Chapter 19: Q. 38 (page 544)
A 5.0 g ice cube at -20掳C is in a rigid, sealed container from which all the air has been evacuated. How much heat is required to change this ice cube into steam at 200掳C? Steam has CV = 1500 J/kgK and CP = 1960 J/kgK
15.9 kJ heat is required to change this ice cube into steam at 200掳C

FIGURE P19.62 shows a thermodynamic process followed by of helium.
a. Determine the pressure (in ), temperature (in ), and volume in of the gas at points 1,2 , and 3 . Put your results in a table for easy reading.
b. How much work is done on the gas during each of the three segments?
c. How much heat energy is transferred to or from the gas during each of the three segments?
You would like to put a solar hot water system on your roof, but you're not sure it's feasible. A reference book on solar energy shows that the ground-level solar intensity in your city is for at least 5 hours a day throughout most of the year. Assuming that a completely black collector plate loses energy only by radiation, and that the air temperature is , what is the equilibrium temperature of a collector plate directly facing the sun? Note that while a plate has two sides, only the side facing the sun will radiate because the opposite side will be well insulated.
Radiation from the head is a major source of heat loss from the human body. Model a head as a 20-cm-diameter, 20-cm-tall cylinder with a flat top. If the body鈥檚 surface temperature is 35掳C, what is the net rate of heat loss on a chilly 5掳C day? All skin, regardless of color, is effectively black in the infrared where the radiation occurs, so use an emissivity of 0.95.
Two cylinders each contain of a diatomic gas at and a pressure of . Cylinder A expands isothermally and cylinder B expands adiabatically until the pressure of each is .
a. What are the final temperature and volume of each?
b. Show both processes on a single diagram. Use an appropriate scale on both axes.
A container holds 1.0 g of oxygen at a pressure of 8.0 atm.
a. How much heat is required to increase the temperature by 100掳C at constant pressure?
b. How much will the temperature increase if this amount of heat energy is transferred to the gas at constant volume?
