One cubic meter of water (see Table 4.4 for the mass density of water) flowing over the Lower Falls in Yellowstone National Park drops
94 m.
If all of the water's potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom of the falls and the kinetic energy goes to heat the water, what is the temperature increase of the water?
The volume of the water is
The density of water is
So, the mass of the given volume of water is
The potential energy at the top of the fall is
The specific heat of the water is
So, the change in the temperature is
So, the change in temperature is 0.22 oC.

Suppose that all the gravitational potential energy of the water goes into raising its temperature Find the increase in water temperature at the bottom of the falls as compared with the top.
(c) Consider a 135 meter high waterfall. If the decrease in potential energy of the water (i.e., mgh) is totally converted into heat, calculate the temperature difference between the top and bottom of the waterfall. Data: m-mass, g - acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s. The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/(8 °C).

20 ℃ Liquid water is flowing into a chamber with a mass flow rate of 1.5 kg/s and heated by mixing it with a superheated steam at 300 ℃. For a specified mixing temperature at 60 ℃, what is the mass flow rate of the steam we need to set and what is the mass flow rate of the 60 ℃ water we can get? Assume: • Mass flow rate ?̇ is the mass change per unit time, with the...

Determine the temperature at which a cube of gold 3 nm on a side becomes quantum confined (via the metal to insulator transition). Gold has a density of 19,300 kg per cubic meter and its atomic mass is 197 g/mol. The Fermi energy of gold is 5.53 eV.
L 2. Steady statemass balance: Water is flowing at steady state in a 0.1 meter-diameter pipe with a maximum velocity (turbulent profile) of 0.3 meters/sec. The pipe then goes through an expansion, to where it is then flowing in a 0.5 meter-diameter pipe, and the flow regime has changed from turbulent to laminar. In the second section of pipe, calculate the velocity as (a) block flow profile (Vavg), and (b) maximum velocity in laminar flow profile? HINT: you will need...
Additional info: Meal = 1720 Kilocalories Mass of myself = 50 kg The Joule () is the SI unit of energy. (J = kg:m? S2 A calorie is another unit of energy. The definition of a calorie is the amount of heat (energy) necessary to raise the temperature of Ig of water by 1° Celsius. Ig of water occupies 1 milliliter (ml) = 1 cubic centimeter (cm) of volume. lkcal=4186J Energy comes in many forms and energy may be converted...
A fluid of constant density (p) at 40 °F (T) is flowing into an initially empty cylindrical tank of radius 10 ft. The cylindrical vešsel is jacketed and heated with saturated steam (T) at 212 °F.The steam jacket does not cover either the top or bottom of the tank. The heat capacity of liquid (Cp liquid is near to that of water. The vessel is well stirred and the heat resistance of the jacket is negligible as are the heat...
