Problem
Imagine a column of air with a height of 100 m and a cross-sectional area of 1 m2. Assume that the air density in this column is 1.2 kg/m3. How much heat must be added to this air to raise its temperature by 5oC?
Determine the temperature of an air parcel after it rises from sea level to a height of 5000 m. At sea level, the parcel's temperature was 15oC. 10. How much heat would be released into the atmosphere if 10 km3 of ocean water were cooled by 3oC?
