The gas law for an ideal gas at absolute temperature T (in kelvins), pressure P (in atmospheres), and volume V (in liters) is PV = nRT, where n is the number of moles of the gas and R = 0.0821 is the gas constant. Suppose that, at a certain instant, P = 7.0 atm and is increasing at a rate of 0.15 atm/min and V = 13 and is decreasing at a rate of 0.17 L/min. Find the rate of change of T with respect to time (in K/min) at that instant if n = 10 mol.(Round your answer to four decimal places.)
When air expands adiabatically (without gaining or losing heat), its pressure P and volume V are related by the equation PV^1.4=C where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 450 cubic centimeters and the pressure is 93 kPa and is decreasing at a rate of 14 kPa/minute. At what rate in cubic centimeters per minute is the volume increasing at this instant? Answer in cm^3/min(Pa stands for Pascal -- it is equivalent to one Newton/(meter squared); kPa is a kiloPascal or 1000 Pascals. )

The tube in a heat exchanger has a 2-in inner diameter and a 3-in outer diameter. The thermal conductivity of the tube material is 0.5 Btu/h·ft·°F, while the inner surface heat transfer coefficient is 50 Btu/h·ft2·°F and the outer surface heat transfer coefficient is 10 Btu/h·ft2·°F. Determine the overall heat transfer coefficients based on the outer and inner surfaces.

An engineer who is working on the heat transfer analysis of a house in English units needs the convection heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface of the house. But the only value he can find from his handbooks is 22 W/m2·K, which is in SI units. The engineer does not have a direct conversion factor between the two unit systems for the convection heat transfer coefficient. Using the conversion factors between W and Btu/h, m and ft, and °C and °F, express the given convection heat transfer coefficient in Btu/h·ft2·°F.
