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.
What three factors affect the heat transfer that is necessary to change an object's temperature?
The Kilauea volcano in Hawaii is the world’s most active, disgorging about 5105m3 of 1200C lava per day. What is the rate of heat transfer out of Earth by convection if this lava has a density of 2700kg/m3 and eventually cools to 30C ? Assume that the specific heat of lava is the same as that of granite. Figure 14.34 Lava flow on Kilauea volcano in Hawaii. (credit: J. R Eaton, U.S. Geological Survey)
In cold weather, you can sometimes "see" your breath. What you are seeing is a mist of small water droplets, the same as in clouds and fog. Suppose air leaves your mouth with temperature 35°C and humidity 0.035 kg/m3 and mixes with an equal amount of air at 5°C. and humidity 0.005 kg/m3 What is the relative humidity of the mixed air if its temperature and humidity equal the averages of those of the two original air masses? Represent what happens by plotting three points in a graph like Figure 5.34.
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.
Give an example of a physical property that varies with temperature and describe how it is used to measure temperature.
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.)
A thermopane window consists of two glass panes, each 0.50 cm thick, with a 1.0-cm-thick sealed layer of air in between. (a) If the inside surface temperature is 23C and the outside surface temperature is 0.0C, determine the rate of energy transfer through 1.0 m2 of the window. (b) Compare your answer to (a) with the rate of energy transfer through 1.0 m2 of a single 1.0-cm-thick pane of glass. Disregard surface air layers.
In my humid climates where there are numerous bodies of water, such as in Florida, it is unusual for temperatures to rise above about 35C(95F). In deserts, however, temperatures can rise far above this. Explain how the evaporation of water helps limit high temperatures in humid climates.

For the human body, what is the rate of heat transfer by conduction through the body’s tissue with the following conditions: the tissue thickness is 3.00 cm, the change in temperature is 2.00C, and the skin area is 1.50m2. How does this compare with the average heat transfer rate to the body resulting from an energy intake of about 2400 kcal per day? (No exercise is included.)
(a) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through house walls that are 13.0 cm thick and have an average thermal conductivity twice that of glass wool. Assume there are no windows or doors. The walls' surface area is 120 m2 and their inside surface is at 18.0 , while their outside surface is at 5.00 . (b) How many 1-kW room heaters would be needed to balance the heat transfer due to conduction?
