Question
#5Suppose a new liquid were discovered that is
identical to water in every way except that it
has a lower specific heat. Consider taking a
shower with this liquid.
Would insulating the pipes from the hot
water heater to the shower head be more or
less important with this new liquid?
1. No significant difference in importance
2. Less important; the lower specific heat
makes it harder to cool the liquid flowing
from the pipes to the shower head.
3. More important; the lower specific heat
makes it easier to cool the liquid flowing from
the pipes to the shower head.
Explanation / Answer
as the specific heat is less it is easier to cool or heat the liquid i.e less amount of heat can do this job so if want less raise in temperature we need to insulate the pipe more than before
