temperature in the balloon (set 1, prob 1.15, 60 ft diameter) by 10 K?
Set 4. Due Monday March 26, 2012
- Problem 1.57 a), b), and c) p.39
- Estimate the dimensions of the SRC open area (walls, ceiling,
glass) and assign an R value to each part. Then calculate the heat flow
for a temperature difference of 20 F, in watts. (This power would have
to be supplied if the building was warmer than its surroundings.
Cooling is another case.)
- Problem 1.62, p. 40. You want net heat flow into an element of
length dx, in from the left, out at the right. This will cause a
temperature change within the length element

Set 5. Due Friday March 30, 2012
- Problem 2.8, p. 59. Do it for each solid having 15 oscillators,
and they share a total of 30 units of energy.
- Problem 2.10, p. 60
- Problem 2.17, p. 64
- Problem 3.5, p. 91 (You can start where I started 3.25, but you
must make the approximation q << N right away.)
- Problem 3.24, p. 107
- Problem 3.28, p. 113
