Energy transfer

The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.

Molar Specific Heat

Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)

Thermal Properties of Matter

Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which…

Textbook Question

Chapter 17, Problem 17.78P

On a cool (4.0°C) Saturday morning, a pilot fills the fuel tanks of her Pitts S-2C (a two-seat aerobatic airplane) to their full capacity of 106.0 L. Before flying on Sunday morning, when the temperature is again 4.0°C, she checks the fuel level and finds only 103.4 L of gasoline in the aluminum tanks. She realizes that it was hot on Saturday afternoon and that thermal expansion of the gasoline caused the missing fuel to empty out of the tank’s vent. (a) What was the maximum temperature (in °C) of the fuel and the tank on Saturday afternoon? The coefficient of volume expansion of gasoline is 9.5 × 10⁻⁴K⁻¹. (b) To have the maximum amount of fuel available for flight, when should the pilot have filled the fuel tanks?

In an electrically heated home, the temperature of the ground in contact with a concrete basement wall is 10.3 oC. The temperature at the inside surface of the wall is 18.1 oC. The wall is 0.14 m thick and has an area of 6.5 m2. Assume that one kilowatt hour of electrical energy costs $0.10. How many hours are required for one dollar's worth of energy to be conducted through the wall?

Two small containers, each with a volume of 1.00 x 102 cm3, contain helium gas at 0°C and 1.00 atm pressure. The two containers are joined by a small open tube of negligible volume, allowing gas to flow from one container to the other. What common pressure will exist in the two containers if the temperature of one container is raised to 1.00 x 102 °C while the other container is kept at 0°C?

A hollow aluminum cylinder 20 cm deep has an internal capacity of 2 L at 20°C. It is completely filled with turpentine at 20°C. The turpentine and the aluminum cylinder are then slowly warmed together to 80°C. How much turpentine overflows? (The coefficient of linear thermal expansion of Al is 24x10-6 °C^-1 & the coefficient of volumetric thermal expansion of turpentine is 9×10-4 °C^-1)
