Consider a sphere and a cylinder of equal volume made of copper. Both the sphere and the cylinder are initially at the same temp

erature and are exposed to convection in the same environment. Which do you think will cool faster

Answer: The cylinder

Explanation:

Among all other solid shapes, the sphere has the smallest area for a given volume.

By experiment, the ratio of the radius of a sphere to a cylinder of equal volume is less than 1.

Recall;

That the Rate of transfer of convective heat (Q) = h × A ×change in temperature.

Where ,

h= the co efficient of convective heat transfer

A= the cross sectional area.

As such, since the sphere has a smaller surface area relative to the cylinder, the sphere transfers heat slower than the cylinder.

Therefore, if the sphere and cylinder are exposed to convection in the same environment, then, the cylinder cools faster.

PS; the more the Area, the higher the rate of heat transfer and vice versa.

How does a gas do work?
Triss [41]
Your answer would be C, "By conserving energy"! A gas can do work through something called the First Law of Thermodynamics. Heat that energy used by the gas during this "work" cannot be created or destroyed however it can be transferred and converted. This energy can only be stored during these processes, not removed. An example of this would be gas in a cylindrical object such as a piston. When the gas is heated, it expands and moves the piston upwards. When it expands, it stores that energy it gains through the heat given.

I hope this helps! (:
