A thermos for liquid helium. A physicist uses a cylindrical metal can 0.250 m high and 0.090 m in diameter to store liquid helium at 4.22 K; at that temperature the heat of vaporization of helium is 2.09 × 104 J/kg. Completely surrounding the metal can are walls maintained at the temperature of liquid nitrogen, 77.3 K, with vacuum between the can and the surrounding walls. How much helium is lost per hour? The emissivity of the metal can is 0.200. The only

- (a) An exterior wall of a house is 3 m tall and 10 m wide. It consists of a layer of drywall with an R factor of 0.56, a layer 3.5 inches thick filled with fiberglass batts, and a layer of insulated siding with an R factor of 2.6. The wall is built so well that there are no leaks of air through it. When the inside of the wall is at 22 and the outside is at 2 , what is the rate of heat flow through the wall? (b) More realistically, the 3.5-inch space also contains 2-by-4 studs—wooden boards 1.5 inches by 3.5 inches oriented so that 3.5-inch dimension extends from the drywall to the siding. They are "on 16-inch centers," that is, the centers of the studs ale 16 inches apart. What is the heat current in this situation? Don't worry about one stud mole or less.arrow_forward(a) At what temperature do the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales have the same numerical value?

Assume that the animal's skin temperature is 32.0 , that the air temperature is 5.00 , and that has the same thermal conductivity as air. (b) What food intake will the animal need in one day to replace this heat transfer?arrow_forward
- One way to cool a gas is to let it expand. When a certain gas under a pressure of 5.00 106 Ha at 25.0C is allowed to expand to 3.00 times its original volume, its final pressure is 1.07 106 Pa. (a) What is the initial temperature of the gas in Kelvin? (b) What is the final temperature of the system?

(a) What is the mass of this iceberg, given that the density of ice is 917 kg/m3? (b) How much heat transfer (in joules) is needed to melt it? (c) How many years would it take sunlight alone to melt ice this thick, if the ice absorbs an average of 100 W/m2, 12.00 h per day?arrow_forwardA rubber ball of radius 2.12 m and emissivity 0.940 is heated to 128°C.

- JE JIE U 8. A 3.2 m length of copper pipe extends directly from a hot-water heater in a basement to a faucet on the first floor of a house. If the faucet isn't fixed in place, how much will it rise when the pipe is heated from 20.0° C to 85.9° C. The coefficient of linear expansion for copper is 1.6*10$ K-.

The heater is the only device in the building. When the heater runs, it consumes 250 W. The building is 3m X 3m X 2.5m. The temperature outside is 25 degrees celsius, and the the wind is blowing at 10km per hour. Estimate the temperature inside the building if the walls and ceiling are made of 13 mm thick plywood and 13 mm thick drywall with 100 mm of air inbetween. The floor is perfectly insulated and there aren't any cracks in the walls ceiling or door frame.

Two glass bulbs of volume 500 and 100 cc are connected by a narrow tube whose volume is negligible. When the apparatus is sealed off, the pressure of the air inside is 70 cm of Hg and the temperature 20°C. What does the pressure become if the 100 cc bulb is kept at 20°C and the other is heated to 100°C?arrow_forward
- Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. We will estimate this effect in this problem, assuming the thermal coefficient of volume expansion is 210 × 10-6/°C for sea water. 1. Calculate the change in length, in meters, of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00°C. Note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth.

If the aluminum bar is used to bridge between ice at 0 °C and boiling water at 100 °C, what is the rate of heat transfer (in W) along the bar?arrow_forwardAt the bottom of an old mercury-in-glass thermometer is a 42-mm3 reservoir filled with mercury. When the thermometer was placed under your tongue, the warmed mercury would expand into a very narrow cylindrical channel, called a capillary, whose radius was 2.0 × 10-2 mm. Marks were placed along the capillary that indicated the temperature. Ignore the thermal expansion of the glass and determine how far (in mm) the mercury would expand into the capillary when the temperature changed by 1.0 C°.arrow_forward
