Careful measurements show that the specific heat of the solid phase depends on temperature (Fig. P17.117). How will the actual time needed for this cryoprotectant to come to equilibrium with the cold plate compare with the time predicted by using the values in the table? Assume that all values other than the specific heat (solid) are correct. The actual time (a) will be shorter; (b) will be longer; (c) will be the same; (d) depends on the density of the cryoprotectant.

- (a) What is the rate of heat conduction through the 3.00-cm-thick fur of a large animal having a I .40-m surface area? 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_forwardAn aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 3(H) K. (a) If one-halt of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool, (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K. what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 YV/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)arrow_forwardIn the lab, you have nails with mass Mn and temperature Tn.You submerge those nails in the water with mass Mw and temperature Tw. Specific heat capacities of nails Cn and water Cw areCn = 0.12 cal/gCCw = 1.00 cal/gC Presume no energy loss (all energy transfer is only between water and nails).Find the resulting temperature of nails in the water after temperature is equalized given the following values: Mn = 139 gTn = 119 CMw = 119 gTw = 27 C Enter 2 digits after decimal point.arrow_forward
- Suppose you are trying to choose between two winter jackets. Suppose also that you have a heat-producing mannequin available for your use and you are able to adjust the mannequin’s rate of heat production. According to the equation: M = (1/I)(TB-TA) described in chapter 10, insulation is equal to (TB – TA)/M (this is in fact a general equation for insulation). How would you make a quantitative comparison of the insulation provided by the two jackets?arrow_forward6.arrow_forwardIf the person in Example 17.5 of your book is a Terminator machine that is composed of 99.99% Aluminum.

Example 17.5 Situation: During a bout with the flu on 80kg man ran a fever of 39.0C instead of the normal body temperature 37.0C. Assuming that the human body is mostly water, how much heat is required to raise his temperature by that amountarrow_forward
- Help.... Its wintertime and you are in need of portable electrical heater for your room and you are comparing two different products. The first heater has metal grills made of aluminum and has dimensions of 0.75 m x 0.05 m x 0.01 m while the second heater has metal grills made of iron and has dimensions of 1.00 m x 0.03 m x 0.01 m. You wish to heat your room from 10 degrees Celsius to a nice toasty 28 degrees Celsius and your wall outlet provides 120 V. 1) What is the resistance of the aluminum and iron heater at 28 degrees Celsius? 2) What is the current for the aluminum and iron heater operating at 28 degrees Celsius? 3) If you wish to operate your heater for 4 hours and the cost of electricity is $0.12 per kilowatt-hour, which heater has cheaper operational costs?arrow_forwardAt very low temperatures the molar heat capacity of rock salt varies with temperature according to Debye's T3 law: C = k where k = 1940 J/(mol K) and 0 = 281 K.

- The ground temperature a few meters below the surface is fairly constant throughout the year and is near the average value of the air temperature. In areas in which the air temperature drops very low in the winter, the exterior unit of a heat pump designed for heating is sometimes buried underground in order to use the earth as a thermal reservoir. Why is it worthwhile to bury the heat exchanger, even if the underground unit costs more to purchaseand install than one above ground?arrow_forwardA certain car has 14 L of liquid coolant circulating at a temperature of 95 degrees Celsius through the engine’s cooling system. Assume that, in this normal condition, the coolant completely fills the 3.5 L volume of the aluminum radiator and the 10.5 L internal cavities within the aluminum engine. When a car overheats, the radiator, engine, and coolant expand and a small reservoir connected to the radiator catches any resultant coolant overflow. Estimate how much coolant overflows to the reservoir if the system goes from 95 degrees Celsius to 106 degrees Celsius. Model the radiator and engine as hollow shells of aluminum. The coefficient of volume expansion for coolant is 410x10^-6 degrees Celsiusarrow_forwardConsider a pan placed on top of electric range to cook. The bottom section of the pan is 0.4 cm thick and has a diameter of 18 cm. The electric heating unit on the range top consumes 800 W of power during cooking, and 80 percent of the heat generated in the heating element is transferred uniformly to the pan. Assuming constant thermal conductivity and steady state operation. The heat transfer can be approximated as being one-dimensional through the bottom surface to the top. Take the direction normal to the bottom surface to be the x-axis. a)Perform an energy balance on a thin element of the pan during a small-time interval △t , and indicate which terms may be neglected or ignored and why? b)Assuming constant thermal conductivity, obtain the differential equation that describes the variation of the temperature in the bottom section of the pan during steady state operation.arrow_forward
