 J of energy as it is heated from 30°C to 250°C with no change of state. What is the value of the specific heat of this material?
Question 4. A 5.0 kg block of aluminium is heated from 20°C to 90°C at atmospheric pressure. Find (a) the work done by the aluminium, (b) the amount of energy transferred to it by heat, and (c) the increase in internal energy.
An uninsulated container holds 3.5 mol of an ideal gas at an initial temperature of 300 K. The gas is compressed by a movable piston, and 500 J of work is done on the gas while being compressed. If the final temperature of the gas is 400 K, how much heat flows in or out of the gas during this process?
Incandescent lightbulbs are filled with an inert gas to lengthen the filament life. With the current off ( at T = 20.0 degrees Celsius ), the gas inside a lightbulb has a pressure of 113 kPa. When the bulb is burning, the temperature rises to 89.4 degrees Celsius. What is the pressure at the higher temperature?
Because of its metabolic processes, your body continually emits thermal energy. Suppose that the air in your bedroom absorbs all of this thermal energy during the time you sleep at night (8.0 hours). Assume your metabolic rate to be P = 80 J/s.
In an effort to stay awake for an all-night study session, a student makes a cup of coffee by first placing a 200 W electric immersion heater in 0.400 kg of water.

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.
A sealed, rigid container of 0.560 mol of an unknown ideal gas at a temperature of 30.0 °C is cooled to −40.0 °C . In the process, 980 J of heat are removed from the gas. Is the gas monatomic, diatomic, or polyatomic?
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?
