A metal spoon and a wooden spoon are left overnight in a room. Why do we feel colder when we touch the metal spoon than when we touch the wooden one? a. Since metals usually have a lower heat capacity than non-metals, the metal spoon loose more heat to the room and consequently has a lower temperature b. Metals release heat faster than non-metals because of their higher thermal conductivity c. This is merely psychological since we are conditioned to think of metals as “cold” d. Metals absorb heat faster than non-metals because of their higher thermal conductivity

6. a. The heat flux applied to the walls of the biomass combustion furnace is 20 W/m2. The furnace walls have a thickness of 10 mm and a thermal conductivity of 12 W/m.K. If the wall surface temperature is measured to be 50oC on the left and 30oC on the right, prove that conduction heat transfer occurs at a steady state!b. Heating the iron cylinder on the bottom side is done by placing the iron on the hotplate. This iron has a length of 20 cm. The surface temperature of the hotplate is set at 300oC while the top side of the iron is in contact with the still outside air. To reach the desired hotplate temperature, it takes 5 minutes. Then it takes 15 minutes to measure the temperature of the upper side of the iron cylinder at 300oC. Show 3 proofs that heat transfer occurs transiently
V:01 Expert Q&A Done Question 1: In your own words, write down the differences between thermodynamic and heat transfer. (3 Marks) Question 2: Estimate the heat loss per square metre of surface through a brick wall 0.5 m thick when the inner surface is at 400 K and the outside surface is at 300 K. The thermal conductivity of the brick may be taken as 0.7 W/mK. (2 Marks) Question 3: A furnace is constructed with 0.20 m of firebrick, 0.10 m of insulating brick, and 0.20 m of building brick.

5. An irregularly shaped solid made of a material with a density of 3200 kg/m³ has a volume of 0.003 m3 and a surface area of 0.07 m². The thermal conductivity of the material is 300 W/m K, and its specific heat is 500 J/kg K. Initially, there is a 100°C difference between the solid and its environment, what is the approximate time it will take for this system to have the difference between its temperature and the environment to be one-third of the initial difference? Use h- 60 W/m-K for the environment. Express your answer in minutes.
31. The rate of heat conduction out of a window on a winter day is rapid enough to chill the air next to it. To see just how rapidly the windows transfer heat by conduction, calculate the rate of conduction in watts through a 3.00-m? window that is 0.635 cm thick (1/4 in) if the temperatures of the inner and outer surfaces are 5.00°C and –10.0°C, respectively. This rapid rate will not be maintained-the inner surface will cool, and even result in frost formation.

(English Unit) A 100-pound meat is moved to the cold storage room. During preparation for storage, the meat may warm up to 45°F. That means the meat must be cooled to 32°F before it will begin to freeze. The average latent heat of fusion amounts to about 90 Btu/lb for meat. After freezing, the meat is subcooled to the quick-freeze temperature of 14 oF. The meat has a specific heat below and above freezing point of 0.7 and 0.4 Btu/ lb-oR, respectively. Find the total heat removed from cooling BTU.
A child opens the door of the freezer that is turned off, to observe its operation. If the ambient temperature is 30°, what will be the behavior of the internal temperature of the freezer when it is opened and why? a. does not change, since there is no material between the environment and the interior of the freezer for heat exchange b. is increasing, because the convection between the environment and the air inside the refrigerator does not transfer heat from the outside to the center c. does not change, since there is no contact between the surface of the meat and the external environment d. increases, because sunlight falls on the meat, increasing the energy. Then, when turning on the freezer again, it is observed that the back of the freezer gradually warms up, and remains warm during the operation of the machine. The amount of thermal energy emitted by the freezer must be: a. equal to 0; the heating is due to a problem with the freezer b. Less than the energy drawn from inside the…
