Let us assume that the winter consists of 150 days in which the outside temperature is 0∘C. This will give the typical number of "heating degree days" observed in a winter along the northeastern US seaboard. (The cumulative number of heating degree days is given daily by the National Weather Service and is used by oil companies to determine when they should fill the tanks of their customers.) Given that a gallon (3.4 kg) of oil liberates Qgallon=1.4×108J when burned, how much oil will be needed to supply the heat lost by conduction from this house over a winter? Assume that the heating system is 75% efficient.
