A cheese ripening room which, has a total surface area of A = 25.0m², has to ensure that the inside temperature does not exceed 11.0°C at all times. If the maximum outside temperature is 35.0°C and the cheese ripening room has an air conditioner which provides 125 kW of cooling, calculate the how thick the wooden walls would need to bein mm, in order to ensure the inside temperature does not go above 11.0°C. Assume that the thermal Assume that the entire cheese ripening room is made of wood (induding ceiling and floor) and ignore any losses through the door as it kA(Tingide -Toutside ) conductivity, k of wood is 0.0800 m.C remains closed most of the time and is well sealed.

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 difference in temperature is 2.00 , and the skin area is 1.50 m2. 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.)
The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170.00 m on a day when the temperature is 35.0 . What will its height be on a day when the temperature falls to -10.0 ? Although the monument is made of limestone, assume that its coefficient of thermal expansion is the same as that of marble. Give your answer to five significant figures.
One easy way to reduce heating (and cooling) costs is to add extra insulation in the attic of a house. Suppose a single-story cubical 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, by what percentage would the heating cost of the house drop? Take the house to have dimensions 10 m by 15 m by 3.0 m. Ignore air infiltration and heat loss through windows and doors, and assume that the interior is uniformly at one temperature and the exterior is uniformly at another.
When an air bubble rises from the bottom to the top of a freshwater lake, its volume increases by 80%. If the temperatures at the bottom and the top of the lake are 4.0 and 10 , respectively, how deep is the lake? `
Consider the latent heat of fusion and the latent heat of vaporization for H2O, 3.33 105 J/kg and 2.256 106 J/kg, respectively. How much heat is needed to a. melt 2.00 kg of ice and b. vaporize 2.00 kg of water? Assume the temperatures of the ice and steam are at the melting point and vaporization point, respectively. (a). UsingEq21.9, Q = mLF = (2.00 kg) (3.33l05 J/kg) = 6.66105 J (b).UsingEq21.10. Q = mLV = (2.00kg) (2.256106 J/kg) = 14.51106 J
A Carnot refrigerator exhausts heat to the air, which is at a temperature of 25 . How much is used by the refrigerator if it freezes 1.5 g of water per second? Assume the water is at 0 .
Compare the rate of heat conduction through a 13.0-cm-thick wall that has an area of 10.0 m2 and a thermal conductivity that of glass wool with the rate of heat conduction through a 0.750-cm-thick window that has an area of 2.00 m2, assuming the same temperature difference across each.
Suppose a gas-filled incandescent light bulb is manufactured so that the gas inside the bulb is at atmospheric pressure when the bulb has a temperature of 20.0 . (a) Find the gauge pressure inside such a bulb when it is hot, assuming its average temperature is 60.0 (an approximation) and neglecting any change in volume due to thermal expansion or gas leaks. (b) The actual final pressure for the light bulb will be less than calculated in part (a) because the glass bulb will expand. Is this effect significant?
In some countries, liquid nitrogen is used on daily trucks instead of mechanical refrigerators. A 3.00-hour delivery trip requires 200 L of liquid nitrogen, which has a density of 808 kg/m3. (a) Calculate the heat transfer necessary to evaporate this amount of liquid nitrogen and raise its temperature to 3.00 . (Use cp and assume it is constant over the temperature range.) This value is the amount of cooling the liquid nitrogen supplies. (b) What is this heat transfer rate in kilowatt-hours? (c) Compare the amount of cooling obtained from melting an identical mass of 0- ice with that from evaporating the liquid nitrogen.
A sealed room has a volume of 24 m3. It's filled with air, which may be assumed to be diatomic, at a temperature of 24 and a pressure of 9.83104 Pa. A 1.00-kg block of ice at its melting point is placed in the room. Assume the walls of the room transfer no heat. What is the equilibrium temperature?
In a study of healthy young men[1], doing 20 push-ups in 1 minute burned an amount of energy per kg that for a 70.0-kg man corresponds to 8.06 calories (kcal). How much would a 70.0-kg man's temperature rise if he did not lose any heat during that time?
