The average thermal conductivity of the walls (including windows) and roof of a house in the figure shown below is 4.8 x 104 kW/m - °C, and their average thickness is 20.8 cm. The house is heated with natural gas, with a heat of combustion (energy given off per cubic meter of gas burned) of 9,300 kcal/m3. How many cubic meters of gas must be burned each day to maintain an inside temperature of 27.3°C if the outside temperature is 0.0°C?

Suppose you place 0.265 kg of 24.5°C water in a 0.45 kg aluminum pan with a temperature of 147.5°C, and 0.0125 kg of the water evaporates immediately, leaving the remainder to come to a common temperature with the pan. What would be the final temperature, in degrees Celsius, of the pan and water? The heat of vaporization of water is Lv = 2256 kJ/kg. You may neglect the effects of the surroundings and the heat required to raise the temperature of the vaporized water. Te =
