Problem 1.

21 [Difficulty: 1]

Given: Specific heat, speed, and volume data in certain units

Find: Convert to different units

Solution:
Using data from tables (e.g. Table G.2)

kJ kJ 1 ⋅ Btu 1 ⋅ kg 1⋅ K Btu
(a) 4.18⋅ = 4.18⋅ × × × = 0.998 ⋅
kg⋅ K kg⋅ K 1.055 ⋅ kJ 2.2046⋅ lbm 1.8⋅ R lbm⋅ R

m m 3.281 ⋅ ft 1 ⋅ mi 3600⋅ s mi
(b) 30⋅ = 30⋅ × ⋅ ⋅ = 67.1⋅
s s 1⋅ m 5280⋅ ft hr hr

3 3
1⋅ m ⎛ 100 ⋅ cm × 1⋅ in ⎞ = 305 ⋅ in3
(c) 5⋅ L = 5⋅ L × × ⎜
1000⋅ L ⎝ 1⋅ m 2.54⋅ cm ⎠
