- For a temperature increase of 10 at constant volume, what is the heat absorbed by (a) 3.0 mol of a dilute monatomic gas; (b) 0.50 mol of a dilute diatomic gas; and (c) 15 mol of a dilute polyatomic gas?arrow_forwardThe heat capacity of air is much smaller than that of liquid water, and relatively modest amounts of heat are therefore needed to change the temperature of air. This is one of the reasons why desert regions, though very hot during the day, are bitterly cold at night. The molar heat capacity of air at 298 K and 1.00 atm is approximately 21 J K−1 mol−1. Estimate how much energy is required to raise the temperature of the air in a room of dimensions 5.5 m × 6.5 m × 3.0 m by 10 °C. If losses are neglected, how long will it take a heater rated at 1.5 kW to achieve that increase, given that 1 W = 1 J s−1? ! I want to solve it using the "Q=cm△T" equation.arrow_forwardThe cross section radius of a bar of metal of length L and uniform coefficient of thermal conductivity k is expressed as r = (1 + x)1/2, where x is the distance from one end of the bar. Calculate the rate of heat transfer H if the two ends are kept at temperatures TH and TL respectivelyarrow_forward
- Assume a rod of length 0.2 m with the temperature at x = 0 maintained at 100°C. Assume a constant heat source of Q = 3x10° W/m³ along the length of the rod, a boundary heat flux of q = 3x106 W/m³ along the length of the rod, a boundary heat flux of q = 1.8x10 W/m² removing heat at x = 0.2 m, and thermal conductivity of k= 6000 W/m-°K. Assume the area of the rod is 0.4x10³ m². Use at least five linear elements and compute the temperature and flux distribution at each element node. Be sure to show the mesh, governing equations, and boundary conditions. A = 0.004 cm 2 Q= 3 x 10 ° 0.2 marrow_forwardSuppose 8.50 ✕ 105 J of energy are transferred to 1.79 kg of ice at 0°C. The latent heat of fusion and specific heat of water are Lf = 3.33 ✕ 105 J/kg and c = 4186 J (kg · °C) . HINT (a) Calculate the energy (in J) required to melt all the ice into liquid water. (Enter your answer to at least three significant figures.) J (b) How much energy (in J) remains to raise the temperature of the liquid water? (Enter your answer to at least three significant figures.) J (c) Determine the final temperature of the liquid water in Celsius. °Carrow_forwardYou take an aluminum cylinder with a mass m = (315± 2) g out of a furnace at temperature T = (250 ± 5)C °and place it in a large bath of cool water. The final 1 temperature of the cylinder and water is T2 = (29 ±1) C° . How much heat flows from the cylinder to the water, and what are the absolute and relative errors in the heat transfer out of the cylinder? The heat transfer is given by Q = mc T ∆where ∆T is the change in temperature and c = (0.215± 0.005)cal/g C is ⋅t°he specific heat of aluminum.arrow_forward
