1. Chapter 11Energy in Thermal Processes

2. next chapter Vocabulary, 3 Kinds of Energy • Internal Energy U = Energy of microscopic motion and inter-molucular forces • WorkW = -FDx = -PDV is work done by expansion (next chapter) • HeatQ = Energy transfer from microscopic contact

3. Mass Property of material • cH20 = 1.0 cal/(gºC) • 1 calorie = 4.186 J Temperature and Specific Heat • Add energy -> T rises

4. Example 11.1 Bobby Joe drinks a 130 “calorie” can of soda. If the efficiency for turning energy into work is 20%, how many 4 meter floors must Bobby Joe ascend in order to work off the soda and maintain her 55 kg mass? Nfloors = 50.4

5. Example 11.2 Aluminum has a specific heat of .0924 cal/gºC. If 110 g of hot water at 90 ºC is added to an aluminum cup of mass 50 g which is originally at a temperature of 23 ºC, what is the final temperature of the equilibrated water/cup combo? T = 87.3 ºC

6. Property of substance /transition Phase Changes and Latent Heat • T does not rise when phases change (at constant P) • Examples: solid -> liquid (fusion), liquid -> vapor (vaporization) • Latent heat = energy required to change phases

7. Example 11.3 1.0 liters of water is heated from 12 ºC to 100 ºC, then boiled away. a) How much energy is required to bring the water to boiling? b) How much extra energy is required to vaporize the water? c) If electricity costs $75 per MW-hrs, what was the cost of boiling the water? a) Q = 8.8x104 cal = 3.68x105 J b) Q = 5.4x105 cal = 2.26x106 J c) 5.5 ¢

8. = 193 g A can of soda has ~ 325 g of H20 Some fluid drips away Example 11.4 Consider Bobby Joe from the previous example. If the 80% of the 130 kcals from her soda went into heat which was taken from her body from radiation, how much water was perspired to maintain her normal body temperature? (Assume a latent heat of vaporization of 540 cal/g even though T = 37 ºC)

9. Three Kinds of Heat Transer • Conduction • Shake your neighbor - pass it down • Examples: Heating a skillet, losing heat through the walls • Convection • Move hot region to a different location • Examples: Hot-water heating for buildings Circulating air Unstable atmospheres • Radiation • Light is emitted from hot object • Examples: Stars, Incandescent bulbs

10. Conductivity is property of material Conduction • Power depends on area A, thickness Dx, temperature difference Dt and conductivity of material

11. Example 11.5 A copper pot of radius 12 cm and thickness 5 mm sits on a burner and boils water. The temperature of the burner is 115 ºC while the temperature of the inside of the pot is 100 ºC. What mass of water is boiled away every minute? DATA: kCu = 397 W/mºC m=1.43 kg

12. Conductivities and R-values • Conductivity (k) • Property of Material • SI units are W/(m ºC) • R-Value • Property of material and thickness Dx. • Measures resistance to heat • Useful for comparing insulation products • Quoted values are in AWFUL units

13. ARGH! Conducitivities and R-values

14. What makes a good heat conductor? • “Free” electrons (metals) • Easy transport of sound (lattice vibrations) • Stiff is good • Low Density is good • Pure crystal structure Diamond is perfect!

15. R-values for layers Consider a layered system, e.g. glass-air-glass

16. Example 11.6 Consider three panes of glass, each of thickness 5 mm.The panes trap two 2.5 cm layers of air in a large glass door. How much power leaks through a 2.0 m2 glass door if the temperature outside is -40 ºC and the temperature inside is 20 ºC? DATA: kglass= 0.84 WmºC, kair= 0.0234 Wm ºC P = 55.7 W

17. Convection • If warm air blows across the room, it is convection • If there is no wind, it is conduction • Can be instigated by turbulence or instabilities

18. Why are windows triple paned? To stop convection!

19. Emissivity, 0 < e < 1, usually near 1 s = 5.6696x10-8 W/(m2ºK4) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant Transfer of heat by radiation • All objects emit light if T > 0 • Colder objects emit longer wavelengths (red or infra-red) • Hotter objects emit shorter wavelengths(blue or ultraviolet) • Stefan’s Law give power of emitted radiation

20. Example 11.7 If the temperature of the Sun fell 5%, and the radius shrank 10%, what would be the percentage change of the Sun’s power output? - 34%

21. Example 11.8 DATA: The sun radiates 3.74x1026 W Distance from Sun to Earth = 1.5x1011 m Radius of Earth = 6.36x106 m • What is the intensity (power/m2) of sunlight when it reaches Earth? • How much power is absorbed by Earth in sunlight? (assume that none of the sunlight is reflected) • What average temperature would allow Earth to radiate an amount of power equal to the amount of sun power absorbed? a) 1323 W/m2 b) 1.68x1017 W c) T = 276 ºK = 3 ºC = 37 ºF

22. What is neglected in estimate? • Earth is not at one single temperature • Some of Sun’s energy is reflected • Emissivity lower at Earth’s thermal wavelengths than at Sun’s wavelengths • Radioactive decays inside Earth • Hot underground (less so in Canada) • Most of Jupiter’s radiation NOTE: Venus has a surface T of 900 C

23. Greenhouse Gases • Sun is much hotter than Earth so sunlight has much shorter wavelengths than light radiated by Earth (infrared) • Emissivity of Earth depends on wavelength • CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere reflects in the infrared • Barely affects incoming sunlight • Reduces emissivity, e, of re-radiated heat

24. Global warming • Tearth has risen ~ 1 ºF • ~ consistent with greenhouse effect • Other gases, e.g. S02, could cool Earth
