The average rate at which energy is conducted outward through the ground surface in North America is, and the average thermal conductivity of the near-surface rocks is. Assuming a surface temperature of, find the temperature at a depth of(near the base of the crust). Ignore the heat generated by the presence of radioactive elements.
A small electric immersion heater is used to heat of water for a cup of instant coffee. The heater is labeled 鈥鈥 (it converts electrical energy to thermal energy at this rate). Calculate the time required to bring all this water from, ignoring any heat losses.
A 0.530 kgsample of liquid water and a sample of ice are placed in a thermally insulated container. The container also contains a device that transfers energy as heat from the liquid water to the ice at a constant rate P, until thermal equilibrium is reached. The temperatures Tof the liquid water and the ice are given in Figure as functions of time t; the horizontal scale is set by(a) What is rate P? (b) What is the initial mass of the ice in the container? (c) When thermal equilibrium is reached, what is the mass of the ice produced in this process?

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?
A flow calorimeteris a device used to measure the specific heat of a liquid. Energy is added as heat at a known rate to a stream of the liquid as it passes through the calorimeter at a known rate. Measurement of the resulting temperature difference between the inflow and the outflow points of the liquid stream enables us to compute the specific heat of the liquid. Suppose a liquid of density flows through a calorimeter at the rate of .When energy is added at the rate of by means of an electric heating coil, a temperature difference of is established in steady-state conditions between the inflow and the outflow points.What is the specific heat of the liquid?
