1. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. If you have 1.8 kg of dry ice, what volume will it occupy if you heat it enough to turn it into a gas at a temperature of 20°C?

2. How much work is done on the gas in the process shown in the figure?

3. If a person has a dangerously high fever, submerging her in ice water is a bad idea, but an ice pack can help to quickly bring her body temperature down. How many grams of ice at 0°C will be melted in bringing down a 68 kg patient's fever from 40°C to 39°C?

4. Seals may cool themselves by using thermal windows, patches on their bodies with much higher than average surface temperature. Suppose a seal has a 0.030 m^2 thermal window at a temperature of 30°C. If the seal's surroundings are a frosty -20°C, what is the net rate of energy loss by radiation? Assume an emissivity equal to that of a human.

5. What is the tension in the string in the figure?

  • Rate of heat supplied from a pump

    This heat exchanger is located inside the sir handler of a house heat pump system and receives heat from the heat pump. The heat pump receives heat from air outside the house that acts as a heat source at 10°C.

  • Heat engine

    Heat supplied= Work done / Efficiency Work done= 100 kJ Therefore Minimum Heat supplied= 188.57 kJ =100/53.03% (minimum heat supplied is at maximum efficiency) Work done = Heat supplied - Heat lost or Heat lost

  • Specific Heat of Ice and Calorimetry

    of ice = 334,000 J/Kg or 334 J/g Heat = mass x specific heat capacity x change in temperature Step 1: Calculate the heat required to melt all ice: Heat required to change the temperature of ice from -78 to 0 degrres

  • Heat flow: conduction and convection

    In convection, particles which are close to source of heat energy, they absorb the heat energy, move away and transfer heat energy to particles with lower energy. In liquids, heat is transferred through convection process.

  • Specific Heat Capacity.

    Specific heat capacity (or specific heat) Specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat energy required to raise temperature of unit mass of the substance through unit temperature difference.

  • Heat Conversion of Ice to Water

    This process consumes 10kCal of heat (latent heat of fusion = latent heat of freezing: one is absorbed and one is released) Now we have to convert water at 0C to water at 80.5C. This occurs by absorbing heat.

  • Heat and Thermodynamics: Change of state

    Latent heat of vaporization of water is 2256 KJ/Kg. Thank you for using Brainmass. The following posting provides a conceptual discussion about heat, temperature, latent heat, specific heat and change of state from solid to liquid etc.

  • heat needed to raise the temperature of liquid water

    149431 heat needed to raise the temperature of liquid water What is the molar heat capacity of liquid water? What is the heat capacity of 160 grams of liquid water?

  • Heat Transfer and Insulated Thermos

    We need the heat of fusion of ice (amount of heat required to melt 1 g of ice) We also need the specific heat of water (usually 4.184 J/C g) Heat gained by ice will be the heat taken to melt all ice, and then the amount of heat required to heat
