This is a project you can do if you have a bike pump or a syringe (no needle!). When the pump handle is fully-extended, the cylinder of a hand-held bike pump has a volume of 2.0 in^3 . If a person holds their thumb over the exit hole (no needles!) and push on the pump handle to compress the air you can increase the pressure in the cylinder. Let us presume that a pressure of 45 lbf/in^2. Atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi and the outside temperature is 100 degF.

a. Determine the final volume and the final temperature of the gas if the process is done slowly (about 1 hour)
b. Determine the final volume and the final temperature of the gas if the process is done quickly (about 1 second)
c. Be certain to identify and list any assumptions that are needed to answer these questions

Awall of 0.5m thickness is to be constructed from a material which has average thermal conductivity of 1.4 w/mk. the wall is to be insulated with a material having an average thermal conductivity of 0.35 w/mk so that heat loss per square meter shall not exceed 1450 w. assume inner wall surface temperature of 1200°c and outer surface temperature of the insulation to be 15°c. calculate the thickness of insulation required.
