Conceptual Challenge Problems
These rigorous, thought-provoking problems integrate conceptual learning with problem solving and are suitable for group work.
CP6.E (Section 6.10) Assume that glass has the same properties as pure SiO2. The thermal conductivity (the rate at which heat transfer occurs through a substance) for aluminum is eight times that for SiO2.
(a) Is it more efficient in time and energy to bake brownies in an aluminum pan or a glass pan?
(b) It is said that things cook more evenly in a glass pan than in an aluminum pan. Are there scientific data that indicate that this statement is reasonable?
