Honors Assignments Firday and Monday

For tonight: study thermodynamic processes for reading type quiz tomorrow and do practice problems 2 and 3

For Monday: Complete worksheets from Friday in class and develop an equation for how much heat is transfered per second from the inside of a house wall to the outside. Consider the properties of the material all summed up in the thermal conductivity, kc (yeah, I know, another k) which has the units J/(sec m2 Kelvin); the thickness of the wall; the area of the wall; and the temperature difference between the inside and the outside. The units of kc should give you a good hint as to the rest of the equation.
