Chapter 18 Problem 66

Question

Evaporative cooling of beverages. A cold beverage can be kept cold even on a warm day if it is slipped into a porous ceramic container that has been soaked in water. Assume that energy lost to evaporation matches the net energy gained via the radiation exchange through the top and side surfaces. The container and beverage have temperature T # 15 C, the environment has temperature Tenv # 32 C, and the container is a cylinder with radius r # 2.2 cm and height 10 cm. Approximate the emissivity as # 1, and neglect other energy exchanges. At what rate dm/dt is the container losing water mass?

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 18 problem number 66 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Evaporative cooling of beverages. A cold beverage can be kept cold even on a warm day if it is slipped into a porous ceramic container that has been soaked in water. Assume that energy lost to evaporation matches the net energy gained via the radiation exchange through the top and side surfaces. The container and beverage have temperature T # 15 C, the environment has temperature Tenv # 32 C, and the container is a cylinder with radius r # 2.2 cm and height 10 cm. Approximate the emissivity as # 1, and neglect other energy exchanges. At what rate dm/dt is the container losing water mass?
From the textbook chapter you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
