You are asked to test a machine that the inventor calls an“in-room air conditioner”: a big box, standing in the middleof the room, with a cable that plugs into a power outlet.When the machine is switched on, you feel a stream of coldair coming out of it. How do you know that this machinecannot cool the room?
We often cut a watermelon in half and put it into the freezer to cool it quickly. Butusually we forget to check on it and end up having a watermelon with a frozen layeron the top. To avoid this potential problem a person wants to set the timer such thatit will go off when the temperature of the exposed surface of the watermelon dropsto 3°C. Consider a 25-cm-diameter spherical watermelon that is cut into two equalparts and put into a freezer at 212°C. Initially, the entire watermelon is at a uniformtemperature 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 itwill take for the center of the exposed cut surfaces of the watermelon to drop to 3°C.Answer: 46.7 min

- Your granny normally took a hot 2L hot water bottle (covered with a thin towel and at 50 degrees Celsius) with her to bed on a very cold winters night and it worked quite well. She however decided to replace the water bottle with a huge 2 kg piece of iron (also covered with a towel at 50 degrees Celsius). She only used the 2kg piece of iron for one day and decided to rather always use the hot water bottle throughout the cold winter. Use your knowledge of Physics to explain why granny only used the hot piece of iron for ONE day and went back to using the hot water bottle aferwards.arrow_forwardA steel ring of 3.000 cm inside diameter at 20°C is to be heated and slipped over a brass shaft measuring 3.002 cm in diameter at 20°C.
