You are walking on a solid surface. The surface gravity is comfortable, but it is "hot, hot, hot!" Your body is being squeezed in all directions due to the high pressure; it's almost like being deep in the ocean. Your life-support belt is corrod

The Sun, barely visible through the haze, is near your meridian. You hope for nightfall (unaware that it would provide no relief), but you already have been stuck on this planet for nearly 72 hours, and the Sun seems not to have moved through the sky (and, if it moved at all, it moved eastward from the meridian).


You are on Venus. The slow, backward motion of the Sun is the result of Venus's slow, retrograde rotation.

It can be shown that the change in entropy in heating or cooling a sample is given by the relation = mc ln where m is the mass of the sample, c is the specific heat of the sample, and and are the final and initial temperatures respectively. What is the change in entropy when 10.0 grams of lead with a specific heat of 0.452 J/gm K is heated from 10.0C to 50.0

PCM thermal storage systems can be used to store thermal energy from solar energy collectors. The solar collector heats water and the hot water is then passed through the PCM for storage. Then, energy is extracted by passing cold water through the tubes to heat that water. For a system using a PCM having a phase change at 95ºF, with cold water at 65ºF passing through the tubes, and with Bi = 30, NTU = 8, and Fr0 = 0.6, determine the outlet water temperature. Assume tubes have a square arrangement with spacing of 2D.

What will be an ideal response?
