Q1. Sketch the temperature of the ice cube versus time, as it, solely exposed to air at a room temperature, slowly turns from a solid state to a complete liquid state.

Q2. The project is based on a problem that an insulated container is partially filled with a liquid in gas at an isothermal condition where the fluid temperature is higher than the ice temperature. Then, several ice cubes are dropped into the container (see the image below). Regarding this transient process of heat transfer, you are asked to develop a formula based on the first law of thermodynamics to predict the needed ice mass or needed ice initial temperature to achieve a targeted final temperature at its thermal equilibrium. Assuming that you know the liquid mass, liquid temperature, gas mass, gas temperature and thermodynamics properties of liquid, gas and ice. To simplify the analysis, let us assume that the mass of gas remains unchanged after the addition of ice to the container and the process of heat transfer in the container is isobaric. To derive a practical cquation for the analysis described herein, how do you make assumptions and simplify the first law of the thermodynamics based on the equation shown in Problem 1-Q2? List the notations for each parameter and variable in the equation proposed by you.
