You drive a car on a winter day with the atmospheric air at -15 and you keep the outside frontwindshield surface temperature at +2 by blowing hot air on the inside surface. If the windshield is 0.5m 2 and the outside convection coefficient is 250 W/m 2 ·K, find the rate of energy loss (q) through thefront windshield. (hint: q=hA)
The temperature of the ocean off the coast of New Jersey ranges from about 3 °C in late winter to about 24 °C in late summer. If we assume that the ocean temperature is representative of a layer that is 25 m deep and the only exchange of energy is at the ocean surface, what is the average energy flux at ocean surface that would be required to account for this temperature change?
To save energy, some ceiling fans are reversible so that they drive air down or pull it up. In which direction should the fan drive the air during winter? In which direction during summer?

- You put two uncovered pails of water, one containing hot water and one containing cold water, outside in below-freezing weather. The pail with the hot water will usually begin to freeze first. Why? What would happen if you covered the pails?arrow_forwardIt is well known that wind makes the cold air feel much colder as a result of the wind chill effect that is due to the increase in the convection heat transfer coefficient with increasing air velocity. The wind chill effect is usually expressed in terms of the wind chill temperature (WCT), which is the apparent temperature felt by exposed skin. For outdoor air temperature of 0°C, for example, the wind chill temperature is 25°C at 20 km/h winds and -9°C at 60 km/h winds. That is, a person exposed to 0°C windy air at 20 km/h will feel as cold as a person exposed to -5°C calm air (air motion under 5 km/h). For heat transfer purposes, a standing man can be modeled as a 30-cm-diameter, 170-cm-long vertical cylinder with both the top and bottom surfaces insulated and with the side surface at an average temperature of 34°C. For a convection heat transfer coefficient of 15 W/m2·K, determine the rate of heat loss from this man by convection in still air at 20°C. What would your answer be if the…arrow_forwardThe Greenland ice sheet is thought to affect (or be affected by) climate in the North Atlantic and Europe, and is currently more than 100,000 years old. The sheet is of the order of 2400x1100 km in surface area and 2.5 km deep. If the energy imbalance to the sheet is such that it is getting a net of 250 watts/m2 energy coming in, how long will it take for it to melt? The heat of fusion of water is 334 J/g.

- Why its it important, when building a terrarium, to use a clear container, such as glass? (a) so that the owner can determent whether there is enough air in the container (b) so that plants know when it is day or night, because they prefer to grow during the day (c) because plants need access to an energy source in order to produce sugars and oxygen (d) Because you wouldn’t able to look at your plants if the container wasn’t cleararrow_forwardThe temperature of the air in thermals decreases about 108C for each 1,000 m they rise. If a thermal leaves the ground with a temperature of 308C and a relative humidity of 31 percent, at what altitude will the air become saturated and the water vapor begin to condense to form a cloud? (In other words, at what altitude does the temperature equal the dew point?arrow_forwardYou are camping on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon at an elevation of 8200 feet. When it is 75°F at your camp, it is 104°F along the Colorado River at the canyon's bottom at an elevation of 2400 feet. What is the average rate of change in temperature with rising elevation?arrow_forward
- Why do fishermen sail out to the sea in the night? What process helps them to sail easily to the sea in the night and come back to the shore in the morning? think about processes like conduction, convection and radiationarrow_forwardIn the chapter on fluid mechanics, Bernoulli's equation for the flow of incompressible fluids was explained in terms of changes affecting a small volume dV of fluid. Such volumes are a fundamental idea in the study of the flow of compressible fluids such as gases as well. For the equations of hydrodynamics to apply, the mean free path must be much less than the linear size of such a volume, adV1/3 . For air in the stratosphere at a temperature of 220 K and a pressure of 5.8 kPa, how big should a be for it to be 100 times the mean free path? Take the effective radius of air molecules to be 1.881011 m, which is roughly correct for N2.arrow_forwardYou can make rain in your kitchen. Put a cup of water in a Pyrex saucepan or a glass coffeemaker and heat it slowly over a low flame. When the water is warm, place a saucer filled with ice cubes on top of the container. As the water below is heated, droplets form at the bottom of the cold saucer and combine until they are large enough to fall, producing a steady “rainfall” as the water below is gently heated. How does this resemble, and how does it differ from, the way in which natural rain is formed?arrow_forward
- During a cold winter day, wind at 55 km/h is blowing parallel to a 4-m-high and 10-m-long wall of a house. If the air outside is at 5°C and the surface temperature of the wall is 12°C, determine the rate of heat loss from that wall by convection. What would your answer be if the wind velocity was doubled?arrow_forwardQuestion: Mars is about half the size of Earth by diameter and has a much thinner atmosphere, with an average surface pressure of 610 Pa which is less than 1% of Earth's atmospheric pressure. The temperature ranges from -70 °C to near 0°C during the day. A 650 L gas collected from Mars's atmosphere at -40 °C and 610 Pa is brought to Earth. This gas sample will occupy how many liters on a city with 10 °C temperature and 640 mmHg pressure?arrow_forwardThe thermal conductivity of snow varies by how tightly packed it is, but for snow of 100 kg/m3 density ,it is about 0.045 W/m/°C or 0.026 Btu/hr/°F. A half foot of snow will thus have an R-value of 19. A typical igloo is about 12 ft to 15ft in diameter and so it has a surface area of about 300ft2 .(We will ignore the floor ). Igloolik ,Nunavut , Canada requires about 20,000 degree days (Fahrenheit units) for a typical year .Calculate how many kilowatt hours you would need to keep your igloo cozy.arrow_forward
