Chapter 18: Problem 3

Some water is tightly sealed in a perfectly insulated container. Is it possible to change the water temperature? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified
No, the water temperature won't change because the container is perfectly insulated and sealed, hence no heat transfer or work can be done.

Step by step solution

01

Understand the Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics is a field of physics that explains how energy changes from one form to another. Heat is a form of energy and its transfer leads to a change in temperature.
02

Heat Transfer

Heat transfer can occur in three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation. In this scenario, the perfectly insulated container prevents these three methods of heat transfer.
03

Effect on Water Temperature

Since the container is perfectly insulated, it does not allow the transfer of heat. As the container is sealed tightly, it also prevents external work done on the system. Therefore, according to the First Law of Thermodynamics, there can be no change in the temperature of the water.

Experimental studies show that the \(p V\) curve for a frog's lung can be approximated by \(p=10 v^{3}-67 v^{2}+220 v,\) with \(v\) in \(\mathrm{mL}\) and \(p\) in \(\mathrm{Pa}\). Find the work done when such a lung inflates from zero to \(4.5 \mathrm{mL}\) volume.

Your class on alternative habitats is designing an underwater habitat. A small diving bell will be lowered to the habitat. A hatch at the bottom of the bell is open, so water can enter to compress the air and thus keep the air pressure inside equal to the pressure of the surrounding water. The bell is lowered slowly enough that the inside air remains at the same temperature as the water. But the water temperature increases with depth in such a way that the air pressure and volume are related by \(p=p_{0} \sqrt{V_{0} / V},\) where \(V_{0}=17 \mathrm{m}^{3}\) and \(p_{0}=1.0\) atm are the surface values. Suppose the diving bell's air volume cannot be less than \(8.7 \mathrm{m}^{3}\) and the pressure must not exceed 1.5 atm when submerged. Are these criteria met?

During cycling, the human body typically releases stored energy from food at the rate of \(500 \mathrm{W},\) and produces about \(120 \mathrm{W}\) of mechanical power. At what rate does the body produce heat during cycling?

The temperature of the water in a jar is raised by violently shaking the jar. Which of the terms \(Q\) and \(W\) in the first law of thermodynamics is involved in this case?
