Answer:

Best at conductioning heat- Solid

Explanation:

<u><em>In order for heat to conduct it has to pass from particle to particle.</em></u>

A solid has particles closely compacted so the heat is able to tranfer quickly from particle to particle.

A liquid has isn't as compacted it actually has enough space to slide over each other

A gas has very far apart particles and takes heat longer to transfer from one particle to another.

The latent heat of fusion of alcohol is 25 kcal/kg and its melting point is -114 o C. It has a specific heat of 0.60 in its liqu

UNO [17]

Answer:

=170kcal

Explanation:

We first calculate the amount of energy required to melt the alcohol using the formula: MLf, where Lf is the latent heat of fussion

We then calculate amount of heat required to raise the temperature of liquid alcohol to -14° C using MC∅. We then add the two.

Thus ΔH=MLf+MC∅

ΔH=2kg×25kcal/kg+ 2kg×(0.6kcal/kg.K×(-14-⁻114)

=50kcal+120kcal

=170kcal

An ordinary egg can be approximated as a 5.5-cm diameter sphere. The egg is initially at a uniform temperature of 8°C and is dro

kupik [55]

Answer:

a) $Q_{in} = 13.742\,kW$ , b) $\Delta S = 370.15\,\frac{kJ}{K}$

Explanation:

a) The heat transfered to the egg is computed by the First Law of Thermodynamics:

$Q_{in} +U_{sys,1} - U_{sys,2} = 0$

$Q_{in} = U_{sys,2} - U_{sys,1}$

$Q_{in} = \rho_{egg}\cdot \left(\frac{4\pi}{3}\cdot r^{3}\right)\cdot c \cdot (T_{2}-T_{1})$

$Q_{in} = \left(1020\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{4\pi}{3}\right)\cdot (0.025\,m)^{3}\cdot \left(3.32\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} \right)\cdot (70\,^{\textdegree}C - 8\,^{\textdegree}C)$

$Q_{in} = 13.742\,kW$

b) The amount of entropy generation is determined by the Second Law of Thermodynamics:

$\Delta S = \frac{Q_{in}}{T_{in}}$

$\Delta S = \frac{13.742\,kJ}{370.15\,K}$

$\Delta S = 370.15\,\frac{kJ}{K}$
