One way to keep the contents of a garage from becoming too cold on a night when a severe subfreezing temperature is forecast is to put a tub of water in the garage. If the mass of the water is and its initial temperature is, (a) how much energy must the water transfer to its surroundings in order to freeze completely and (b) what is the lowest possible temperature of the water and its surroundings until that happens?
A hot object is dropped into a thermally insulated container of water, and the object and water are then allowed to come to thermal equilibrium. The experiment is repeated twice, with different hot objects. All three objects have the same mass and initial temperature and the mass and initial temperature of the water are the same in the three experiments. For each of the experiments, Fig. 18-29 gives graphs of the temperatures Tof the object and the water versus time t. Rankthe graphs according to the specific heats of the objects, greatest first.

Evaporative cooling of beverages. A cold beverage can be kept cold even on a warm day if it is slipped into a porous ceramic container that has been soaked in water. Assume that energy lost to evaporation matches the net energy gained via the radiation exchange through the top and side surfaces. The container and beverage have temperature , the environment has temperature , and the container is a cylinder with radius and height . Approximate the emissivity as, and neglect other energy exchanges. At what rate is the container losing water mass?
Figure 18-26 shows three different arrangements of materials 1, 2, and 3 to form a wall. The thermal conductivities are . The left side of the wall is higher than the right side. Rank the arrangements according to (a) the (steady state) rate of energy conduction through the wall and (b) the temperature difference across material 1, greatest first.

The initial length L, change in temperature , and change in length of four rods are given in the following table. Rank the rods according to their coefficients of thermal expansion, greatest first.
