Consider a house that is approximated as a cube that is 8 m on a
side and has no windows. The house loses heat from the four
walls and the roof. For an inside temperature of 20°C and an
outside temperature of –20°C, it is desired to keep the total heat
loss less than 5 kW. What is the minimum RSj value that is
required for the walls and roof?
A line was measured to be 412 m using a 30-m tape, which is of standard length at a temperature of 20 deg.C. During measurement, the temperature was 52 deg.C. If the coefficient of thermal expansion of the tape material is 0.0000116 m/m deg.C, calculate the correct length of the line.
Calculate the thermal expansion of a concrete roof with the dimensions of 40 m×110 m for a temperature increase
of 50°C. Assume the coefficient of thermal expansion.
