A. Setting Up Models

Given the Following Simple Heat Transfer Problem:

A calorimeter can determine a person’s metabolic rate by measuring the quantity of heat liberated from the body in a given period of time. The calorimeter consists of a large air chamber with well-insulated walls that prevent energy transfer into or out of the calorimeter. As the person’s body produces heat, the air temperature in the chamber is kept constant by forcing the air through pipes in a cool water bath. A thermometer measures the temperature increase, which is used to calculate the rate of heat gain by the water bath, which equals the rate of heat release from the person’s body. You want to measure your metabolic rate as you exercise in the calorimeter.

Complete the following (use correct grammar and complete sentences in your responses):

1. Draw a picture of the system. Label the system, surroundings, extensive properties, and system boundary.

2. Identify the system as open, closed, or isolated, and state why.

3. Name the extensive property that is to be counted.

4. State the time period of interest. Explain.

5. Identify the system as steady-state or dynamic, and state why.

6. Identify whether the system has a reaction and/or energy inter-conversion, and state why.

7. Should an algebraic, differential, or integral equation be used to describe the system? State why.

8. Is the selected extensive property conserved in this system? State why.
