An office worker claims that a cup of cold coffee on his table warmed up to 80°C by picking up energy from the surrounding air,

which is at 25°C. Is there any truth to his claim? Does this process violate any thermodynamic laws?

Answer:

It is false, it violates the second law.

Explanation:

In order for his coffe to heat from the environment the environmnet surrounding his coffee needed to have a higher temperature than his coffee, the true claim could be that the coffee lost temperature or cooled down since the air surrounding it was cooler, the laws of thermodynamics have to do with closed systems and energy and the second states that a new object will enter a state of stabilization with the environmnet if the environment is cooler than the object ehn the object will cool off.

Answer:

The claim is false and violate the zeroth law of thermodynamics.

Explanation:

Zeroth law of thermodynamics refers to thermal equilibrium among  elements. It states that  elements which different temperatures will reach the same temperature at the endgame if they are close enough to interact each other. This temperaure is called <em>equilibrium temperature and it is always a intermediate value between the element with highest temperature and the element with the lowest one. So there is no way </em> a cup of cold coffee on a table can warm up to 80°C picking up energy from the surrounding air at 25°C because the cup can only reach a temperature closer to the surrounding air temperature which will be the equilimbrium temperature for that case.

Answer:

  1. TAX_RATE = 0.20
  2. STANDARD_DEDUCTION = 10000.0
  3. DEPENDENT_DEDUCTION = 3000.0
  4. # Request the inputs
  5. grossIncome = float(input("Enter the gross income: "))
  6. numDependents = int(input("Enter the number of dependents: "))
  7. # Compute the income tax
  8. taxableIncome = grossIncome - STANDARD_DEDUCTION - \
  9. DEPENDENT_DEDUCTION * numDependents
  10. incomeTax = taxableIncome * TAX_RATE
  11. # Display the income tax
  12. print("The income tax is $" + str(round(incomeTax,2)))

Explanation:

We can use round function to enable the program to output number with two digits of precision.

The round function will take two inputs, which is the value intended to be rounded and the number of digits of precision. If we set 2 as second input, the round function will round the incomeTax to two decimal places. The round function has to be enclosed within the str function so that the rounded value will be converted to a string and joined with the another string to display the complete a sentence of income tax info.

A given system has four sensors that can produce an output of 0 or 1. The system operates proper . An alarm must be raised when two or more sensors have the output of 1. Design the simplest circuit that can be used to raise the alarm ly when exactly one of the sensors has its output equal to Repeat problem #4 for a system that has 7 sensors. Hint: Before you slog through a truth table with 128 rows in it, think about whether SOP or POS might be a better approach.

1. A glass window of width W = 1 m and height H = 2 m is 5 mm thick and has a thermal conductivity of kg = 1.4 W/m*K. If the inn
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

1. \dot Q=19600\ W

2. \dot Q=120\ W

Explanation:

1.

Given:

  • height of the window pane, h=2\ m
  • width of the window pane, w=1\ m
  • thickness of the pane, t=5\ mm= 0.005\ m
  • thermal conductivity of the glass pane, k_g=1.4\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • temperature of the inner surface, T_i=15^{\circ}C
  • temperature of the outer surface, T_o=-20^{\circ}C

<u>According to the Fourier's law the rate of heat transfer is given as:</u>

\dot Q=k_g.A.\frac{dT}{dx}

here:

A = area through which the heat transfer occurs = 2\times 1=2\ m^2

dT = temperature difference across the thickness of the surface = 35^{\circ}C

dx = t = thickness normal to the surface = 0.005\ m

\dot Q=1.4\times 2\times \frac{35}{0.005}

\dot Q=19600\ W

2.

  • air spacing between two glass panes, dx=0.01\ m
  • area of each glass pane, A=2\times 1=2\ m^2
  • thermal conductivity of air, k_a=0.024\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • temperature difference between the surfaces, dT=25^{\circ}C

<u>Assuming layered transfer of heat through the air and the air between the glasses is always still:</u>

\dot Q=k_a.A.\frac{dT}{dx}

\dot Q=0.024\times 2\times \frac{25}{0.01}

\dot Q=120\ W
