The thermal energy generated by a silicon chip increases in proportion to its clock speed. The silicon chip of Problem 10.23 is designed to operate in the nucleate boiling regime at approximately 30% of the critical heat flux. A sudden surge in the chip's clock speed triggers film boiling, after which the clock speed and power dissipation return to their design values. In which boiling regime does the chip operate after the power dissipation returns to its design value

Aheat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. the same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. heat pumps are widely used for home heating. you can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat qh, warming the indoors. perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. this is a direct, 100% conversion of work to heat. that is, 19.0 \rm kw of electric power (generated by doing work at the rate 19.0 kj/s at the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 19.0 kj/s. suppose that the neighbor's home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 4.00, a realistic value. note: with a refrigerator, "what you get" is heat removed. but with a heat pump, "what you get" is heat delivered. so the coefficient of performance of a heat pump is k=qh/win. an average price for electricity is about 40 mj per dollar. a furnace or heat pump will run typically 200 hours per month during the winter. what does one month's heating cost in the home with a 16.0 kw electric heater? what does one month's heating cost in the home of a neighbor who uses a heat pump to provide the same amount of heating?

Asmall object with mass 0.200 kg swings back and forth on the lower end of a light rope that is 3.00 m long. the upper end of the rope is attached to the ceiling. as the object swings through its lowest position, where the rope is vertical, the speed of the object is 5.80 m/s. at this point in the motion, what is the tension in the rope? (use g = 9.80 m/s2.)

The magnitude of the magnetic field at a certain distance from a long, straight conductor is represented by b. what is the magnitude of the magnetic field at twice the distance from the conductor? a. at twice the distance, the magnitude of the field is 4b.b. at twice the distance, the magnitude of the field is 2b.c. at twice the distance, the magnitude of the field is b/2.d. at twice the distance, the magnitude of the field is b/4.e. at twice the distance, the magnitude of the field remains equal to b.
