  Problem 10

  Even when shut down after a period of normal use, a large commercial nuclear reactor transfers thermal energy at the rate of 150 MW by the radioactive decay of fission products. This heat transfer causes a rapid increase in temperature if the cooling system fails (1 watt = 1 joule/second or 1 W = 1 J/s and 1 MW = 1 megawatt) . (a) Calculate the rate of temperature increase in degrees Celsius per second (${\text{C}}^{\circ }\text{/s}$) if the mass of the reactor core is $1.60\times 10^5\text{ kg}$ kg and it has an average specific heat of 0.3349 kJ/kgo ⋅ C . (b) How long would it take to obtain a temperature increase of $2000^{\circ }\text{C}$, which could cause some metals holding the radioactive materials to melt? (The initial rate of temperature increase would be greater than that calculated here because the heat transfer is concentrated in a smaller mass. Later, however, the temperature increase would slow down because the $5\times 10^5\text{ kg}$ steel containment vessel would also begin to heat up.)

  One $30.0^{\circ }\text{C}$ day the relative humidity is 75.0% , and that evening the temperature drops to $20.0^{\circ }\text{C}$, well below the dew point. (a) How many grams of water condense from each cubic meter of air? (b) How much heat transfer occurs by this condensation? (c) What temperature increase could this cause in dry air?

  Problem 67

  Large meteors sometimes strike the Earth, converting most of their kinetic energy into thermal energy. (a) What is the kinetic energy of a $10^9\text{ kg}$ meteor moving at 25.0 km/s? (b) If this meteor lands in a deep ocean and 80% of its kinetic energy goes into heating water, how many kilograms of water could it raise by $5.0{\text{C}}^{\circ }$ (c) Discuss how the energy of the meteor is more likely to be deposited in the ocean and the likely effects of that energy.

  Problem 68

  Frozen waste from airplane toilets has sometimes been accidentally ejected at high altitude. Ordinarily it breaks up and disperses over a large area, but sometimes it holds together and strikes the ground. Calculate the mass of $0^{\circ }\text{C}$ ice that can be melted by the conversion of kinetic and gravitational potential energy when a 20.0 kg piece of frozen waste is released at 12.0 km altitude while moving at 250 m/s and strikes the ground at 100 m/s (since less than 20.0 kg melts, a significant mess results).

  Problem 69

  (a) A large electrical power facility produces 1600 MW of “waste heat,” which is dissipated to the environment in cooling towers by warming air flowing through the towers by $5.00^{\circ }\text{C}$. What is the necessary flow rate of air in ${\text{m}}^3\text{/s}$? (b) Is your result consistent with the large cooling towers used by many large electrical power plants?

  Problem 70

  (a) Suppose you start a workout on a Stairmaster, producing power at the same rate as climbing 116 stairs per minute. Assuming your mass is 76.0 kg and your efficiency is 20.0% , how long will it take for your body temperature to rise $1.00{\text{C}}^{\circ }$ if all other forms of heat transfer in and out of your body are balanced? (b) Is this consistent with your experience in getting warm while exercising?

  Problem 71

  A 76.0-kg person suffering from hypothermia comes indoors and shivers vigorously. How long does it take the heat transfer to increase the person’s body temperature by $2.00^{\circ }\text{C}$ if all other forms of heat transfer are balanced?

  Problem 72

  In certain large geographic regions, the underlying rock is hot. Wells can be drilled and water circulated through the rock for heat transfer for the generation of electricity. (a) Calculate the heat transfer that can be extracted by cooling $1.00{\text{ km}}^3$ of granite by $100{\text{C}}^{\circ }$ . (b) How long will this take if heat is transferred at a rate of 300 MW, assuming no heat transfers back into the 1.00 km of rock by its surroundings?

  Problem 73

  Heat transfers from your lungs and breathing passages by evaporating water. (a) Calculate the maximum number of grams of water that can be evaporated when you inhale 1.50 L of $37^{\circ }\text{C}$ air with an original relative humidity of 40.0%. (Assume that body temperature is also $37^{\circ }\text{C}$ .) (b) How many joules of energy are required to evaporate this amount? (c) What is the rate of heat transfer in watts from this method, if you breathe at a normal resting rate of 10.0 breaths per minute?

  Problem 75

  Hot air rises because it has expanded. It then displaces a greater volume of cold air, which increases the buoyant force on it. (a) Calculate the ratio of the buoyant force to the weight of $50.0^{\circ }\text{C}$ air surrounded by $20.0^{\circ }\text{C}$ air. (b) What energy is needed to cause $1.00{\text{ m}}^3$ of air to go from $20.0^{\circ }\text{C}$ to $50.0^{\circ }\text{C}$? (c) What gravitational potential energy is gained by this volume of air if it rises 1.00 m? Will this cause a significant cooling of the air?

  (a) What is the temperature increase of an 80.0 kg person who consumes 2500 kcal of food in one day with 95.0% of the energy transferred as heat to the body? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which premise or assumption is responsible?

  Problem 77

  A slightly deranged Arctic inventor surrounded by ice thinks it would be much less mechanically complex to cool a car engine by melting ice on it than by having a water-cooled system with a radiator, water pump, antifreeze, and so on. (a) If 80.0% of the energy in 1.00 gal of gasoline is converted into “waste heat” in a car engine, how many kilograms of $0^{\circ }\text{C}$ ice could it melt? (b) Is this a reasonable amount of ice to carry around to cool the engine for 1.00 gal of gasoline consumption? (c) What premises or assumptions are unreasonable?

  A meteorite 1.20 cm in diameter is so hot immediately after penetrating the atmosphere that it radiates 20.0 kW of power.

(c) Which premise or assumption is responsible?
