A hair dryer has a switch that allows it to be used in the US (where the AC voltage is 120 V) and in Europe (where the AC voltage is 230 V). It accomplishes this by having two different resistance settings. When the switch is in the "120 V" position, the hair dryer uses a resistance value that allows it to operate at its rated power of 1380 W when connected to 120 V, and when the switch is in the "230 V" setting, the hair dryer uses a resistance that allows it to still operate at its rated power of 1380 W when connected to 230 V. A tourist takes her 1380 W dual voltage hair dryer to Europe but forgets to set the switch to the "230 V" position. When she plugs it into the 230 V receptacle and turns it on, it begins to smoke. What power does the hair dryer consume as a result of this mistake?

Na food processing facility, a spherical container of inner radius r1 5 40 cm, outer radius r2 5 41 cm, and ther- mal conductivity k 5 1.5 w/m · k is used to store hot water and to keep it at 100°c at all times. to accomplish this, the outer surface of the container is wrapped with a 800-w electric strip heater and then insulated. the temperature of the inner surface of the container is observed to be nearly 120°c at all times. as- suming 10 percent of the heat generated in the heater is lost through the insulation, (a) express the differential equation and the boundary conditions for steady one-dimensional heat conduction through the container, (b) obtain a relation for the variation of temperature in the container material by solving the differential equation, and (c) evaluate the outer surface tempera- ture of the container. also determine how much water at 100°c this tank can supply steadily if the cold water enters at 20°c.
