- Suppose you have a filling in one of your teeth, and, while eating some ice cream, you suddenly realize that the filling came out. One of the reasons the filling may have become detached from your tooth is the defferential contraction of the filling relative to the rest of the tooth due to the temperature change. (a) Find the change in volume for a metallic dental filling due to the difference between body temperature (37.0 degrees Celsius) and the temperature of the ice cream you ate (-6.2 degrees Celsius). The initial volume of the filling is 39.0 mm^3 , and its expansion coefficient is alpha = 42.0 x 10^-6/K (answer in cubic mm) (b) The change in volume for a metallic dental filling is due to the difference between body temperature (37.0 degrees Celsius) and the temperature of the ice cream you ate (-6.2 degrees Celsius).

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_forward17.26 · In an effort to stay awake for an all-night study session, a student makes a cup of coffee by first placing a 200-W electric immersion heater in 0.320 kg of water.
