At 25.0 m below the surface of the sea, where the temperature is 5.00C, a diver exhales an air bubble having a volume of 1.00 cm3. If the surface temperature of the sea is 20.0C, what is the volume of the bubble just before it breaks the surface?
One way to cool a gas is to let it expand. When a certain gas under a pressure of 5.00 106 Ha at 25.0C is allowed to expand to 3.00 times its original volume, its final pressure is 1.07 106 Pa. (a) What is the initial temperature of the gas in Kelvin? (b) What is the final temperature of the system? (See Section 10.4.)

A particular pair of human lungs have a volume of 1.8 L when inflated. At this volume, the temperature inside the lungs is 98.7°F. If the temperature of the air outside the lung is 43.2°F, what volume of cooler outside air is being inhaled and warmed? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
The amount of heat per second conducted from the blood capillaries beneath the skin to the surface is 260 J/s. The energy is transferred a distance of 1.5 x 103 m through a body whose surface area is 1.4 m². Assuming that the thermal conductivity is that of body fat, determine the temperature difference between the capillaries and the surface of the skin.
One of the possible mechanisms of heat transfer in human body is conduction through body fat. Suppose that heat travels through 0.03 m of fat in reaching the skin, which has a total surface area of 1.7 m? and a temperature of 34°C. Find the amount of heat that reaches the skin in half an hour, if the temperature at the body, interior is maintained at the normal value 37°C ? Thermal conductivity of body fat is k = 0.2 J/sm°C. The air in a room is at 25°C and outside temperature is 0°C.

The average thermal conductivity of the walls (including windows) and roof of a house in the figure shown below is 4.8 10-4 kW/m · °C, and their average thickness is 20.8 cm. The house is heated with natural gas, with a heat of combustion (energy given off per cubic meter of gas burned) of 9,300 kcal/m3. How many cubic meters of gas must be burned each day to maintain an inside temperature of 25.9°C if the outside temperature is 0.0°C? Disregard surface air layers, radiation, and energy loss by heat through the ground. m3 A house has a rectangular base and a roof that peaks along a line above the center of the house and parallel to the length of the house. This roof slopes downward from the peak to each edge at an angle of 37.0° with the horizontal. The length of the front of the house is 10.0 meters. The width of the house is 8.00 meters. The height from the front of the house up to the edge of the roof is 5.00 meters.
