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.

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_forward5 kg of water are contained in a closed,rigid tank at an initial pressure of 1000 kpa and a qualit of 40%.

- A certain car has 14 L of 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_forwardThe control system of the steam-jacketed kettle is shown in the figure. The system consists of a kettle through which water flows at a variable rate w (k9/s). The entering water is at temperature T; ("C), which may vary with time. The kettle water, which is well agitated, is heated by steam condensing in the jacket at temperature T, and pressure P, . The temperature of the water in the kettle is measured and transmitted to the controller. The output signal from the controller is used to change the stem position of the valve, which adjusts the flow of steam to the jacket w. |Computer/Controller The following assumptions are made for the kettle: • The hold-up volume of water in the kettle is constant. The thermal capacity of the kettle wall, which separates steam from water, is negligible compared with that of the Temperature-measuring element Water water in the kettle. The heat capacities of water cpw (K/kg°C) and the metal wall Cp,methal (K/kg°c) are constant.
