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.

The Attempt at a Solution



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?

Cheers,

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
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
