A small building has a heater inside it running with its door left open. The heater is the only device in the building. When the heater runs, it consumes 250 W. The building is 3m X 3m X 2.5m. The temperature outside is 25 degrees celsius, and the the wind is blowing at 10km per hour. Estimate the temperature inside the building if the walls and ceiling are made of 13 mm thick plywood and 13 mm thick drywall with 100 mm of air inbetween. The floor is perfectly insulated and there aren't any cracks in the walls ceiling or door frame. Make any other reasonable assumptions as needed

Alligators and other reptiles don’t use enough metabolic energy to keep their body temperatures constant. They cool off at night and must warm up in the sun in the morning. Suppose a 300 kg alligator with an early-morning bodytemperature of 25°C is absorbing radiation from the sun at a rate of 1200 W. How long will the alligator need to warm up to a more favorable 30°C? (Assume that the specific heat of the reptilian body is the same as that of the mammalian body.)
A heat pump with a COP of 2.8 is used to heat an air-tight house. When running, the heat pump consumes 5 kW of power. If the temperature in the house is 7°C when the heat pump is turned on, how long will it take for the heat pump to raise the temperature of the house to 22°C? Is this answer realistic or optimistic? Explain. Assume the entire mass within the house (air, furniture, etc.) is equivalent to 1500 kg of air.
Ethyl alcohol has a boiling point of 78.0◦C, a freezing point of -114◦C, a heat of vaporization of 879 kJ/kg, a heat of fusion of 109 kJ/kg, and a specific heat (at liquid form) of 2.43kJ/kg·K. How much energy must be removed from 650g of ethyl alcohol that is initially a gas at 78.0◦C so that it becomes a solid at -114◦C?
A helium balloon is filled to 2.5 L at 290 K. Outside, on a cold winter day, the balloon shrivels to 2.2 L. What is the outside temperature in Celsius?
A pronghorn antelope can run at a remarkable 18 m/sm/s for up to 10 minutes, almost triple the speed that an elite human runner can maintain. For a 32 kgkg pronghorn, this requires an astonishing 3.4 kWkW of metabolic power, which leads to a significant increase in body temperature. If the pronghorn had no way to exhaust heat to the environment, by how much would its body temperature increase during this run? (In fact, it will lose some heat, so the rise won't be this dramatic, but it will be quite noticeable, requiring adaptations that keep the pronghorn's brain cooler than its body in such circumstances.) Assume the efficiency of the pronghorn to be equal to that of human.
