A block of tin with a volume of 0.002 m3 is cooled from 150°C to 80°C. If the density of tin is 7304 kg/m3 and its specific heat is 0.22 kJ/kg-K, determine the change in total internal energy of the tin during the process.

Given: Sn; V = 0.002 m3; T1 = 150°C; T2 = 80°C; ? = 7,304 kg/m3; c = 0.22 kJ/kg-K

What will be an ideal response?


First, determine the mass of the tin: m = pV = 14.6 kg
Next, for an incompressible substance with constant specific heats:
?U = mc(T2 ? T1) = -225 kJ
