Chapter 10, Problem 6RQ
  1. 5. You enjoy drinking coffee but are particular about the temperature (T) of your coffee. If the temperature is greater than or equal to 70 degrees Celsius [0C], the coffee is too hot to drink; less than or equal to 45°C is too cold by your standards. Your coffee pot produces coffee at the initial temperature (T0). The cooling of your coffee can be modeled by the following equation, where time (t) and the cooling factor (k) are in units per second:

    T = T0ekt

    1. a. At the top of the worksheet, create an area where the user can modify four properties of the coffee. For a sample test case, enter the following data.
      • Initial temperature (T0); for the initial problem, set to 80°C.
      • Cooling factor (k); set to 0.001 per second (s–1].
      • Temperature above which coffee is “Too Hot” to drink (Thot); set to 70°C.
      • Temperature below which coffee is “Too Cold” to drink (Tcold); set to 45°C.
    2. b. Create a temperature profile for the coffee:
      • In column A, generate a time range of 0–300 seconds, in 15-second intervals.
      • In column B, generate the temperature of the coffee, using the equation given and the input parameters set by the user (T0 and k).
    3. c. In column B, the temperature values should appear on a red background if the coffee is too hot to drink, and a blue background if it is too cold using conditional formatting.
  2. d. In column C, create a warning next to each temperature that says “Do Not Drink” if the calculated temperature in column B is too hot or too cold in comparison with the temperature values the user enters.

A sample worksheet is shown here for the test case described in part (a).

Q8): To find how much heat is required to bring a kettle of water to its boiling point, you are asked to calculate the specific heat of water at 61°C. The specific heat of water is given as a function of time in Table below. Temperature, T Specific heat, C₂ (°C) J kg-°C 22 42 52 82 100 4181 4179 4186 4199 4217 Determine the value of the specific heat at 7=61°C using the direct T method of interpolation and a third order polynomial. Find the absolute relative approximate error for the third order polynomial approximation (Lagrange Method).
Thermodynamics Answer the following problem with complete solutions. Write legibly   A balloon is filled with pure oxygen at 10 ℃. The balloon is released from the bottom of a water-filled testing pool and floats 30 m to the water surface (where the atmospheric pressure is standard). The volume of the balloon is 3,000 cm^3. The temperature is 25 ℃ at the surface of the water, and the water temperature at the bottom of the pool is 10 ℃. What is the volume of the balloon at the surface after it has come into thermal equilibrium with the surroundings
1. For the following concentration expressions, indicate whether they are uniform or nonuniform and in how many dimensions (OD, 1D, 2D, or 3D), and steady or unsteady. Then for the following control volume and origin, and table of constants, use Excel or Matlab to graph profiles that show how concentration changes within the control volume and over time to a limit of 20 for the following: C(x,0,0,0), C(0,y,0,0), C(0,0,z,0) and C(0,0,0,t). On each graph, show which parameters are held constant, the CV boundaries, and the point where all four plots overlap. 20 C(x=0) 10 a 0.0001 b 0.001 | 20 0.01 k 0.1 100 All of the following functions are C(space, time) and so not necessarily just x as suggested. a.
