In 1986, a gargantuan iceberg broke away from the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica. It was approximately a rectangle 160 km long, 40.0 km wide, and 250 m thick. (a) What is the mass of this iceberg, given that the density of ice is 917kg/m3 ? (b) How much heat transfer (in joules) is needed to melt it? (c) How many years would it take sunlight alone to melt ice this thick, if the ice absorbs an average of 100W/m2, 12.00 h per day?
(a) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through a double-paned window that has a 150-m2 area and is made of two panes of 0.800 cm-thick glass separated by a 1.00 cm air gap. The inside surface temperature is 15.0 C, while that on the outside is 10.0 OC. (Hint: There are identical temperature drops across the two glass panes. First find these and then the temperature drop across the air gap. This problem ignores the increased heat transfer in the air gap due to convection.) (b) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through a 1.60-cm-thick window of the same area and with the same temperatures. Compare your answer with that for part (a).

Heat flows through a pipe wall, with a radius in Ri and outer radius Ro. The length of the pipe is L. The thermal conductivity of the pipe material is proportional to the temperature squared in the form: k=aT²+b a. Derive the equation for the pipe wall temperature profile, b. Calculate the heat loss through the pipe wall.
A boy was rushed to the hospital for a medical attention as a result of his body becoming very hot. When his temperature was checked, the thermometer read 39OC. This temperature then reduced by 3OC after he was administered with of a first aid. Calculate the temperature of the boy after the administration of the first aid in degree Fahrenheit and degree Rankin.
