How many kilowatts must be supplied by the heating system of this house to keep it at constant temperature?

Problem 66

Metabolism warms bedroom Because of its metabolic processes, your body continually emits thermal energy. Suppose that the air in your bedroom absorbs all of this thermal energy during the time you sleep at night. Estimate the temperature change you expect in this air. Indicate any assumptions you make.

Problem 68

House ventilation For purposes of ventilation, the inside air in a home should be replaced with outside air once every 2 hours. This air infiltration occurs naturally by leakage through tiny cracks around doors and windows, even in well- caulked and weather-stripped homes. ( a) Estimate the mass
of air lost every 2 $\mathrm{h}$ and each second. (b) Estimate the energy per second needed to warm outside air leaking into the house during a winter night. State your assumptions.

Problem 69

Frostbite When exposed to very cold temperatures, the human body maintains core body temperature by reducing blood circulation to the skin and extremities, and skin and extremity temperatures drop. This can eventually lead to frost bite. Explain why this helps conserve thermal energy.

Problem 73

When rising humid air starts to condense, why does its temperature change less rapidly with increasing elevation?

(a) Its density increases, making it more difficult to change temperature.
(b) Thermal energy released during condensation causes less thermal energy change.
(c) The gas expands less, causing less negative work.
(d) The temperature of the surrounding air is changing less.

Problem 74

After crossing a mountain top on a warm sunny day, what should cool dry air do?
(a) $\operatorname{sink}$ , because it is denser than warmer air below
(b) Warm, because the surrounding gas does positive work in causing it to contract
(c) Not change, as the surrounding air transfers little thermal energy by heating $(Q \approx 0)$
(d) and b are correct.
