In a certain experiment, a small radioactive source must move at selected, extremely slow speeds. This motion is accomplished by fastening the source to one end of an aluminum rod and heating the central section of the rod in a controlled way. If the effective heated section of the rod in Figure has length d=2.00 cm, at what constant rate must the temperature of the rod be changed if the source is to move at a constant speed of 100 nm/s?

Penguin huddling. To withstand the harsh weather of the Antarctic, emperor penguins huddle in groups (Figure). Assume that a penguin is a circular cylinder with a top surface area a=0.34m2and height h=1.1m . Let Pr be the rate at which an individual penguin radiates energy to the environment (through the top and the sides); thus NPr is the rate at which N identical, well-separated penguins radiate. If the penguins huddle closely to form a huddled cylinder with top surface area and height , the cylinder radiates at the rate Ph. If N=1000 , (a) what is the value of the fraction Ph/NPrand (b) by what percentage does huddling reduce the total radiation loss?

The average rate at which energy is conducted outward through the ground surface in North America is54.0mW/m2, and the average thermal conductivity of the near-surface rocks is2.50W/mK. Assuming a surface temperature of10.0°C, find the temperature at a depth of35.0km(near the base of the crust). Ignore the heat generated by the presence of radioactive elements.

The area Aof a rectangular plate isab=1.4m2. Its coefficient of linear expansion isα=32×10−6/0C. After a temperature riseΔT=89°C, side ais longer byand side bis longer by Δb(Fig. 18-61). Neglecting the small quantity (ΔaΔb)/ab, findΔA.

(a) What is the rate of energy loss in watts per square meter through a glass window3.0mmthick if the outside temperature is−20°Fand the inside temperature is+72°F?(b) A storm window having the same thickness of glass is installed parallel to the first window, with an air gap of7.5cmbetween the two windows. What now is the rate of energy loss if conduction is the only important energy-loss mechanism?
