Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 100DQ
Steel plates are commonly attached to each other with rivets. A rivet is a small metal cylinder, rounded on one end and blunt on the other end. After a hot rivet is inserted in a hole joining the two plates, its blunt end is rounded with a hammer, which is made easier by the hotness of the rivet. How does the hotness of the rivet also help to make a tight fit when it cools?

Rosy's mother has a taqueria and the griddle where she roasts the meat is made of iron, in a rectangular shape. When it is cold it remains uneven with the base that supports it, but when heated it expands and fits perfectly on said base. The temperature with which the meat is cooked reaches 125 °C and the ambient temperature is 38 °C. If the griddle measures 1 mx 0.8 Meters at room temperature, how large is the surface of the griddle at the temperature with which is the meat cooked?
•.First we must calculate the area of the sheet that is rectangular, from the dimensions provided.
What is the role of “loose” electrons in heat conductors?
(A) Loose electrons move quickly away from hot locations, making it impossible for energy to move and making the object a good insulator.
(B) Loose electrons absorb energy, giving materials a high specific heat capacity.
(C) Loose electrons vibrate and emit radiation that carries energy through the material at the speed of light.
(D) Loose electrons transfer energy rapidly through a solid.
A burning stove with a large flat rectangular surface on top has enough space for cooking, if desired.
The thickness of the rectangular surface is /= 47.3 cm and the stove is made of steel with a thermal
conductivity constant k= 50.2 W m-1.K-1. In the figure below, you can see what happens through
the rectangular surface with a greater detail. The arrow shows the direction of the heat flow and Tout
represents the temperature of the room, whereas Tin stands for temperature inside the stove. If the
cross sectional area of the rectangular surface is A = 3100 cm?, find the rate of heat transfer through
the rectangular surface for the case when Tin = 150°C and Tout = 26°C. H=
