Since the industrial revolution (~1750), humans have released over 1.5 trillion tons of CO2into the Earth’s atmosphere. How much carbon (CO2 as carbon) has been released into the atmosphere?
Typical heating values of natural gas from various parts of the U.S. are shown in the accompanying table. Calculate the average, variance, and standard deviation for the given data.
! Required information Sometimes equations can be developed and practical problems solved by knowing nothing more than the dimensions of the key parameters. For example, consider the heat loss through a window in a building. Window efficiency is rated in terms of R value, which has the unit of ft2-hr-°F/Btu. A certain manufacturer offers a double-pane window with R=2.5 and also a triple-pane window with R= 3.4. Both windows are 3.5 ft by 5 ft. On a given winter day, the temperature difference between the inside and outside is 45°F. How much heat is lost through the double-pane window? Btu

PART 1: Reading: Read the text below. Then answer the questions that follow. (1) Around 45% of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions come from the energy people use every day - at home and when they travel. In order to generate that energy, fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) are burnt, and these produce greenhouse gases - in particular carbon dioxide (CO2). Car emissions are a major problem, but the truth is that more CO2 comes from the energy used at home. The average household creates around five and a half tonnes of CO2 a year, and it is that same CO2 which is changing the climate and damaging the environment. (2) CO2 and various other gases wrap the earth in an invisible blanket helping to prevent heat from escaping. Without this greenhouse effect, the average temperature on Earth would be around -18°C, compared with the current average of around +15°C. The composition of this blanket of gases has remained relatively constant for many thousands of years. However, since the industrial…
