    How Much Does Cooling Cost on a Hot Day with a 5-Ton AC?

    ok so... delta Q = (909kg) * (333.55) = 3.0*10^5 so then do i plug this number in this equation --> COP= Q_L / W --> COP = Q_L / Q_H -Q_L ?? am i on the correct path??

    How Much Does Cooling Cost on a Hot Day with a 5-Ton AC?

    wait.. heat of fusion which is Lf = mL = 333.55 ... how does this help me solve for the answer? what if i use deltaQ = mCdeltaT ? delta Q = 909kg * 1cal/g C * ((40+273)-(20+273)) ?? does this look right? or am i totally off?

    Calculating Heat Loss and Temperature Drop Using Stefan-Boltzmann's Law

    im still confused. =( so what is the formula to figure out the temperature drop after 30mins? and are we suppose to use derivative to solve this problem? I am so sorry to bother you about this but I am really lost. are we suppose to use this equation? ---> H = E/T if so... what is H? E? T...
