One easy way to reduce heating (and cooling) costs is to add extra insulation in the attic of a house. Suppose a single-story cubical house already had 15 cm of fiberglass insulation in the attic and in all the exterior surfaces. If you added an extra 8.0 cm of fiberglass to the attic, by what percentage would the heating cost of the house drop? Take the house to have dimensions 10 m by 15 m by 3.0m. Ignore air infiltration and heat loss through windowsand doors, and assume that the interior is uniformly at one temperature and the exterior is uniformly at another.
Explain why the temperature of gas drops in an adiabatic expansion.
On a cold windy day, a window will feel colder than on an equally cold day with no wind. This is true even if no air leaks in near the window. Why?

- While wearing a NASA (Shuttle or ISS) spacesuit, you wear a tight-fitting garment containing tubes that carry flowing water. This helps to prevent you from freezing dehydrating developing motion sickness sweating too much overheating The chief way that spacesuits are made as flexible as possible in the joints is by making them out of extremely elastic, rubbery material minimizing the atmospheric pressure inside the suits setting the interior temperature of the suits to 80 degrees Fahrenheit using extremely well-lubricated ball bearings in the jointsarrow_forwardLong-distance balloon flights are usually made using a hot-airballoon/ helium-balloon hybrid.

- If you launch a projectile upward with a high enough speed, its kinetic energy is sufficient to allow it to escape the earth’s gravity— it will go up and not come back down. Given enough time, hydrogen and helium gas atoms in the earth’s atmosphere will escape, so these elements are not present in our atmosphere. Explain why hydrogen and helium atoms have the necessary speed to escape but why other elements, such as oxygen and nitrogen, do not.arrow_forwardHow hot is the air in the top (crown) of a hot air balloon? Information from Ballooning: The Complete Guide to Riding the Winds, by Wirth and Young (Random House), claims that the air in the crown should be an average of 100°C for a balloon to be in a state of equilibrium. However, the temperature does not need to be exactly 100°C. What is a reasonable and safe range of temperatures? This range may vary with the size and (decorative) shape of the balloon. All balloons have a temperature gauge in the crown. Suppose that 58 readings (for a balloon in equilibrium) gave a mean temperature of x = 97°C. For this balloon, ? ≈ 22°C.

Such volumes are a fundamental idea in the study of the flow of compressible fluids such as gases as well. For the equations of hydrodynamics to apply, the mean free path must be much less than the linear size of such a volume, adV1/3 . For air in the stratosphere at a temperature of 220 K and a pressure of 5.8 kPa, how big should a be for it to be 100 times the mean free path? Take the effective radius of air molecules to be 1.881011 m, which is roughly correct for N2.arrow_forward
