The broader side of a rectangular fiberglass of dimensions 3.00 m x 3.00 m is brought near the flame. The flame is produced upon combustion of gasoline. The latent heat of combustion of gasoline is 46.0 x 10^3 J/g. If the rate of combustion is 0.002 gram per second, determine the minimum thickness of the fiberglass (in m) so that the temperature difference between hot and cold sides of the fiberglass is 20 Cº. (Express your answer in cm and nearest whole number. Example: 2 cm)

36. GO A copper pipe with an outer radius of 0.013 m runs from an outdoor wall faucet into the interior of a house. The temperature of the faucet is 4.0 °C, and the temperature of the pipe, at 3.0 m from the faucet, is 25 °C. In fifteen minutes, the pipe conducts a total of 270 J of heat to the outdoor faucet from the house interior. Find the inner radius of the pipe. Ignore any water inside the pipe.
When the indoor temperature of a house is 25°C and the outdoor temperature is -8°C, the inside and outside surfaces of the glass are measured to be 21.3°C and 17.3°C. If the glass has an area of 3.16 m2 and a thickness of 6.14 mm, what is the rate of heat (in W) lost though the window? {kglass = 0.78 W/m∙K}
A pot holds 2.95 kg of liquid water at 100.0 ̊C (at the boiling point). The bottom of the pot is circular, with a radius of 12.5 cm and a thickness of 1.00 cm. The pot is made of stainless steel, which has a thermal conductivity of 15.1 W m−1 K−1. The pot is put to a flame so that the temperature directly underneath the pot is 145.0 ̊C. (a) Find the rate of heat conduction through the bottom of the pot, in units of Watts (W). (b) How long will it take to boil all of the water away, in minutes? Assume that there is only heat conduction through the bottom of the pot, and ignore any other type of heat flow to the water. The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2,260,000 J kg−1.
