Some homes that use baseboard heating use copper tubing. hot water runs through and heats the copper tubing, which in turn heats aluminum fins. it is actually the aluminum fins that heat the air rising through the fins. how much energy would it take to heat a section of the copper tubing that weighs about 645.0 g , from 13.20 âc to 28.22 âc ? copper has a specific heat of 0.3850 (j/g)ââc.

An air standard cycle with variable specific heats is executed in a closed system and is composed of the following four processes. 1-2 isentropic compression 100 kpa and 22°c to 600 kpa 2-3 v=constant heat addition to 1500 k 3-4 isentropic expansion to 100 kpa 4-1 p=constant heat rejection to initial state (a) show the cycle on p-v and t-s s (b) calculate the net work output per unit mass (409 kj/kg) (c) determine the thermal efficiency (47.9%)
