Chapter 11.5, Problem 11.4QQ
Two rods of the same length and diameter are made from different materials. The rods are to connect two regions of different temperature so that energy will transfer through the rods by heat. They can be connected in series, as in Figure 11.7a (page 363), or in parallel, as in Figure 11.7b. In which case is the rate of energy transfer by heat larger? (a) When the rods are in series. (b) When the rods are in parallel. (c) The rate is the same in both cases.

A heat engine has a solar collector receiving 600 Btu/h per square foot, inside
which a transfer medium is heated to 800 R. The collected energy powers a
heat engine that rejects heat at 100 F. If the heat engine should deliver 8500
Btu/h, what is the minimum size (area) of the solar collector?

The “Energy Guide” label on a washing machine indicates that the washer will use $85 worth of hot water per year if the water is heated by an electric water heater at an electricity rate of $0.113/kWh. If the water is heated from 12 to 55°C, determine how many liters of hot water an average family uses per week. Disregard the electricity consumed by the washer, and take the efficiency of the electric water heater to be 91 percent.

- I often make tea in my microwave oven. I know that it takes two minutes to bring the temperature of a cup of water from room temperature to just about boiling: ready for the teabag. I looked up the characteristics of a microwave oven. Typically their power rating is about 1000 W, but I know that this is the power consumed from the power company, not the power delivered to the water. I looked up the efficiency of microwave ovens, and found that it is about 64%, meaning that a typical oven delivers 640 W to the water. I also looked up the frequency of the microwaves that an oven uses, and found thatf= 2,450 MHz. (a) How much energy is delivered to the water in the making of a cup of tea? (b) What is the wavelength of the microwave? (c) What is the energy of one microwave photon? (d) How many microwave photons are absorbed by the water in making a cup of tea?arrow_forwardhelp.arrow_forwardA technician measures the specific heat of an unidentified liquid by immersing an electrical resistor in it.
