One easy way to reduce heating (and cooling) costs is to add extra insulation in the attic of a house. Suppose the house already had 15 cm of fiberglass insulation in the attic and in all the exterior surfaces. If you added an extra 8.0 cm of fiberglass to the attic, then by what percentage would the heating cost of the house drop? Take the single story house to be of dimensions 10 m by 15 m by 3.0 m. Ignore air infiltration and heat loss through windows and doors.
- (a) Compute the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water from its freezing point to its normal boiling point. (b) How does your answer to (a) compare to the amount of heat needed to convert 1 kg of water at 100° C to steam at 100°C?
Calculate the rate of heat conduction out of the human body, assuming that the core internal temperature is 37.0 , the skin temperature is 34.0 , the thickness of the fatty tissues between the core and the skin averages 1.00 cm, and the surface area is 1.40 m2.
Suppose you stand with one foot on ceramic flooring and one foot on a wool carpet, making contact over an area of 80.0cm2 with each foot. Both the ceramic and the carpet are 2.00 cm thick and are 10.0C on their bottom sides. At what rate must heat transfer occur from each foot to keep the top of the ceramic and carpet at 33.0C ?
What mass of water at 25.0C must be allowed to come to thermal equilibrium with a 1.85-kg cube of aluminum initially at 150C to lower the temperature of the aluminum to 65.0C? Assume any water turned to steam subsequently condenses.
When a driver brakes an automobile, the friction between the brake drams and the brake shoes converts the cars kinetic energy to thermal energy. If a 1 500-kg automobile traveling at 30 m/s comes to a halt, how much does the temperature rise in each of the four 8.0-kg iron brake drums? (The specific heat of iron is 448J/kg C.)
Compare the rate of heat conduction through a 13.0-cm-thick wall that has an area of 10.0m2 and a thermal conductivity twice that of glass wool with the rate of heat conduction through a window that is 0.750 cm thick and that has an area of 2.00m2, assuming the same temperature difference across each.
On a hot dry day, evaporation from a lake has just enough heat transfer to balance the 1.00kW/m2 of incoming heat from the Sun. What mass of water evaporates in 1.00 h from each square meter? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategies for the Effects of Heat Transfer.
In winters, if is often warmer in San Francisco than in nearby Sacramento, 150 km inland. In summers, it is nearly always hotter in Sacramento. Explain how the bodies of water surrounding San Francisco moderate its extreme temperatures.
At what net rate does heat radiate from a 275m2 black roof on a night when the roof’s temperature is 30.0C and the surrounding temperature is 15.0C ? The emissivity of the roof is 0.900.
What are the main methods of heat transfer front the hot core of Earth to its surface? From Earth's surface to outer space? When our bodies get too warm, they respond by sweating and increasing blood circulation to the surface to transfer thermal energy away from the care. What effect will this have on a person in at 40.0C hot tub? Figure 14.30 shows a cutaway drawing of a thermos battle (also known as a Dewar flask), which is a device designed specifically to slow down all terms at heat transfer. Explain the functions of the various parts, such as the vacuum, the silvering of the walls, the thin-walled long glass neck, the rubber support, the air layer, and the stopper. Figure 14.30 The construction of a thermos bottle is designed to inhibit all methods of heat transfer.
Find the net rate of heat transfer by radiation from a skier standing in the shade, given the following. She is completely clothed in white (head to foot, including a ski mask), the clothes have an emissivity of 0.200 and a surface temperature of 10.0C, the surroundings are at 15.0C, and her surface area is 1.60m2.
