2. How much energy is needed to raise the temperature of 2 kg of copper from 0°C to 10°C. The specific heat capacity of copper is 380 J/kg °C.

Explain in physical terms how a microwave oven works. what would happen when you put a conductor in the microwave oven? explain.

Aforce of 240.0 n causes an object to accelerate at 3.2 m/s2. what is the mass of the object?

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.
