Answer:

80 Kcal

Explanation:

Specific heat is the energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree. Its units are kJ/kg·K or kJ/kg·°C in the SI system.

There are two types of specific heat: 1) when the process is at constant volume. 2) When it's at constant pressure. In the case of liquids, the value is the same for the two cases. The specific heat of water is equal to 4.18kJ/kg·°C (in that range of temperatures)

The formula which relates energy needed, specific heat, change in temperature, and mass of the substance is the following:

ΔU=m·c·(T2-T1)

T2: final temperature of the substance

T1: initial temperature of the substance

c: specific heat of the substance

m: the mass of the substance

ΔU: energy required to raise the temperature the substance from T1 to T2

Plugging the given values values on the equation:

ΔU=4kg·(4.18kJ/kg·°C)·(45°C-25°C)

ΔU=334.4kJ

Now, it only rests to convert from kJ to cal:

1kJ=0.2390kcal

So:

334.4kJ=334.4*0.2390kcal=79.9kcal≈80kcal

So the energy needed to heat 4 kg of water from 25°C to 45°C is 80kcal

A cylindrical resistor element on a circuit board dissipates 1.2 W of power. The resistor is 2 cm long, and has a diameter of 0.

34kurt

Answer:

(a) The resistor disspates 103680 joules during a 24-hour period.

(b) The heat flux of the resistor is approximately 4340.589 watts per square meter.

(c) The fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces is 0.045.

Explanation:

(a) The amount of heat dissipated ( $Q$ ), measured in joules, by the cylindrical resistor is the power multiplied by operation time ( $\Delta t$ ), measured in hours. That is:

$Q = \dot Q \cdot \Delta t$ (1)

If we know that $\dot Q = 1.2\,W$ and $\Delta t = 86400\,s$ , then the amount of heat dissipated by the resistor is:

$Q = (1.2\,W)\cdot (86400\,s)$

$Q = 103680\,J$

The resistor disspates 103680 joules during a 24-hour period.

(b) The heat flux ( $Q'$ ), measured in watts per square meter, is the heat transfer rate divided by the area of the cylinder ( $A$ ), measured in square meters:

$Q' = \frac{\dot Q}{A}$ (2)

$Q' = \frac{\dot Q}{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot D^{2}+\pi\cdot D \cdot h }$ (3)

Where:

$D$ - Diameter, measured in meters.

$h$ - Length, measured in meters.

If we know that $\dot Q = 1.2\,W$ , $D = 4\times 10^{-3}\,m$ and $h = 2\times 10^{-2}\,m$ , the heat flux of the resistor is:

$Q' = \frac{1.2\,W}{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{2}+\pi\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)\cdot (2\times 10^{-2}\,m) }$

$Q' \approx 4340.589\,\frac{W}{m^{2}}$

The heat flux of the resistor is approximately 4340.589 watts per square meter.

(c) Since heat is uniformly transfered, then the fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces ( $r$ ), no unit, is the ratio of the top and bottom surfaces to total surface:

$r = \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot D^{2}}{A}$ (3)

If we know that $A \approx 2.765\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}$ and $D = 4\times 10^{-3}\,m$ , then the fraction is:

$r = \frac{\frac{\pi}{2}\cdot (4\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{2} }{2.765\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}}$

$r = 0.045$

The fraction of heat dissipated from the top and bottom surfaces is 0.045.

Answer:

Hey

Yes, this is true.

As some people have it wrong, waves in the water (ocean) are not waves of moving water, rather the wave is moving through the water. A wave is a disturbance of a medium not the meduim moving.
