Human Metabolism

Being described as the most complicated machine ever encountered by humans, the human body and the cell metabolism is nothing less than a wonder. Metabolism is the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions within organisms.

Question

**Problem Description:**

A large room in a house holds 957 kg of dry air at 32.2°C. A woman opens a window briefly and a cool breeze brings in an additional 64.4 kg of dry air at 13.2°C. At what temperature (in degrees Celsius) will the two air masses come into thermal equilibrium, assuming they form a closed system? (The specific heat of dry air is 1006 J/kg°C, although that value will cancel out of the calorimetry equation.)
