Q1: If a calorimeter is not assumed to be adiabatic, how would one calculate the heat transfer? Guide Questions: What are the parameters to be considered and the equations to be used? What law of thermodynamics does this transfer of heat to the surroundings touch? Is an adiabatic system automatically considered as a closed system? Please help me understand by also attaching a reference/book/journal article. This would help me in my essay. Thank you.
The left side of this equation tells how much energy Q the cylinder gives to the water while it cools. The right side of this equation tells how much energy Q the water and aluminum cup absorb from the cylinder to warm up. Because it is the same energy, they are equal. What is known in this equation? Mcyl 411.7 g, malum 46.5 g, malum+water = 175 g Can you find: mwater =? g Twater = Talum = 20°C (water and cup of room temperature) 90°C, T; = 35°C (hot cylinder and cool "cylinder+cup+water" temperatures) Tcyl kCal Calum = 0.22, Cwater 1 (specific heat of water and aluminum, measured in units kg-°C What are we looking for is Ccul - How we find it? Plug all the numbers into the equation (1), Ccul will be one unknown which you can calculate from the equation. Important, convert all the masses from grams to kilograms! After you find Ccyl, compare it to known value for the copper 0.093(our cylinder is made out of copper). |Ceyl -0.093| % : · 100% 0.093
Conduction Heat Transfer X material (a) material (b) . both (a) and (b) have the same thermal conductivity the temperature distribution is independent of thermal conductivity it's not that simple 9. Fin efficiency is defined as: • tanh (mL) (hP/k Ac)1/2 (heat transfer with fin) / (heat transfer without fin) (actual heat transfer through fin) / (heat transfer assuming all fin is at T = Tb) (Tx=L-Tf)/(Tb-Tf) 10. For an infinite fin, the temperature distribution is given by: (T-Tf)/(Tb-Tf)= e-mx. The heat flow through the fin is therefore given by: k (Tb-Tf)/L ● zero, because the fin is infinite ● infinite because the fin is infinite ● (Tb-Tf) (hP/k Ac)1/2 ● (Tb – Tf) (h P / k Ac)1/2 tanh (mL) 11. The Biot number, Bi, is defined as: • Bi=hk/L • Bi=hL/k • Bi= k/LH • Bi=qL/k • Bi=p UL/k 12.

Wind power is defined as the use of air flow through wind turbines to provide the mechanical force to generate electricity. Wind power is an alternative to burning fossil fuels, and is renewable and produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation. Modern horizontal-axis wind turbines often use three blades. Theoretically, the maximum power P (unit: watts) that a three-blade wind turbine can extract from the wind power can be calculated as: P = pAv³C₁. . (Equation 1) where p is the air density (kg/m³), A is the sweep area of the turbine (m²) and can be calculated from the length of the turbine blades, and v is the wind speed (m/s). Cp is the power coefficient that is unique to each turbine type. This coefficient represents the amount of kinetic energy from the wind that is captured by the turbine. From the Betz's limit law we know that the best power conversion possible is Cp,max = 0.59. Part 1 Given the following data: Blade length /= 50 m Air density p= 1.5 kg/m³ Power…

A heat pump is an electrical device that heats a building by pumping heat in from the cold outside. In other words, it's the same as a refrigerator, but its purpose is to warm the hot reservoir rather than to cool the cold reservoir (even though it does both). Let us define the following standard symbols, all taken to be positive by convention:Th = temperature inside buildingTe = temperature outsideQh heat pumped into building in 1 day Qe = heat taken from outdoors in 1 dayW = electrical energy used by heat pump in 1 day Explain why a heat pump is better than an electric furnace, which simply converts electrical work directly into heat. (Include some numerical estimates. )

Latent heat of fusion is the heat given up as a substance freezes. The latentheat of fusion for water is 144 British thermal units per pound (Btu/lb). Thismeans that 144 Btu are given up for each pound of water that freezes. Howmany British thermal units of heat are given up when 4,000 pounds of waterfreeze?
An electric hot water heater consumes 3.1 kilowatts of electricity and converts it to heat. How long will it take the water heater to heat a 67 gallon tank of water from 10 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius? (1 kilogram of water is 0.37 gallons, 1 Calorie = 4200 J). It may be helpful to refer back to the weekly handout for guidance on this problem. Your final answer should be in minutes (rounded to the nearest 10 minutes).
A house wall is composed of 3 layers in series to each other. There is an Aluminum layer that is 4 cm thick, Copper layer that is 6 cm think and Gold layer that is 3 cm thick.

If we wanted to supply all the electricity needs for New York City (NYC), with a popula- tion of about 10 million people, using photovoltaics technology, how much land area would we need? What other elements would be required for such an idea to work for NYC? How large of an investment would this involve, and how would the price of electricity in ¢ per kWeh have to increase in order to recover that investment in 10 years at an interest rate of 8%? For comparison, the average New Yorker paid 12¢/kWeh in 2002.
