3kg of water at 30°C is mixed with 0.5 kg of ice at -7°c. The specific heat for water is 4.187 kJ/kg°C, for ice 2.108 kJ/kgC. Calculate the amount of heat it would take to bring the ice from -7°C to 0°C. use

1

The heat it takes to warm the ice to 0°C cools the 30° water. What is the new temperature of the water?

1

How much heat does it take to melt 0.5kg of ice using the latent heat of fusion for water 336 kJ/kg

1

Using the heat you just calculated from the melting ice, what is the temperature of the water now?

1

Now we are mixing two different masses of water at two different temperatures to find the thermal equilibrium. You can set this up as
where x is the final temperature. solve for x.

We have talked about the three laws of thermodynamics before, see if you can match them to their more thermodynamic-y wording.

Draggable itemCorresponding Item
Law 2 - you can't break even
heat added to the system = increase of internal energy +external work done by the system
law 3 - you can't get out of the game
Heat will never flow from cold to hot by itself
law 1 - you can't win
The entropy of a system at absolute zero is a well defined constant

Which type of system transfers heat from a colder reservoir to a hotter reservoir?

  • Internal Combustion Engine
  • Air Conditioner
  • Steam Turbine
  • Refrigerator
  • Heat Engine
  • Heat Pump

If work is done on a system, does the internal energy of that system increase or decrease?

1

What does it mean that when energy is transformed it becomes less useful?

1

What is the relationship between the second law of thermodynamics and entropy

1

When air is quickly compressed, why does its temperature increase?

you cannot cool a kitchen by closing doors and windows but leaving the refrigerator open, but you can heat a kitchen by closing doors and windows and leaving an oven open. What is the difference?

1

Water evaporates from a salt solution and leaves behind salt crystals that have a higher degree of molecular order than the more randomly moving molecules in the saltwater. Has the entropy principle been violated? why or why not?

1

Why is it that 7 is the most common number to come up when someone is rolling two dice? And what does that have to do with thermodynamics?

1

an engine's efficiency can be, at most, 100% and then only really in ideal physics land

1

A modern internal combustion engine has a theoretical efficiency of about 50%, but their actual efficiency is closer to 20-30%. What does that mean?

1

A carnot cycle operates between a heat reservoir of 300.0°C and ( -100.0°C). Calculate the ideal efficiency of the engine. give your answer in the form of a percentage with four significant digits.

Calculate the Carnot efficiency of an OTEC power plant that operates on the temperature difference between deep 4℃ and 25℃ surface water?
