Wearing layers of clothing in cold weather is often recommended because dead-air spaces between the layers help to keep the body warm. The explanation for this is that the heat loss from the body is less. Assume the temperature difference between the inner and outer surface of the clothing is a constant, compare the rate of heat loss for single layer of 2cm-thick wool and three layers of 0.67cm-thick wool separated by 1.5 mm air gaps (calculate the ratio between the two scenarios). The thermal conductivities of the wool and the air are 0.04 W/m/K and 0.024 W/m/K respectively.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
