An ideal gas initially at 300 K undergoes an isobaric expansion at 2.50 kPa. If the volume increases from 1.00 m3 to 3.00 m3 and 12.5 kJ is transferred to the gas by heat, what are (a) the change in its internal energy and (b) its final temperature?
An aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross-sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 300 K. (a) If one-half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool. (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K, what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)

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.
