The pressure, volume, and temperature of a mole of an ideal gas are related by the equation PV = 8.31T, where P is measured in kilopascals, V in liters, and T in kelvins. Use differentials to find the approximate change in the pressure (in kPa) if the volume increases from 14 L to 14.3 L and the temperature decreases from 325 K to 320 K.

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.
