PROBLEM SOLVING
HEAT
What quantity of heat is required to raise the temperature of 450 grams of water from 15
C to 85 C? The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g/C
SOLUTION:
SOLUTION:
CONDUCTION
The outer surface of a 0.2 m thick concrete wall is kept at a temperature of -5C, while
the inner surface is kept at 20 C. The thermal conductivity of the concrete is 1.2 W/ (m *
K) Determine the heat loss through a wall 10 m long and 3 m high.
SOLUTION:
CONVECTION
The bowl of a large ice cream maker is at -15oC, having just been removed from the
freezer. If the bowl is 0.6 m in diameter, the ice cream mix fills the bowl to a depth of
0.55 m, the convective heat transfer coefficient is 220 W/m2K, and the amount of heat
transferred from the ice cream mix to the bowl is 4,300 W. What is the temperature of
the ice cream mix?
SOLUTION:
RADIATION:
What is the rate of heat transfer by radiation, with an unclothed person standing in a
dark room whose ambient temperature is 22.0ºC. The person has a normal skin
temperature of 33.0ºC and a surface area of 1.50 m2. The emissivity of skin is 0.97 in
the infrared, where the radiation takes place.
SOLUTION:
PRESSURE
Caleb is filling up water balloons for the physics Olympics balloon toss competition.
Caleb sets a 0.50 kg spherical water balloon on the kitchen table and notices that the
bottom of the balloon flattens until the pressure on the bottom is reduced to 630 N/m^2.
What is the area of the flat spot on the bottom of the balloon?
SOLUTION:
Wanda watches the fish in her tank and notices that the angelfish like to feed at the
water surface, while the catfish feed 0.300 below at the bottom of the tank. If the
average density of the water in the tank is 1000 kg/m^3, what is the pressure on the
catfish?
SOLUTION:
