The ground temperature a few meters below the surface is fairly constant throughout the year and is near the average value of the air temperature. In areas in which the air temperature drops very low in the winter, the exterior unit of a heat pump designed for heating is sometimes buried underground in order to use the earth as a thermal reservoir. Why is it worthwhile to bury the heat exchanger, even if the underground unit costs more to purchaseand install than one above ground?
Someone comments that a microwave oven can be viewed as a conventional oven with zero convection resistance at the surface of the food. Is this an accurate statement?
You have two rods of the same length and diameter, but they are formed from different materials. The rods are used to connect two regions at different temperatures so that energy transfers through the rods by heat. They can be connected in series as shown or in parallel as shown. In which case is the rate of energy transfer by heat larger? (a) The rate is larger when the rods are in series. (b) The rate is larger when the rods are in parallel. (c) The rate is the same in both cases.

- A common material for cushioning objects in packages is made by trapping bubbles of air between sheets of plastic. Is this material more effective at keeping the contents of the package from moving around inside the package on (a) a hot day, (b) a cold day, or (c) either hot or cold days?arrow_forwardConsider the piston cylinder apparatus shown in Figure P20.81. The bottom of the cylinder contains 2.00 kg of water at just under 100.0c. The cylinder has a radius of r = 7.50 cm. The piston of mass m = 3.00 kg sits on the surface of the water. An electric heater in the cylinder base transfers energy into the water at a rate of 100 W. Assume the cylinder is much taller than shown in the figure, so we dont need to be concerned about the piston reaching the top of the cylinder. (a) Once the water begins boiling, how fast is the piston rising? Model the steam as an ideal gas. (b) After the water has completely turned to steam and the heater continues to transfer energy to the steam at the same rate, how fast is the piston rising?arrow_forwardA househusband is cooking beef stew for his family in a pan that is (a) uncovered, (b) covered with a light lid, and (c) covered with a heavy lid.

- Consider an oil-to-oil double-pipe heat exchanger whose flow arrangement is not known. The temperature measurements indicate that the cold oil enters at 20°C and leaves at 55°C, while the hot oil enters at 80°C and leaves at 45°C. Do you think this is a parallel-flow or counter-flow heat exchanger? Why? Assuming the mass flow rates of both fluids to be identical, determine the effectiveness of this heat exchanger.arrow_forwardA window panel that measures 20.0 cm by 15.0 cm is set into the front door of a house. The glass is 0.32 cm thick. The temperature outdoors is −15°C and inside is 22°C. (C glass=0.63 W/mk) a)calculate the heat transfer for a single window. (house) b) calculate the heat transfer for the double-gated window. c)calculate the heat transfer for the Tripple gated window. d)calculate the heat transfer for the quadruple glazed window. Also: 1.find out what is used in those gaps (not air or vacuum or left empty) 2. find out the standard gap dimensions 3.what is the specific heat capacity of the substance that is used in those gaps 4.calculate and compare the heat transfersarrow_forwardWater flows through a shower head steadily at a rate of 10 L/min. An electric resistance heater placed in the water pipe heats the water from 16 to 43°C. Taking the density of water to be 1 kg/L, determine the electric power input to the heater, in kW. In an effort to conserve energy, it is proposed to pass the drained warm water at a temperature of 39°C through a heat exchanger to preheat the incoming cold water. If the heat exchanger has an effectiveness of 0.50 (i.e., it recovers only half of the energy that can possibly be transferred from the drained water to incoming cold water), determine the electric power input required in this case. If the price of the electric energy is 11.5 ¢/kWh, determine how much money is saved during a 10-min shower as a result of installing this heat exchanger.arrow_forward
- A “solar cooker” consists of a curved reflecting mirror that focuses sunlight onto the object to be heated (Fig. P11.69). The solar power per unit area reaching the Earth at the location of a 0.50-m-diameter solar cooker is 600. W/m2. Assuming 50% of the incident energy is converted to thermal energy, how long would it take to boil away 1.0 L of water initially at 20.°C? (Neglect the specific heat of the container.)arrow_forwardUnder what conditions can the overall heat transfer coefficient of a heat exchanger be determined from U = (1/hi + 1/ho)-1?arrow_forwardConsider an insulated pipe exposed to the atmosphere. Will the critical radius of insulation be greater on calm days or on windy days? Why?arrow_forward
- Heat pumps can be used as a practical way of heating buildings. The ground itself can be used as the cold source because at a depth of a few metres the temperature is independent of the air temperature; in temperate latitudes the ground temperature is around 13 °C at a depth of 10 m. On a cold day it is found that to keep a certain room at 18 °C a heater rated at 5 kW is required. Assuming that an ideal heat pump is used, and that all heat transfers are reversible, calculate the power needed to maintain the room temperature. Recall that 1 W = 1 J s−1.arrow_forwardTwo lightbulbs have cylindrical filaments much greater in length than in diameter. The evacuated bulbs are identical except that one operates at a filament temperature of 2 100°C and the other operates at 2 000°C. (a) Find the ratio of the power emitted by the hotter lightbulb to that emitted by the cooler lightbulb. (b) With the bulbs operating at the same respective temperatures, the cooler lightbulb is to be altered by making its filament thicker so that it emits the same power as the hotter one. By what factor should the radius of this filament be increased?arrow_forwardNoting the large stresses that can be caused by thermal expansion, an amateur weapon inventor decides to use it to make a new kind of gun. He plans to jam a bullet against an aluminum rod inside a closed invar tube. When he heats the tube, the rod will expand more than the tube and a verystrong force will build up. Then, by a method yet to be determined, he will open the tube in a split second and let the force of the rod launch the bullet at very high speed. What is he overlooking?arrow_forward
