(e)
Check whether one degree temperature difference in Celsius equal to one temperature difference in kelvin, and one degree temperature in Fahrenheit equal to one degree temperature difference in Rankine.
(e)
Explanation of Solution
Case 1:
Refer to part (c),
The outdoor-indoor temperature difference is
Refer to part (d),
The outdoor-indoor temperature difference is
From part (c) and part (d), outdoor-indoor temperature differences are equal.
Note:
Let the temperature difference in Kelvin is,
Formula to calculate the temperature in degree Celsius is,
Here,
Substitute
Thus, one degree temperature difference in Celsius is equal to one temperature difference in kelvin.
Case 2:
Refer to part (a),
The outdoor-indoor temperature difference is

- During winter, when people are in a well-insulated house,they usually feel comfortable if the air temperature is near22°C (72°F). If you have ever spent a night in a poorly insulatedcabin in winter, however, you will recognize that paradoxically,when people are in poorly insulated buildings, they often feelchilly even when the air inside is heated to 22°C or higher. Oneimportant reason for the difference in how warm people feel inthe two sorts of buildings is that even if a well-insulated andpoorly insulated building are identical in the air temperatureinside, they differ in thermal-radiation heat transfer. Specifically,a person standing in the two types of buildings experiencesdifferent heat exchange by thermal radiation in the two. Explainhow thermal-radiation heat transfer accounts for the sense ofchill in the poorly insulated building. (Hint: Think of the outerwalls of the two types of buildings, and think specifically of thetemperatures of the interior surfaces of those walls.)arrow_forwardCalculate the density of air at standard conditions (T - 25 °C and P a 1 atm).arrow_forwardA glass flask whose volume is 1000.00 cm³ at 0.0°C is completely filled with mercury at this temperature.
