In some countries, liquid nitrogen is used on daily trucks instead of mechanical refrigerators. A 3.00-hour delivery trip requires 200 L of liquid nitrogen, which has a density of 808 kg/m3. (a) Calculate the heat transfer necessary to evaporate this amount of liquid nitrogen and raise its temperature to 3.00 ℃. (Use cp and assume it is constant over the temperature range.) This value is the amount of cooling the liquid nitrogen supplies. (b) What is this heat transfer rate in kilowatt-hours? (c) Compare the amount of cooling obtained from melting an identical mass of 0-℃ ice with that from evaporating the liquid nitrogen.

- An ideal gas initially at 300 K undergoes an isobaric expansion at 2.50 kPa. If the volume increases from 1.00 m3 to 3.00 m3 and 12.5 kJ is transferred to the gas by heat, what are (a) the change in its internal energy and (b) its final temperature?arrow_forwardIn 1993, the U.S. government instituted a requirement that all room air conditioners sold in the United States must have an energy efficiency ratio (EER) of 10 or higher. The EER is defined as the ratio of the cooling capacity of the air conditioner, measured in British thermal units per hour, or Btu/h, to its electrical power requirement in watts. (a) Convert the EER of 10.0 to dimensionless form, using the conversion 1 Btu = 1 055 J. (b) What is the appropriate name for this dimensionless quantity? (c) In the 1970s, it was common to find room air conditioners with EERs of 5 or lower. State how the operating costs compare for 10 000-Btu/h air conditioners with EERs of 5.00 and 10.0. Assume each air conditioner operates for 1 500 h during the summer in a city where electricity costs 17.0 per kWh.arrow_forwardA tube leads from a flask in which water is boiling under atmospheric pressure to a calorimeter. The mass of the calorimeter is 150 g, its specific heat capacity is 0.1 cal/g/°C, and it contains originally 340 g of water at 15°C. Steam is allowed to condense in the calorimeter until its temperature increases to 71°C, after which total mass of calorimeter and contents are found to be 525 g. Compute the heat of condensation of steam.arrow_forward
- Question 9: a) Some water has frozen in a gutter. The gutter is a cylinder that has a 3 inch diameter and is 8 feet long. If this volume of ice starts to melt, how much heat energy, in Joules, does it take to raise the temperature of the ice from −7 ◦C to 0◦C? The density of ice is 916.9kg/m3 .b) Now that the ice is at 0◦C, how much heat does it take to melt all of the ice into liquid water at 0◦C? c) Finally, how much heat does it take to raise the temperature of the liquid water by 7 more degrees C? Assume the specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg◦C. Question 10: a) Now suppose the entire volume of the gutter from Question 9 is filled with water which is flowing at a rate of 40 cm3 per second through the gutter. The gutter is connected to a drip irrigation system and splits into six tubes, each going to a different tree. Each of the irrigation tubes is 1 cm in diameter. What is the flow rate through a single irrigation tube in milliliters per second? b) What is the velocity of water…arrow_forwardIn some countries, liquid nitrogen is used on dairy trucks instead of mechanical refrigerators.
