If you place 0oCice into 0oC water in an insulated container, what will happen? Will some ice melt, will more water freeze, or will neither take place?
At 0oC the amount of ice melted and the amount of frozen water are the same.

Consider a new model of commercial airplane having its brakes tested as a part of the initial flight permission procedure. The airplane is brought to take off speed and then stopped with the brakes alone. Construct a problem in which you calculate the temperature increase of the brakes during this process. You may assume most of the kinetic energy of the airplane is converted to thermal energy in the brakes and surrounding materials, and that little escapes. Note that the brakes are expected to become so hot in this procedure that they ignite and, in order to pass the test, the airplane must be able to withstand the fire for some time without a general conflagration.
Consider a person outdoors on a cold night. Construct a problem in which you calculate the rate of heat transfer from the person by all three heat transfer methods. Make the initial circumstances such that at rest the person will have a net heat transfer and then decide how much physical activity of a chosen type is necessary to balance the rate of heat transfer. Among the things to consider are the size of the person, type of clothing, initial metabolic rate, sky conditions, amount of water evaporated, and volume of air breathed. Of course, there are many other factors to consider and your instructor may wish to guide you in the assumptions made as well as the detail of analysis and method of presenting your results.
(a) Calculate the rate of heat transfer by radiation from a car radiator at 110掳C into a 50.0潞C environment, if the radiator has an emissivity of 0.750 and a\({\bf{1}}{\bf{.20}}\;{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{2}}}\)surface area. (b) Is this a significant fraction of the heat transfer by an automobile engine? To answer this, assume a horsepower of 200 hp (1.5 kW) and the efficiency of automobile engines as 25%.
Radiation makes it impossible to stand close to a hot lava flow. Calculate the rate of heat transfer by radiation from\({\bf{1}}{\bf{.00}}\;{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{2}}}\)of 1200潞C fresh lava into 30.0潞C surroundings, assuming lava鈥檚 emissivity is 1.00.
Freeze-dried foods have been dehydrated in a vacuum. During the process, the food freezes and must be heated to facilitate dehydration. Explain both how the vacuum speeds up dehydration and why the food freezes as a result.
