New Problems reloads the page with new variable values in all questions. You must do this after grading the test to rework it another time.
Make sure to calculate your answers in SI units unless specified otherwise .
1) grams of ice are added to grams of water at a temperature of oC. What is the final temperature at equilibrium (see sheet 18') (Use 79.7 cal/g for the latent heat of fusion of water) ? Indicate with a positive (negative) sign whether all (not all) ice melts.
2) grams of steam at oC are added to grams of water at 100 oC. How much water is left over at equilibrium (see sheet 19'; hint: not evaporating all the water with the hot steam is analogous to not melting all the ice with the hot water in Ch13_1 #6; use 0.5 cal g-1 oC-1 for the specific heat of water vapor and 540 cal g-1 for the latent heat of vaporization ) ? Indicate with a positive (negative) sign whether the final temperature is greater than 100 (is 100) oC.
3) A window pane with an m2 area separates a room at 20 oC from the outside air at -oC. What is the power conducted through the mm thick window pane (see sheet 22; use for the thermal conductivity of glass 0.8 W m-1 oC-1) ? Indicate with a positive (negative) sign whether a styrofoam sheet of the same dimensions as the window pane conducts more (less) power.
4) It takes kcal to melt the amount of ice in a styrofoam box with a total wall area of m2 and 1 cm thickness. How long does it take to melt the ice if the temperature outside the box is oC (see sheet 22,24,25 use for the thermal conductivity of styrofoam 0.03 W m-1 oC-1) ? Indicate with a positive (negative) sign whether you can (cannot) calculate the amount of ice present in the box.
5) An object with an emissivity of and a surface area of m2 radiates a power of W. Assume that the emitted power by the surrounding of the object is negligible and calculate the temperature of the object in oC (see sheet 27,29).
6) A naked person with a surface area of m2 and a skin temperature of oC rests in a room where the walls are at 0 oC. If the emissivity of the skin is assumed to be what is the net rate of energy loss of the person (heat loss) due to radiation (see sheet 26,27) ? Indicate with a positive (negative) sign whether you can (cannot) neglect the power emitted by the walls and absorbed by the person for our typical 1% accuracy we work with.
