A heavy pot made of copper has a mass of 2.07 kg (including the lid) and is heated in an oven to a temperature of 155 °C. You pour 0.10 kg of water at 25.6 °C into the pot and quickly close the lid so that no steam can escape. We assume that no heat is lost to the surrounding. For copper, Ccopper = 390 J/(kg.K) For water, Cwater = 4190 J/(kg.K), L₂ = 2256 kJ/kg, Lƒ = 333 kJ/kg. What is the final mass of steam in the pot?

The thermal conductivities of human tissues vary greatly. Fat and skin have conductivities of about 0.20 W/m K and 0.020 W/m K, respectively, while other tissues inside the body have conductivities of about 0.50 W/m K. Assume that between the core region of the body and the skin sin face lies a skin layer of 1.0 mm, fat layer of 0.50 cm, and 3.2 cm of other tissues.

(b) Find the rate of energy loss when the core temperature is 37C and the exterior temperature is 0C. Assume that both a protective layer of clothing and an insulating layer of unmoving air a absent, and a body area of 2.0 m2.

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.
