An underground gasoline tank can hold 1.16 × 10³ gallons of gasoline at 52.0°F. If the tank is being filled on a day when the outdoor temperature (and the gasoline in a tanker truck) is 91.0°F, how many gallons from the truck can be poured into the tank? Assume the temperature of the gasoline quickly cools from 91.0°F to 52.0°F upon entering the tank. (The coefficient of volume expansion for gasoline is 9.6 x 10-4 (°C)-¹.) gal

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.
An underground gasoline tank can hold 1.00 103 gallons of gasoline at 52.0F. If the tank is being filled on a day when the outdoor temperature (and the gasoline in a tanker truck) is 95.0F, how many gallons from the truck can be poured into the tank? Assume the temperature of the gasoline quickly cools from 95.0F to 52.0F upon entering the tank.
A company advertises that it delivers helium at a gauge pressure of 1.72107 Pa in a cylinder of volume 43.8 L. How many balloons can be inflated to a volume of 4.00 L with that amount of helium? Assume the pressure inside the balloons is 1.72105 Pa and the temperature in the cylinder and the balloons is 25.0 .
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.)
A glass window in a house has an area of 0.67 m^2 and a thickness of 2.4 mm. The temperature inside the house is 21 C, and the outside temperature is 0 C. How much heat is lost through the window in 1 hour (3600 s) due to conduction? Use 1.0 W/(m x C) for the thermal conductivity of the glass. How much heat is lsot through the window in 1 hour (3600 s) due to raditaion? ( assume the temperature of the rntire glass is 21 C for this probelem). Which mode of heat transfer (condutciton vs. raditiaon) accounts for the greater amount of heat loss?
At a foundry, 22 kg of molten aluminum witha temperature of 660.4◦C is poured into amold.If this is carried out in a room containing150 kg of air at 25◦C, what is the temperatureof the air after the aluminum is completelysolidified? Assume that the specific heat capacity of air is 1.0×10^3J/kg ·◦C. The specificheat of aluminum is 899 J/kg ·◦ C and its latent heat of fusion is 3.97 × 10^5J/kg.Answer in units of ◦C
