How do you determine the error in temperature measurement?
After the sinking of RMS Titanic, US operated the International Ice patrol with the purpose of monitoring the presence and movements of icebergs in the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. Once, they observed a unique tabular iceberg in a form of a rectangle (250 km x 50 km x 300 m). How many years would it take to melt the iceberg solely by heat from the sun if the ice absorbs a mean of 98 J/m2 -s, 12.5 hrs per day? Note: the exposed area for heating is 250 km x 50 km and the density is 920 kg/m3 .
This is my solution.
The heat transfer between a solid body and a fluid medium is determined by the equation Q=h·A·(Ts-Tf). Here; Q is the amount of heat transferred, h is the heat transfer coefficient, A is the heat transfer surface area, Ts is the temperature of the surface and Tf is the temperature of the fluid. These parameters were measured as h=250±1.75 W/m2ºC, A=20±0.75 m2, Ts =100±0.75ºC and Tf =25±0.75ºC, including error levels. What is the total uncertainty in the amount of heat transferred, in ±%?

- The processing of raw coal involves “washing,” in which coal ash (nonorganic, incombustible material) is removed. The article “Quantifying Sampling Precision for Coal Ash Using Gy’s Discrete Model of the Fundamental Error” (Journal of Coal Quality, 1989:33–39) provides data relating the percentage of ash to the volume of a coal particle. The average percentage of ash for six volumes of coal particles was measured. The data are as follows: Volume (cm3) 0.01 0.06 0.58 2.24 15.55 276.02 Percent ash 3.32 4.05 5.69 7.06 8.17 9.36 Using the most appropriate model, predict the percent ash for particles with a volume of 48 cm3.
