(a) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through house walls that are 13.0 cm thick and that have an average thermal conductivi

ty twice that of glass wool. Assume there are no windows or doors. The surface area of the walls is 120 m2 and their inside surface is at 18.0 oC, while their outside surface is at 5.0 oC. (b) How many 1-kW room heaters would be needed to balance the heat transfer due to conduction

Answer:

a. 960 W b. One 1 kW room heater

Explanation:

a. The rate of heat conduction P = kA(T₂ - T₁)/d where k = 2 × 0.040 W/m-K =  0.080 W/m-K since the thermal conductivity of glass wool is 0.040 W/m-K and that of the material is twice the thermal conductivity of glass wool, A = area of walls = 120 m², T₁ = outside surface temperature = 5.0 °C, T₂ = inside surface temperature = 18.0 °C and d = thickness of wall = 13.0 cm = 0.13 m

P = kA(T₂ - T₁)/d

= 0.080 W/m-K × 120 m²(18.0 °C - 5.0 °C)/0.13 m

= 9.6 Wm/K × 13 K/0.13 m

= 124.8 Wm/0.13 m

= 960 W

b. The number of 1 kW room heater required will be

n = rate of heat conduction/power of one room heater = 960 W/ 1 kW = 960 W/1000 W = 0.96 ≅ 1

So we need only one 1 kW room heater.

After driving a portion of the route, the taptap is fully loaded with a total of 27 people including the driver, with an average
belka [17]

We will define the Total mass to calculate the force, so our values are:M_p = 69*27=1823Kg\\M_g=15*3=45Kg\\M_c=3*5=15Kg\\M_B=25Kg

Total Mass = 1863+45+15+25=1948Kg

The Weight is,

F=mg=1948*98=19090.4N

Through the hook's Law we calculate X.

F_s=Kx, where x is the lenght of compression and K the Spring constant.

We don't have a K-Spring, but we can assume a random value (or simply let the equation in function of K)

X = \frac{F_s}{x} \\X = \frac{1909.4}{k}

I assume a value of K=4*10^4N/m

X= \frac{1909.4}{4*10^4} = 0.48m

TRUE OR FALSE : Boyle’s law states that, as the pressure of a gas increases, the volume decreases.
White raven [17]

True, but only if the temperature of the gas doesn't change ...
which is pretty hard to manage when you're compressing it.

I think Boyle's law actually says something like

       (pressure) x (volume) / (temperature)  =  constant.

So you can see that if you want to say anything about two of the
quantities, you always have to stipulate that the statement is true
as long as the third one doesn't change.
