20. Heat and Temperature

Which of the following factors directly affect the rate of heat flow through a material?

Which of the following is not a common form of heat transfer?

Why is heat transfer considered a nonequilibrium phenomenon?

Which of the following is the primary mechanism by which energy is transferred from $\mathrm{Earth}’s$ surface to $\mathrm{Earth}’s$ atmosphere?

Which of the following best describes how $\mathrm{thermal energy}$ is transferred during $\mathrm{conduction}$?

Which of the following situations is an example of transferring heat by means of $\mathrm{convection}$?

Through which of the following ways does the $\mathrm{Sun}$ primarily transfer its $\mathrm{heat}$ energy to the $\mathrm{Earth}$?

The temperature within the Earth’s crust increases about 1.0 C° for each 30 m of depth. The thermal conductivity of the crust is 0.80 J/s C°. Determine the heat transferred from the interior to the surface for the entire Earth in 1.0 h.

In the context of heat transfer, what is always the direction of heat flow between two objects?

A cubic Styrofoam cooler containing ice on a hot day is shown in the following figure. The thickness of each wall of the cooler is 15 mm, with a side length of 1 m. If it is 40°C outside, how long will 2 kg of ice last in the cooler? Assume that during the melting process, the temperature inside the cooler remains at 0°C and that no heat enters from the bottom of the cooler. Note that the latent heat of fusion for water is 334 kJ/kg and the thermal conductivity of Styrofoam is 0.033 W/mK.

If the intensity of sunlight measured at the Earth's surface is 1400 W/m² , what is the surface temperature of the Sun? Treat the Sun like a true blackbody. Note that the distance from the Earth to the Sun is 1.5 x 10¹¹ m and the radius of the Sun is 696 million meters.

300g of water at 40°C is in an insulated cup. What mass of copper at 500°C must be added to heat the water to 60°C?

The blood plays an important role in removing heat from the body by bringing this energy directly to the surface where it can radiate away. Nevertheless, this heat must still travel through the skin before it can radiate away. Assume that the blood is brought to the bottom layer of skin at $37.0$°C and that the outer surface of the skin is at $30.0$°C. Skin varies in thickness from $0.50$ mm to a few millimeters on the palms and soles, so assume an average thickness of $0.75$ mm. A $165$-lb, $6$-ft-tall person has a surface area of about $2.0$ m² and loses heat at a net rate of $75$ W while resting. On the basis of our assumptions, what is the thermal conductivity of this person's skin?
