Your newly purchased house where you are aiming for an indoor temperature of 18.0°C is well insulated apart from a 5.0 cm thick 12m² wooden wall facing the garage. Typically, the garage maintains a temperature of at least 9.0°C even in winter. What power do you lose because of the wall? One winter evening, the garage door gets stuck in the upright position and you want to know what the indoor temperature will be when the coldest night is -15.0 ° C in the garage. You can heat the room with a 400 W power element.

Expert Solution
The rate of heat energy transfer through the conduction process is a function of thermal conductivity of the material considered, area of the surface considered, the temperature of the hot region as well as cold region, and the thickness of the material considered.
In the given problem by fourirer law of conduction first we need to find the thermal conductivity of wall materials to find the required heat loss.

Q1. You want to keep the indoor temperature of
an office at 25oC. The outdoor temperature is 5oC. The heat
transfer through the building’s exterior is 3 x 106 kJ. To achieve
the desired indoor temperature, you are exploring three heat pumps
operating between the office interior and: (i) the ground at 12oC;
(ii) a pond at 10oC; and (iii) the air outside at 5oC.
For each case, what is the minimum theoretical net work input
(in kJ) any heat...

a dead body was found within a closed room of a house
where the temperature was at 21°C. at the time of discovery the
core temperature of the body was determined to be 28°C. One hour
later the second measurement show that the core temperature
of the body was 25°C. assume that the time of death corresponds to
t = 0 and that the core temperature at the time was 37°C. determine
how many hours elapsed before the body was...

A dead body was found within a closed room of a house where the
temperature was a constant 70° F. At the time of discovery the core
temperature of the body was determined to be 80° F. One hour later
a second measurement showed that the core temperature of the body
was 75° F. Assume that the time of death corresponds to
t = 0 and that the core temperature at that time
was 98.6° F. Determine how many hours...

You just purchased the lockbox below to store a spare set of
keys for your house. It allows you to set a passcode using digits
from 0 to 9:
How it works:
-Each digit is either ON or OFF, so pushing the same button
twice removes it from the combination (as opposed to adding it a
second time to the code). E.g. pressing 2, 7, 4 or pressing 2, 7,
3, 4, 3 would produce the same code: 274
-It...
