Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 18.30DQ
In addition to the normal cooking directions printed on the back of a box of rice, there are also “high-altitude directions.” The only difference is that the “high-altitude directions” suggest increasing the cooking time and using a greater volume of boiling water in which to cook the rice. Why should the directions depend on the altitude in this way?

When energy shortages occur, magazine articles sometimes urge us to keep our homes at a constant temperature day and night to conserve fuel. They argue that when we turn down the heat at night, the walls, ceilings, and other areas cool off and must be reheated in the morning. So if we keep the temperature constant, these parts of the house will not cool off and will not have to be reheated. Does this argument make sense? Would we really save energy by following this advice?
Why is the specific latent heat an important factor when choosing heat transfer media? What heat transfer media can be recommended for each of
the following conditions?
(a) Heating a room from 10 °C to 25 °C
(b) Pasteurization of milk at 72 °C
(c) Industrial heating application at 300°C
(d) Heat transfer from a solar collector at 600 °C
(e) Cooking pan heating at 160°C
An ice bag containing 0°C ice is much more effective in absorbing heat than one containing the same amount of 0°C water.
(a) How much heat (in J) is required to raise the temperature of 0.900 kg of water from 0°C to 25.0°C?
(b) How much heat (in J) is required to first melt 0.900 kg of 0°C ice and then raise its temperature?
(c) Explain how your answers support the contention that the ice is more effective.

- Jim is cooking sopas (chicken noodle soup) for Noche Buena. He finished early in the afternoon and wants to preserve it but the sopas is still too hot if it will be put directly on the refrigerator. The sopas has just boiled a hundred degree Celsius and the refrigerator wasn't powerful enough for the big container of the soup if it was warmer than 20 degrees Celsius. Jose found out that cooling it in a sink full of cold water, while the faucet is running with the water resulting to roughly constant temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, could bring the temperature of the sopas to 60 degrees Celsius in 14 minutes. Determine the value of the proportionality constant. Note: SOLVE CONTINUOUSLY. Round off final answer to four decimal places. If your answer is -0.89665 then input -0.8967 as your answer. If your answer is -0.89664 then input-0.8966 as your answer.arrow_forwardJim is cooking sopas (chicken noodle soup) for Noche Buena.

- A pronghorn antelope can run at a remarkable 18 m/sm/s for up to 10 minutes, almost triple the speed that an elite human runner can maintain. For a 32 kgkg pronghorn, this requires an astonishing 3.4 kWkW of metabolic power, which leads to a significant increase in body temperature. If the pronghorn had no way to exhaust heat to the environment, by how much would its body temperature increase during this run? (In fact, it will lose some heat, so the rise won't be this dramatic, but it will be quite noticeable, requiring adaptations that keep the pronghorn's brain cooler than its body in such circumstances.) Assume the efficiency of the pronghorn to be equal to that of human.arrow_forwardIn your kitchen, you fill a clear glass bottle half full of 25° C water and leave the lid off. You then put the bottle outside in the hot summer sun for 30 minutes. After that time, you notice that the temperature of the water has increased to 38° C. There are TWO processes that have occurred that have contributed to the temperature rise of the water in the bottle. Identify both processes and explain how the water's temperature has been raised by these processes.arrow_forwardAt a power plant that produces 1 GW (109 watts) of electricity, the steam turbines take in steam at a temperature of 500°C, and the waste heat is expelled into the environment at 20°C. Suppose you develop a new material for making pipes and turbines, which allows the maximum steam temperature to be raised to 600°C. Roughly how much money can you make in a year by installing your improved hardware, if you sell the additional electricity for 5 cents per kilowatt-hour? (Assume that the amount of fuel consumed at the plant is unchanged.)arrow_forward
- A bag containing 0 °C ice is much more effective in absorbing energy than one containing the same amount of 0 °C water. (a) How much heat transfer is necessary to raise the temperature of 0.800 kg of water from 0 °C to 30.0 °C ? (b) How much heat transfer is required to first melt 0.800 kg of 0 °C ice and then raise its temperature? (c) Explain how your answer supports the contention that the ice is more effective.arrow_forwardYou are thinking ahead to spring when one of your friends is having an outdoor wedding. Your plan is to design the perfect lemonade for the event. The problem with lemonade is that you make it in room temperature and then add ice to cool it to a pleasant 10 oC. Usually, the ice melts diluting the lemonade too much. To help you solve this problem, you look up the specific heat capacity of water (1.0 cal/g oC), the specific heat capacity of ice (0.5 cal/g oC), and the latent heat of fusion of water (80 cal/g). You assume that the specific heat capacity of lemonade is the same as water. Since you will cool your lemonade in a Thermos jug, assume no heat is added to the lemonade from the environment. Using that information, you calculate how much water you get from all the ice melting if you make 6 quarts (5.6 kg) of lemonade at room temperature (23 oC) and add ice which comes straight from the freezer at -5.0 oC.arrow_forwardSuppose 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_forward
