A dead body was found within a closed room of a house where the temperature was a constant 66 °F. At the time of discovery, the core temperature of the body wasdetermined to be 88 ° F. One hour later a second measurement showed that the core temperature of the body was 75 ° F. Assume that the time of death corresponds to t = 0 and that the core temperature at that time was 98.6 ° F. Determine how many hours elapsed before the body was found. Type your answer in hours in the space provided below. Round your answer to one decimal place.

An object follows Newton's law of Heating/Cooling. If the object cools from 125°C to 84°C after 37minutes. Note: the ambient temperature is 20°C. How much more time(minutes) needs to pass to reach 47°C.
Two vessels of different shape and sizes are connected by means of a pipe with a valve. Vessel A has a diameter of 4 ft and the length is 1.8 m at the given pressure gauge of 1476.4 in Hg and temperature of 82°F. Another vessel spherical in shape contains the same gas at 15,000 torr gauge and 18°C.

EXPERIMENT PROBLEM: A certain mechanical device with a mechanism similar to a piston contains a certain amount of gas. Upon compression from 55 L to 15 L, the gas released 350 J of heat. Experiment shows that the external pressure of the mechanical device is given by: Pext = AsinV + BcosV + CsinhV + DcoshV Where: A = 100 B = 80 C = 1x10⁻²⁵ D = 5x10⁻³⁰ sin = sine function cos = cosine function sinh = hyperbolic sine function cosh = hyperbolic cosine function V = in liters Pext = in atm Determine the change in internal energy of the system in kilojoules. TIP: usually, expressions involving trigonometric functions are in radians.
During processing in a steel mill, a 900 lb steel casting at 800°F is quenched by plunging it into a 550 gal oil bath, which is initially at a temperature of 100°F. After the casting cools and the oil bath warms, what is the final temperature of the two? The weight per unit volume of the oil is 7.5 lb/gal. (Express your answer using four significant figures.)

There is 2 kilograms of gas with a molecular weight of 28, located in a rigid tank which is closed and equipped with an electrical resistor. A fixed resistance of 10 amperes and a voltage of 12 volts are applied to this system for 10 minutes. When thermal equilibrium is reached, it is seen that the temperature of the gas rises by 40.3°C. The heat transfer to the environment is estimated at 20 W. Assuming ideal gas behavior, in this temperature range the gas Find the average value of its specific heat Cp. (kj/kg K)
