Question

The exterior walls of a house have a total area of 194 m2 and are at 12.4°C and the surrounding air is at 7.4° C. Find the rate of convective cooling of the walls, assuming a convection coefficient of 2.9 W/(m2·°C). Since you're looking for the rate of cooling, your answer should be entered as positive.

#### Table of Latent Heat Values

The table below provides information on the latent heat required for phase transitions of water. 

| **Substance** | **Latent Heat (J/kg)** |
|---------------|------------------------|
| Steam ⇔ Water | 2,260,000              |
| Ice ⇔ Water   | 333,000                |

**Explanation:**

- **Substance**: This column lists the different phase transitions of water. "Steam ⇔ Water" refers to the transition between steam and liquid water, while "Ice ⇔ Water" refers to the transition between ice and liquid water.

- **Latent Heat (J/kg)**: This column indicates the amount of energy, measured in joules per kilogram (J/kg), required to change the phase of a given mass of substance without changing its temperature. 

  - For steam to water (or vice versa), the latent heat is 2,260,000 J/kg.
  - For ice to water (or vice versa), the latent heat is 333,000 J/kg.
