Conservation of Energy Applied to the Water in a Swimming Pool You are asked to design a heating system for a variety of rectangular swimming pools that are 2m deep, 10 m wide, and the length can vary from 10 m to 25 m. The heating system must be able to raise the specific internal energy of the water by 40 KJ/kg in a 3 hour time period. Consider heat losses to the surroundings to be approximately 1000 W/m2 based off of the top surface area of the water. Take the density of the water to be constant in time as approximately 1000 kg/m3. Determine the required heater size (in kW) as a function of the length of the pool.

On solidification from a melt, the polymer polyethylene forms a semi-crystalline spherulite structure. (i) sketch an individual spherulite and label the amorphous and crystalline regions. (ii) draw a schematic to show the changes in specific volume with temperature during cooling from the melt, comparing it to the theoretical extremes of fully crystalline and fully amorphous (indicate tm and tg)
