Considering only conductive heat losses, calculate the heating load in BTU/H for a home constructed as follows:

walls: 2 inch hardwood planks, plus 1/2 inch lapped wood siding and 1/2 sheetrock (drywall) inside.

roof: flat, 1 inch plywood finished with asbestos shingles, with 3.5 inches fiberglass insulation.

floor: 25/32 inch wood subfloor with 3/4 inch hardwood finish, over unheated crawl space

windows: single pain glass, covering 25% of the wall area

House size is 28 ft x 40 ft x 10 ft high

Assume the home is maintained 40F warmer than outside, and 10F warmer than the crawlspace.

Assume your answer in units of BTU/hr

calculate the conductive heat flux (W) for the different “feather” materials. Material “A” has a K of 0.036 W/mK and increases the bird’s x by 2.769 x 10-3 m. Material “B” has a K of 0.17 W/mK and increases the bird’s x by 1.308 x 10-2 m. The bird’s internal temperature is 311.0 K (we are assuming that they are endothermic) and the temperature of the ground is 260.0 K. The distance from the exterior of the bird’s skin to...

Calculate q (heat) for the Mg/HCl reaction in units of kj. Calculate delta H in units of kj/mol. Will q be positive or negative ? Why ? Please explain why it is positive or negative because I am very confused about the rules regarding the value of q and telling whether if it will be positive or negative based on the inital and final temperatures given. Thank you. Given : Final Temp- 32.2 celscius Intinial temp- 21.3 c= 3.93 j/g...
