In your ranking, note any cases of equality, (a) raising the temperature of 1 kg of H2O from 20C to 26C (b) raising the temperature of 2 kg of H2O from 20C to 23C (c) raising the temperature of 2 kg of H2O from 1C to 4C (d) raising the temperature of 2 kg of beryllium from 1C to 2C (e) raising the temperature of 2 kg of H2O from -1C to 2Carrow_forwardA spherical shell has inner radius 3.00 cm and outer radius 7.00 cm. It is made of material with thermal conductivity k = 0.800 W/m C. The interior is maintained at temperature 5C and the exterior at 40C. After an interval of time, the shell reaches a steady state with the temperature at each point within it remaining constant in time. (a) Explain why the rate of energy transfer P must be the same through each spherical surface, of radius r, within the shell and must satisfy dTdr=P4kr2 (b) Next, prove that 5dT=P4k0.030.07r2dr where T is in degrees Celsius and r is in meters. (c) Find the rate of energy transfer through the shell. (d) Prove that 5TdT=1.840.03rr2dr where T is in degrees Celsius and r is in meters. (e) Find the temperature within the shell as a function of radius. (f) Find the temperature at r = 5.00 cm, halfway through the shell.arrow_forwardOne 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.
