Chapter 17, Problem 17.7DQ
The inside of an oven is at a temperature of 200°C (392°F). You can put your hand in the oven without injury as long as you don’t touch anything. But since the air inside the oven is also at 200°C why isn’t your hand burned just the same?

On a mild Saturday morning while people are working inside, the furnace keeps the temperature inside the building at 21°C. At noon the furnace is turned off, and the people go home. The temperature outside is a constant 12°C for the rest of the afternoon. If the time constant for the building is 3 hr, when will the temperature inside the building reach 16°C? If some windows are left open and the time constant drops to 2 hr, when will the temperature inside reach 16°C

You are asked to design a heating system for a swimming pool that is 2 m deep, 25 m long, and 25 m wide. Your client desires that the heating system be large enough to raise the water temperature from 20 to 30°C in 3 h. The rate of heat loss from the water to the air at the outdoor design conditions is determined to be 960 W/m2, and the heater must also be able to maintain the pool at 30°C at those conditions. Heat losses to the ground are expected to be small and can be disregarded. The heater considered is a natural gas furnace whose efficiency is 80 percent. What heater size (in kW input) would you recommend to your client?

- Why is a person able to remove a piece of dry aluminum foil from a hot oven with bare fingers, whereas a burn results if there is moisture on the foil?arrow_forwardSuppose you and your friends are going on a picnic to Tagaytay, which is three hours' drive from Manila. You carry 2 kg ice and placed these in a Styrofoam box measuring 30 cm by 40 cm by 50 cm. The thickness of the box is 5 cm. The outside temperature is 32°C. By the time you reach Tagaytay, do you still have ice? What is its mass? (Thermal conductivity of Styrofoam is equal to 0.010 J/smC°).arrow_forwardA metal rod 50 cm long will expand by 0.075 cm if its temperature is from 0°C to 100°C. while metal rod B will expand by 0.045 cm if it is set at the same temperature and length. If you connect metal rods a and b where the total length of the two connections is 50 cm, it will expand by 0.065 cm. if shocked from 0 °C to 100 °C. calculate the length of each piece of metal that makes up this combined rod.arrow_forward
- We often cut a watermelon in half and put it into the freezer to cool it quickly. But usually we forget to check on it and end up having a watermelon with a frozen layer on the top. To avoid this potential problem a person wants to set the timer such that it will go off when the temperature of the exposed surface of the watermelon drops to 3°C. Consider a 25-cm-diameter spherical watermelon that is cut into two equal parts and put into a freezer at -12°C. Initially, the entire watermelon is at a uniform temperature of 25°C, and the heat transfer coefficient on the surfaces is 22 W/m2·K. Assuming the watermelon to have the properties of water, determine how long it will take for the center of the exposed cut surfaces of the watermelon to drop to 3°C.arrow_forwardIn an electrically heated home, the temperature of the ground in contact with a concrete basement wall is 12.4 oC. The temperature at the inside surface of the wall is 18.4 oC. The wall is 0.13 m thick and has an area of 8.4 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?arrow_forwardThe blood plays an important role in removing heat from the body by bringing this heat directly to the surface where it can radiate away. Nevertheless, this heat must still travel through the skin before it can radiate away. We shall assume that the blood is brought to the bottom layer of skin at a temperature of 37.0°C and that the outer surface of the skin is at 30.0°C. Skin varies in thickness from 0.50 mm to a few millimeters on the palms and soles, so we shall assume an average thickness of 0.75 mm. A 165-lb, 6-ft-tall person has a surface area of about 2.0 m2 and loses heat at a net rate of 75 W while resting. On the basis of our assumptions, what is the thermal conductivity of this person’s skin?arrow_forward
- Consider a person standing in a room at 20°C with an exposed surface area of 1.7 m2. The deep body temperature of the human body is 37°C, and the thermal conductivity of the human tissue near the skin is about 0.3 W/m K. The body is losing heat at a rate of 150 W by natural convection and radiation to the surroundings. Taking the body temperature 0,5 cm beneath the skin to be 37°C, determine the skin temperature of the person.arrow_forwardYou want to insert an aluminum rod, which at 20.0°C has a radius of1.000200 cm into a steel tube which has a radius of 1.000100 cm at the same temperature. You decide to put both of them in the refrigerator. At what temperature will the rod just fit if both are cooled to the same temperature? The coefficient of thermal expansion for aluminum is 2.4 × 10^-5 K^-1, and that of steel is1.2 × 10^-5 K^-1.arrow_forwardAt a local convenience store, you purchase a cup of coffee, but, at 98.4°C, it is too hot to drink. You add 46.9 g of ice that is −2.2°C to the 248 mL of coffee. What is the final temperature of the coffee? (Assume the heat capacity and density of the coffee are the same as water and the coffee cup is well insulated.)arrow_forward
- While swimming, conduction can play a big role in heat loss from the body. The body of one swimmer has a total surface area of 1.80 m2 and an average thickness of 1.60 mm. The skin's thermal conductivity is 0.370 W/m-K. If the water's temperature is 20.0°C, and the blood reaching the inner surface of the skin is at 37.0°C, what is the rate of energy loss for that person through conduction?arrow_forwardA Styrofoam ice box has a total area of 0.950 m² and walls with an average thickness of 2.50 cm. The box contains ice, water, and canned beverages at 0°C. The inside of the box is kept cold by melting ice. How much ice melts in one day if the ice box is kept in the trunk of a car at 35.0°C?arrow_forwardTwo 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?arrow_forward
