A container filled with 45 kg of liquid water at 95oC is placed in a 90-m3 room that is initially at 12oC. The thermal equilibrium is established after a while as a result of heat transfer between the water and the air in the room. Using constant specific heats‚ determine (a) the final equilibrium temperature‚ (b) the amount of heat transfer between

how physics can affect our daily life. For example‚ just walking is a part of physics in our daily life. Here is a list of some of the ways physics touches our daily life: 1. Motion can be explained using physics as part of the laws ofmechanics and thermodynamics. 2. When we eat‚ we convert food to mechanical energy. While this is aphysics concept‚ eating is also chemistry because the food is digested under a chemical reaction that is then able to produce energy and thus mechanical energy. 3. Items that

Thomas Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49 is the first truly quantum novel in American Fiction. Written in 1966‚ the book is penned by a Cornell educated electrical engineer living in the midst of a scientific revolution. Published before the Standard Model of Elementary Particles‚ the author’s work is a direct representation of the newly accepted uncertainty in pre-quantum physics that dominated scientific discourse at the time. Before both Pynchon’s book and Quantum Theory becoming established‚ the

EFFECT OF ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE ON THE ENVIROMENT THE BIOSPHERE Variations in atmospheric pressure can present special problems for the respiratory systems of animals because atmospheric pressure affects the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide that occurs during animal respiration. Normal atmospheric pressure at sea level is the total pressure that a column of air above the surface of the Earth exerts (760 millimetres of mercury‚ or 1 atmosphere)

phase rule‚ explain what it is. Reduced phase rule ; F = C – P + 1 F(degree of freedom) is the number of the intensive variables which can independently change with maintaining the equilibrium‚ such as T‚ P‚ XA‚ XB. For condensed phases the thermodynamic properties are relatively insensitive to pressure and it is usual to assume that the pressure is fixed at 1 atm. Therefore‚ if the pressure is fixed‚ degree of freedom decreases by one. d) Draw a schematic binary peritectic phase diagram‚ mark

receive the same intensity of insolation. 8) The difference in the temperature curves for the two cities is because Los Angeles is near the coast‚ so the temperatures stay generally high while Phoenix temperatures vary. 9) The lack of atmospheric moister in California’s Mohave Desert can cause a large daily temperature range because when the air is dry‚ it cools more easily. CONCLUSION: 1) The difference in the annual temperature range between a coastal region and an inland region
