Hey I have 2 questions (q2 follows on from q1), both on average heat power:

Homework Statement



1) In an experiment to determine the rate at which heat is extracted from a hot material, 302 g of the material at 90 °C is put into a 50 mm diameter copper vessel to a depth of 90 mm as shown below. The hot material and calorimeter are placed in a container holding 196 g of cold water at 22.7 °C. The temperature of the water is then measured every 30 seconds for 3minutes. The results are plotted as in the previous question and the average temperature rise per second is calculated as 0.0065 ± 0.0005 °C/sec.
From the data provided and the graph below, determine the average heat power ( in kW ) transferred to the water

----

2) When tested with hot material packed to a depth of 91 mm from the 50 mm diameter copper pipe used in the previous experiment the average heat power transferred to the water was found to be 5.9kW. What is the average heat power (in kW) transferred into the water PER METRE of copper container when packed with the same hot material and placed in a water cooled situation as shown.

I tried to use the P cond = kA (T h - T c)/L, but I am not sure what k would be...

Any one got an answer/idea?

You're given a graph right? So from that, you can find the value of kA/L ( as its a constant), and you know A(pi r^2) and L. So from there you have your heat current. Average heat would be total heat divided by 3 mins 30 secs in seconds.
 
Im also having problems with this. can someone help? thanks
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
