Problem 1. A friend of mine lives on the coast near the ocean and frequently likes to eat lunch on the beach. Out above the ocean, the temperature remains nearly constant throughout the day at about 20° C. The temperature at their house 50 km away from that point, however, varies throughout the day. In the morning, the temperature varies linearly for the first 5 hours of the day, increasing from 20° C to 30° C. (a) If the temperature also varies linearly from their house to the point above the ocean that is at constant temperature, derive an equation to describe the temperature field as a function of position and time. Assume the two points are at the same elevation. (b) Based on this function, find the equation to determine the total rate of change of temperature as a function of position and time. (c) If the beach they have a picnic on is located at the midpoint (i.e. 25 km from their house), and they eat 2.5 hours after the temperature begins rising while there is a wind blowing directly from the ocean to their house at a rate of 10 m/s, what is the rate of change of temperature that they would experience?

Unreasonable Results - A slightly deranged Arctic inventor surrounded by ice thinks it would be much less mechanically complex to cool a car engine by melting ice on it than by having a water-cooled system with a radiator, water pump, antifreeze, and so on. (a) If 80% of the energy in 1.00 gal of gasoline is converted into “waste heat” in a car engine, how many kilograms of 0C ice could it melt? (b) Is this a reasonable amount of ice to carry around to cool the engine for 1.00 gal of gasoline consumption? (c) What premises or assumptions are unreasonable?
In the United States, energy for household heating is generally sold using English units, e.g., therm, gal, and cord. A house in Wisconsin uses 1200 therms of thermal energy during the heating season. Calculate the cost of fuel if the furnace uses (a) natural gas with an efficiency of 70%; (b) No. 2 fuel oil, efficiency 65%; (c) kerosene, efficiency 99.9% (unvented); and (d) wood with l5% moisture with an efficiency of 50%. Use the data in Tables 2.2, 2.7, and 2.13. The efficiencies are based on the HHV. Assume the cost of natural gas is $8/MBtu, the cost of No. 2 fuel oil is $3/gal, the cost of kerosene is $3.50/gal, and the cost of wood is $100/cord. Assume the bulk density of cord wood is 30 lbm/ft3 .
