- Samples A and B are at different initial temperatures when they are placed in a thermally insulated container and allowed to come to thermal equilibrium. Figure (a) gives their temperatures T versus time t. Sample A has a mass of 4.79 kg; sample B has a mass of 1.50 kg. Figure (b) is a general plot for the material of sample B. It shows the temperature change AT that the material undergoes when energy is transferred to it as heat Q. The change AT is plotted versus the energy Q per unit mass of the material, and the scale of the vertical axis is set by AT, = 4.50 °C. What is the specific heat of sample A?

It takes about 1.47 J of energy for the sweater to go from room temperature to the temperature outside. What is the specific heat capacity of the sweater? Please express the specific heat capacity in the unit of joules/kg.degrees Celsiusarrow_forwardHeat Q, which has the SI unit of joule (J), is the quantity in mechanical engineering that describes the transit of energy from one location to another. The equation for the flow of heat during the time interval At through an insulated wall is KAAT Q = (Тh — T) where k is the thermal conductivity of the material from which the wall is made, A and L are the wall's area and thickness, and Th – T; is the difference (in degrees Celsius) between the high- and low-temperature sides of the wall.

Answer:arrow_forwardAn engineer who is working on the heat transfer analysis of a house in English units needs the convection heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface of the house. But the only value he can find from his handbooks is 22 W/m2·K, which is in SI units. The engineer does not have a direct conversion factor between the two unit systems for the convection heat transfer coefficient. Using the conversion factors between W and Btu/h, m and ft, and °C and °F, express the given convection heat transfer coefficient in Btu/h·ft2·°F.arrow_forwardAn electronics device generates 30.5 W of heat energy during normal operation.
