Chapter 4, Problem 4.9P
Radioactive wastes are temporarily stored in a spherical container, the center of which is buried a distance of 10 m below the earth’s surface. The outside diameter of the container is 2 m, and 500 W of heat are released as a result of radioactive decay. If the soil surface temperature is 20°C, what is the outside surface temperature of the container under steady-state conditions? On a sketch of the soil–container system drawn to scale, show representative isotherms and heat flow lines in the soil.

A furnace wall is made up of three layer of thickness 200 mm, 100 mm, and 125
mm with thermal conductivity of 1.65 W/m-K, k2, and 9.2 W/m-K respectively. The
inside is exposed to gases at 1200°C with a convection coefficient of 25 W/m²-K
and the inside surface temperature is at 1000°C, the outside air temperature is at
30°C with convection coefficient of 12 W/m²-K. Calculate:
a. the unknown thermal conductivity;
b. the outside surface temperature and mid-plane temperatures in °F.
Let's say a 3.0 gram copper wafer is dropped from a height of 50.0 meters. If 60% of the potential energy lost in the drop could be converted to thermal energy used to heat the copper from an initial temperature
of 25 degrees celsius, what would the final temperature of the copper wafer?
Would the answer be different if the wafer has a mass greater than 3 grams?
Note: the specific heat of copper is 387 J/(kg*K).
The temperature is between 25.8 and 26.0 degrees celsius, yes the bigger the mass the greater the energy.
O The temperature is between 25.6 and 25.8 celsius, answer does not depend on mass.
O The temperature is between 25.0 and 25.2 celsius, answer does not depend on mass.
O The temperature is 25.5 and of course the more mass something has the greater energy will be needed to raise the temperature.
The temperature is 26.2 and if the mass is doubled so will be the change in temperature.
O The temperature is 25.9 degrees celsius and the answer does not depend on mass.
