Question

Un casquillo de cobre de 8 kilogramos tiene que calentarse de 25 a 140 grados Celsius con el fin de expandirlo pata que se ajuste sobre un eje. ¿Cuanto calor se requirió?

Answer 1

Answer:

354200J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of copper bushing = 8kg

Initial temperature  = 25°C

Final temperature  = 140°C

Unknown:

Quantity of heat required to heat this mass = ?

Solution:

The amount of heat required to heat mass from one temperature to another is given by;

                  H = m c Δt

where m is the mass

          c  is the specific heat

        Δt is the change in temperature

C is a constant and for copper, its value is 385J/kg°C

 Input the parameters;

            H = 8 x 385 x (140 - 25) = 354200J
