4) 1,000 lbmft/s2 to N
5) 10 kcal/min.ft.oF to W/m.K
6) 30 psia to atm
7) 0.002 kg/m.s to lbm/ft.s
8) 1.987 Btu/lbmol.R to cal/gmol.K,
9) 10.731 ft3lbf/in2.lbmol.R to J/kgmol.K
10) The specific heat capacity of sulfuric acid is given by the equation:
Cp = 13911 + 0.156T (C) (J/kg.C), T in C
How will the equation for specific heat change if CP is expressed in Btu/lb.R.
1. An apple loses 4.5 kJ of heat as it cools per °C drop in its temperature. How much is
the amount of heat loss from the apple per °F drop in its temperature?
2. During a heating process, the temperature of an object rises by 10°C. This
temperature rise is equivalent to a temperature rise of how many R-degrees?
3. Consider a fish swimming 5 m below the free surface of water. What is the increase
in the pressure (Pa) exerted on the fish when it dives to a depth of 25 m below the free
surface?
4. The atmospheric pressures at the top and the bottom of a building are read by a
barometer to be 96.0 and 98.0 kPa. If the density of air is 1.0 kg/m3, what is the height
of the building ?
5. Consider a 2-m deep swimming pool. What is the pressure difference (kPa) between
the top and bottom of the pool?
