Quenching is the process of immersing a hot metal object in a bath for a specified time to improve properties such as hardness. A copper sphere 25 mm in diameter, initially at 300°C, is immersed in a bath at 0°C. Measurements of the sphere’s temperature versus time are shown here. Plot the data and find a functional description of the data.

- An electric heater producing 260 W of heat is used to warm up a room containing 7 m3 of air. If we assume the room is perfectly sealed and there is no heat loss through the room boundaries, such that all of the heater output goes into increasing the air temperature, how long will it take to heat up the air in the room from 5.0 °C to 24.1 °C? Give your answer to the nearest minute and assume that the specific volume (v = 0.85 m3/kg) and specific heat capacity at constant volume (cv = 1.005 kJ/(kg K)) remain constant throughout the heating process.arrow_forwardTo maximize production and minimize pumping costs, crude oil is heated to reduce its viscosity during transportation from a production field. (1) Consider a pipe-in-pipe configuration consisting of concentric steel tubes with an intervening insulating material. The inner tube is used to transport warm crude oil through cold ocean water. The inner steel pipe ( ks = 40 W/m-K) has an inside diameter of Di, 1 = 150 mm and wall thickness t; = 20 mm while the outer steel pipe has an inside diameter of D2 = 250 mm and wall thickness, = 1,. Determine the maximum allowable crude oil temperature to ensure the polyurethane foam insulation (k, = 0.0425 W/m.K) between the two pipes does not exceed its maximum service temperature of Tp, max = 70°C. The ocean water is at Too, o ho T = -5°C and provides an external convection heat transfer coefficient of h = 500 W/m²K. The convection coefficient associated with the flowing crude oil is h₁ = 450 W/m²K.

- A J-type thermocouple with an ice-reference junction showed a reading of 22 mV. After the experiment, it was found that the actual temperature of the reference junction is 4ºC instead of 0ºC. Calculate the actual value of the measured temperature. I understand the question, I don’t understand why you don’t add the increase to all the other values when finding the “gradient” if the reference was found to be 0.204 higherarrow_forwardThe following graph shows the thermal behavior of 2 kg of a material called Uniandesato undergoing a solid-liquid phase transition. In a container, thermally insulated from the outside, 20 kg of liquid water at a temperature of 80°C are placed. In addition to this, an unknown amount of Uniandesato in a 100% solid state at its melting temperature (10°C) is added. The specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg°C. a) If the system reaches an equilibrium temperature of 60°C, calculate the initial amount of Uniandesato added to the container. b) Calculate the change in entropy during this process and show that it is consistent with the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
