The apparatus shown in Figure P11.12 was used by Joule to measure the mechanical equivalent of heat. Work is done on the water by a rotating paddle wheel, which is driven by two blocks falling at a constant speed. The temperature of the stirred water increases due to the friction between the water and the paddles. If the energy lost in the bearings and through the walls is neglected, then the loss in potential energy associated with the blocks equals the work done by the paddle wheel on the water. If each block has a mass of 1.50 kg and the insulated tank is filled with 0.200 kg of water, what is the increase in temperature of the water after the blocks fall through a distance of 3.00 m?

Work is done on the water by a rotating paddle wheel, which is driven by two blocks falling at a constant speed. The temperature of the stirred water increases due to the friction between the water and the paddles. If the energy lost in the bearings and through the walls is neglected, then the loss in potential energy associated with the blocks equals the work done by the paddle wheel on the water. If each block has a mass of 1.50 kg and the insulated tank is filled with 200 g of water, what is the increase in temperature of the water after the blocks fall through a distance of 3.00 m?
Water is being heated in a closed pan on top of a range while being stirred by a paddle wheel. During the process, 30 kJ of heat is transferred to the water, and 5 kJ of heat is lost to the surrounding air. The paddle-wheel work amounts to 500 N ∙ m. Determine the final energy of the system if its initial energy is 10 kJ.

- If a gas is compressed isothermally, which of the following statements is true? (a) Energy is transferred into the gas by heat. (b) No work is done on the gas. (c) The temperature of the gas increases. (d) The internal energy of the gas remains constant. (e) None of those statements is true.arrow_forwardIn the extrusion of cold chocolate from a tube, work is done on the chocolate by the pressure applied by a ram forcing the chocolate through the tube. The work per unit mass of extruded chocolate is equal to p/r, where p is the difference between the applied pressure and the pressure where the chocolate emerges from the tube, and r is the density of the chocolate. Rather than increasing the temperature of the chocolate, this work melts cocoa fats in the chocolate.These fats have a heat of fusion of 150 kJ/kg.Assume that all of the work goes into that melting and that these fats make up 30% of the chocolate’s mass.What percentage of the fats melt during the extrusion if p = 5.5 MPa and r = 1200 kg/m3?arrow_forwardA heat pump operates with an outside temperature of –10°C and an inside temperature of +19°C.

- Is increasing the temperature of the surroundings the only effect of this "lost" kinetic energy? If the ground is soft, a hard steel ball like this might cause the ground to deform. It does work on the ground while moving. But, once everything comes to a stop we find the kinetic energy just before impact has been converted to thermal energy. The temperature of the affected areas increases, though slightly. Eventually, this thermal energy spreads into the atmosphere and surrounding areas, making any temperature changes undetectable. We might instead drop the ball onto a hard surface. The ball itself might deform or break, and some of the kinetic energy might go into the motion of fragment particles that fly in all directions. But again, in the end, all the kinetic energy is dissipated into thermal energy. What about a case where a ball bounces? Say a rubber ball, with a mass of 0.020 kg, is dropped from rest at a height of 1.75 m. It rebounds off the floor, and reaches a maximum height…arrow_forwardIf you mix food in a blender, the electric motor does work on the system, which consists of the food inside the container. This work can noticeably warm up the food. Suppose the blender motor runs at a power of 250 W for 40 s. During this time, 2000 J of heat flow from the now-warmer food to its cooler surroundings. By how much does the thermal energy of the food increase?arrow_forwardHeat pumps can be used as a practical way of heating buildings. The ground itself can be used as the cold source because at a depth of a few metres the temperature is independent of the air temperature; in temperate latitudes the ground temperature is around 13 °C at a depth of 10 m. On a cold day it is found that to keep a certain room at 18 °C a heater rated at 5 kW is required. Assuming that an ideal heat pump is used, and that all heat transfers are reversible, calculate the power needed to maintain the room temperature. Recall that 1 W = 1 J s−1.arrow_forward
