5. A cup holds about 250 ml, or 0.25 kg of water. You want to carry a cup of water from the first floor to
your room on the second floor, 15 feet up. How much work is required?

Solution A cup holds about 250 ml, or 0.25 kg of water. The potential energy difference between the
first and second floor is ΔEp = mgh = (0.25 kg)(9.81 m/s 2)(15 ft)(0.3048 m/ft) = 11.2 J.

4. Calculate the heat loss per m^2 of surface area for an insulating wall composed of 25.4-mm-thick
fiber insulating board, where the inside temperature is 352.7K and the outside temperature is 297.1K.
The thermal conductivity of fiber board is 0.048 W/m-K.

Solution:

Q=(k/x)(T1-T2)

Enter the value for k: 0.048

Enter the value for x: 0.0254

5. A heavy hydrocarbon oil which has a cpm=2.30 kJ/kg-K is being cooled in a heat exchanger from
371.9K to 349.7K and flows inside the tube at a rate of 3630 kg/h. A flow of 1450 kg water/h enters at
288.6 K for cooling and flows outside the tube. Calculate the heat lost by the oil.

Solution:

q=mc(T2-T1)

Enter the value for m: 3630

Enter the value for c: 2.30

Enter the value for T1: 349.7

Enter the value for T2: 371.9
