1. The 30-year average temperature in Toronto, Canada, during summer is 19.5°C and during winter is -4.9°C. What are the equivalent average summer and winter temperatures in °F and °R?
2. Convert the following temperatures from °F to °C: (a) 86°F, (b) -22°F, (c) 50°F, (d) -40°F, (e) 32°F, (f) -459.67°F. Convert each temperature to K.
3. Natural gas is burned with air to produce gaseous products at 1985°C. Express this temperature in K, °R, and °F.
4. The temperature of a child ill with a fever is measured as 40°C. The child's normal temperature is 37°C. Express both temperatures in °F.
5. Does the Rankine degree represent a larger or smaller temperature unit than the Kelvin degree? Explain. Specified states, the change in temperature between the end states is independent of details of the process.
Body organs, such as the human heart, whose shapes change as they perform their normal functions can be studied as control volumes.
This book takes a microscopic approach to thermodynamics.
