A computer in a well-sealed and well-insulated (thermally) room, dissipates energy at a rate of 500W. The room has 10 mw kg of drinking water, and 50 ma kg of air, with all material at 300K and 100kPa initially. Assuming all the mass (water and air) heats up uniformly, how long will it take to increase the temperature 5 dT °C?.
A mercury thermometer still in use for meteorology has a bulb with a volume of 0.780 cm3 and a tube for the mercury to expand into of inside diameter 0.130 mm. (a) Neglecting the thermal expansion of the glass, what is the spacing between marks 1 apart? (b) If the thermometer is made of ordinary glass (not a good idea), what is the spacing?
As the very first rudiment of climatology, estimate the temperature of Earth. Assume it is a perfect sphere and its temperature is uniform. Ignore the greenhouse effect. Thermal radiation from the Sun has an intensity (the "solar constant" S) of about 1370 W/m2 at the radius of Earth's orbit. (a) Assuming the Sun's rays are parallel, what area must S be multiplied by to get the total radiation intercepted by Earth? It will be easiest to answer in tens of Earth's radius, R. (b) Assume that Earth reflects about 30% of the solar energy it intercepts. In other words, Earth has an albedo with a value of A=0.3 . In terms of S, and R, what is the rate at which Earth absorbs energy from the Sun? (c) Find the temperature at which Earth radiates energy at the same rate. Assume that at the infrared wavelengths where it radiates, the emissivity e is 1. Does your result show that the greenhouse effect is important? (d) How does your answer depend on the area of Earth?

Objects A and B have the same size and shape with emissivities eA and eB and temperatures TA and TB, respectively. (a) If eA = eB and TB = 4TA, what is the ratio PB /PA of their radiated powers? (b) If, instead, they radiate the same power and eA = 4eB, what is the ratio TB /TA of their Kelvin temperatures?
The escape speed from the Earth is 1.12 x 104 m/s so thata gas molecule traveling away from Earth near the outerboundary of the Earth’s atmosphere would, at this speed,be able to escape from the Earth’s gravitational field and belost to the atmosphere. At what temperature is the rmsspeed of (a) oxygen molecules, and (b) helium atomsequal to 1.12 x104 m/s (c) Can you explain why ouratmosphere contains oxygen but not helium?

At midday when a large construction site covered with black tarps is directly under the Sun, it receives 975 W of solar power per square meter of surface from the Sun. If this hot surface loses energy only by radiation back into the atmosphere, what is its equilibrium temperature (in K)? You may use an emissivity of e = 1 for a black surface.
(a) Cherry-red embers in a fireplace are at 850ºC and have an exposed area of 0.200 m2 and an emissivity of 0.980. The surrounding room has a temperature of 18.0ºC . If 50% of the radiant energy enters the room, what is the net rate of radiant heat transfer in kilowatts? (b) Does your answer support the contention that most of the heat transferinto a room by a fireplace comes from infrared radiation?
As a rough approximation, the human body may be considered to be a cylinder of length L=2.0m and circumference C=0.8m. (To simplify things, ignore the circular top and bottom of the cylinder, and just consider the cylindrical sides.) If the emissivity of skin is taken to be e=0.6, and the surface temperature is taken to be T=30∘C, how much thermal power P does the human body radiate?

A body whose surface area is 0.2 m2, emissivity is 0.8, and temperature is 100°C is placed in a large, evacuated chamber whose walls are at 25°C. What is the rate at which radiation is emitted by the surface, in W? What is the net rate at which radiation is exchanged between the surface and the chamber walls, in W?
