Short Answer

When heat transfers into a system, is the energy stored as heat? Explain briefly.

The energy stored during heat can also be different forms of energy rather than heat alone.

Step by Step Solution

TABLE OF CONTENTS :
TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step1:Describe heat

Heat is a form of energy transferred between two bodies whose temperatures are different. When heat is transferred from a hotter body to a colder body, this heat transfer continues until the colder body acquires the same temperature as the hotter body.

Step 2: Describe what happens when heat is transferred to a system

Thermal energy is the resulting energy during the heat transfer between two bodies. Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a system. So, when a body becomes hot, its kinetic energy increases, and thus its internal energy also increases. This energy is stored in the system. It can be various other forms of energy rather than heat.

Therefore, it is not necessary for energy stored during heat transfer to also become heat.

What is the temperature of ice right after it is formed by freezing water?

(a) Calculate the rate of heat transfer by radiation from a car radiator at 110°C into a 50.0ºC environment, if the radiator has an emissivity of 0.750 and a \({\bf{1}}{\bf{.20}}\;{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{2}}}\) surface area. (b) Is this a significant fraction of the heat transfer by an automobile engine? To answer this, assume a horsepower of 200 hp (1.5 kW) and the efficiency of automobile engines as 25%.

Consider a person outdoors on a cold night. Construct a problem in which you calculate the rate of heat transfer from the person by all three heat transfer methods. Make the initial circumstances such that at rest the person will have a net heat transfer and then decide how much physical activity of a chosen type is necessary to balance the rate of heat transfer. Among the things to consider are the size of the person, type of clothing, initial metabolic rate, sky conditions, amount of water evaporated, and volume of air breathed. Of course, there are many other factors to consider and your instructor may wish to guide you in the assumptions made as well as the detail of analysis and method of presenting your results.

In winters, it is often warmer in San Francisco than in nearby Sacramento, \({\rm{150 km}}\) inland. In summers, it is nearly always hotter in Sacramento. Explain how the bodies of water surrounding San Francisco moderate its extreme temperatures.

Consider a new model of commercial airplane having its brakes tested as a part of the initial flight permission procedure. The airplane is brought to take off speed and then stopped with the brakes alone. Construct a problem in which you calculate the temperature increase of the brakes during this process. You may assume most of the kinetic energy of the airplane is converted to thermal energy in the brakes and surrounding materials, and that little escapes. Note that the brakes are expected to become so hot in this procedure that they ignite and, in order to pass the test, the airplane must be able to withstand the fire for some time without a general conflagration.
