Unreasonable results. (a) Find the sped of hydrogen sulfide, H2S, molecules at a temperature of 250 K. Its molar mass is 31.4 g/mol (b) The result isn't very unreasonable, but why is it less reliable than those for, say, neon or nitrogen?
As the very first rudiment of climatology, estimate the temperature of Earth. Assume it is a perfect sphere and its temperature is uniform. Ignore the greenhouse effect. Thermal radiation from the Sun has an intensity (the "solar constant" S) of about 1370 W/m2 at the radius of Earth's orbit. (a) Assuming the Sun's rays are parallel, what area must S be multiplied by to get the total radiation intercepted by Earth? It will be easiest to answer in tens of Earth's radius, R. (b) Assume that Earth reflects about 30% of the solar energy it intercepts. In other words, Earth has an albedo with a value of A=0.3 . In terms of S, and R, what is the rate at which Earth absorbs energy from the Sun? (c) Find the temperature at which Earth radiates energy at the same rate. Assume that at the infrared wavelengths where it radiates, the emissivity e is 1. Does your result show that the greenhouse effect is important? (d) How does your answer depend on the area of Earth?

In an experiment, the temperature of a hot gas stream is to be measured by athermocouple with a spherical junction. Due to the nature of this experiment, theresponse time of the thermocouple to register 99 percent of the initial temperaturedifference must be within 5 s. The properties of the thermocouple junction are k =34 W/m·K, ρ= 8400 kg/m3 and Cp =310 J/kg·K. If the heat transfer coefficientbetween the thermocouple junction and the gas is 230 W/m2·K, determine thediameter of the junction. Answer: 0.59 mm
