In 2011, artist Hans-Peter Feldmann covered the walls of a gallery at the New York Guggenheim Museum with 100,000 one-dollar bills (Fig. P1.48). Approximately how much would it cost you to wallpaper your room in one-dollar bills, assuming the bills do not overlap? Consider the cost of the bills alone, not other supplies or labor costs.

This was wrong. Can you solve this again with these numbers? What is the root mean square velocity, vrms, for Hydrogen molecules (H2) at 20oC? Hint: How many amu does an H2 molecule contain. 1 amu = 1.67 x 10-27 kg Boltzman's Constant, k = 1.38 x 10-23 J/K Give your answer in m/s to 4 significant figures (NO DECIMALS)
2.26. The Prandtl number, Npr, is a dimensionless group important in heat-transfer calculations. It is defined as Cpulk, where C, is the heat capacity of a fluid, u is the fluid viscosity, and k is the thermal conductivity. For a particular fluid, C, = 0.583 J/(g-°C), k = 0.286 W/(m-°C), and u = 1936 lbm/(ft-h). Estimate the %3D value of Npr without using a calculator (remember, it is dimensionless), showing your calculations; then determine it with a calculator.

The quantity of energy Q transferred by heat conduction through an insulating pad in time interval Δt is described by Q/Δt = κAΔT/d, where κ is the thermal conductivity of the material, A is the face area of the pad (perpendicular to the direction of heat flow), ΔT is the difference in temperature across the pad, and d is the thickness of the pad. In one trial to test material as lining for sleeping bags, 86.0 J of heat is transferred through a 3.40-cm-thick pad when the temperature on one side is 37.0°C and on the other side is 2.00°C. In a trial of the same duration with the same temperatures, how much heat will be transferred when more of the material is added to form a pad with the same face area and total thickness 8.41 cm?
