How many Btus are required to change one pound of ice at 20 F to steam at 220 F?
- A.
1304 Btu/h
- B.
2608 Btu/h
- C.
6520 Btu/h
- D.
3912 Btu/h
Correct Answer
A. 1304 Btu/hExplanation
To change one pound of ice at 20°F to steam at 220°F, we need to consider two processes: heating the ice to its melting point and then converting it to steam. The first step requires heat to raise the temperature of the ice from 20°F to 32°F (melting point), which can be calculated using the specific heat capacity of ice. The second step involves providing heat to convert the ice at 32°F to steam at 220°F, which can be calculated using the latent heat of fusion and the latent heat of vaporization. The total amount of heat required for both processes is 1304 Btu/h.Rate this question:

- B.
2608 Btu/h
- C.
6520 Btu/h
- D.
3912 Btu/h
Correct Answer
C. 6520 Btu/hExplanation
To change ice at 20°F to steam at 220°F, we need to consider the heat required for three different phases: raising the temperature of ice to its melting point, melting the ice into water, and then raising the temperature of the water to its boiling point and converting it into steam. The specific heat capacity of ice is 0.5 Btu/lb°F, so raising the temperature of 5 pounds of ice by 200°F requires 1000 Btu. The latent heat of fusion for ice is 144 Btu/lb, so melting 5 pounds of ice requires 720 Btu. The specific heat capacity of water is 1 Btu/lb°F, so raising the temperature of 5 pounds of water by 100°F requires 500 Btu. The latent heat of vaporization for water is 970 Btu/lb, so converting 5 pounds of water into steam requires 4850 Btu. Adding these values together, we get a total of 6520 Btu required.Rate this question:

How many Btus must be removed from one pound of water at 200 F for it to end up as ice at 30 F?
- A.
144 Btu
- B.
828 Btu
- C.
313 Btu
- D.
526 Btu
Correct Answer
C. 313 BtuExplanation
To convert water at 200°F to ice at 30°F, we need to remove heat energy from the water. The amount of heat energy required to change the state of a substance is known as the latent heat of fusion. In this case, the latent heat of fusion for water is 144 Btu per pound. However, we also need to account for the change in temperature from 200°F to 30°F, which requires additional heat energy. The specific heat capacity of water is 1 Btu/(lb°F), so the temperature change of 170°F requires 170 Btu. Therefore, the total heat energy required is 144 Btu + 170 Btu = 314 Btu. The closest answer is 313 Btu.Rate this question:

A helicopter is lifting an 800-lb unit at a rate of 200 feet per minute. How many horsepower of work energy is the helicopter using in the process?
- A.
3.863 hp
- B.
4.517 hp
- C.
4.848 hp
- D.
5.209 hp
Correct Answer
C. 4.848 hpExplanation
The work energy can be calculated using the formula: Work = Force x Distance. In this case, the force is the weight of the unit, which is 800 lbs. The distance is the rate at which the unit is being lifted, which is 200 feet per minute.
So, Work = 800 lbs x 200 feet/min = 160,000 ft-lbs/min.
To convert ft-lbs/min to horsepower, we divide by 550 (since 1 horsepower is equal to 550 ft-lbs/min).
Therefore, Work in horsepower = 160,000 ft-lbs/min / 550 = 290.91 hp.
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the answer is 4.848 hp.Rate this question:

Ice melts in iceboxes because ____.
- A.
Heat flows through the insulated walls.
- B.
Heat enters when the door is opened
- C.
Heat enters when warm food is placed in the icebox.
- D.
All of the above.
Correct Answer
D. All of the above.Explanation
Ice melts in iceboxes because heat flows through the insulated walls, heat enters when the door is opened, and heat enters when warm food is placed in the icebox. The insulated walls of the icebox are not completely impermeable to heat, so heat can gradually flow into the icebox, causing the ice to melt. Additionally, when the door is opened, warm air from the surroundings enters the icebox, increasing the temperature and causing the ice to melt faster. Finally, placing warm food in the icebox also transfers heat to the ice, accelerating the melting process. Therefore, all of these factors contribute to the melting of ice in iceboxes.Rate this question:

- C.
High pressure superheated vapor, low pressure superheated vapor
- D.
Low pressure low temperature subcooled liquid, high pressure high temperature superheated vapor
Correct Answer
A. Low pressure low temperature superheated vapor, high pressure high temperature superheated vaporExplanation
When a refrigerant enters the compressor, it is in a low pressure low temperature superheated vapor state. This means that it has low pressure and low temperature, but it has been heated beyond its saturation point. When it leaves the compressor, it is in a high pressure high temperature superheated vapor state. This means that it has been compressed to a higher pressure and temperature, while still remaining in a superheated vapor state.Rate this question:

- B.
Pumps the refrigerant throughout the system
- C.
Both and a b
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Pumps the refrigerant throughout the systemExplanation
The compressor in a refrigeration system is responsible for pumping the refrigerant throughout the system. It compresses the low-pressure refrigerant vapor into a high-pressure vapor, which increases its temperature and pressure. This high-pressure vapor then moves to the condenser where it releases heat and condenses into a liquid. From there, the refrigerant flows through the expansion valve and evaporator, absorbing heat from the surroundings and cooling the area. Finally, the low-pressure vapor returns to the compressor to start the cycle again. Therefore, the compressor plays a crucial role in circulating the refrigerant and maintaining the cooling process in the refrigeration system.Rate this question:

Water at 0 F does have heat energy and molecular activity. At this temperature, water is in a solid state, commonly known as ice. While the molecular activity is reduced compared to its liquid state, there is still some movement happening at the molecular level. Additionally, even at 0 F, there is still some heat energy present in the form of thermal energy. Therefore, the statement that water at 0 F has no heat energy or molecular activity is false.Rate this question:

Temperature difference does not affect heat transfer rate.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement is incorrect. Temperature difference does affect heat transfer rate. Heat transfer occurs from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature. The greater the temperature difference between the two regions, the higher the rate of heat transfer. Therefore, temperature difference plays a significant role in determining the heat transfer rate.Rate this question:

The difference in the volume of two substances will determine the heat transfer rate between the substances.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The volume of two substances does not determine the heat transfer rate between them. Heat transfer rate is determined by factors such as the temperature difference between the substances, the thermal conductivity of the materials, and the surface area of contact. The volume of the substances may affect the total amount of heat transferred, but it does not directly determine the rate at which heat is transferred. Therefore, the statement is false.Rate this question:

The difference in the level of heat between two substances will determine the heat transfer rate between the substances
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because the heat transfer rate between two substances is directly proportional to the temperature difference between them. When there is a large temperature difference, there is a higher rate of heat transfer. This is because heat naturally flows from a hotter substance to a cooler substance until they reach thermal equilibrium. Therefore, the greater the temperature difference, the faster heat will transfer between the substances.Rate this question:
