A Styrofoam box has a surface area of 0.80 m2 and a wall thickness of 2.0 cm. The temperature of the inner surface is 5.0°C, and the outside temperature is 25°C. If it takes 8.0 h for 5.0 kg of ice to melt in the container, determine the thermal conductivity of the Styrofoam.

Approximately how long should it take 10.7 kg of ice at 0 degrees C to melt when it is placed in a carefully sealed Styrofoam ice chest of dimensions 25 cm x 33 cm x 54 cm whose walls are 1.6 cm thick? Assume that the conductivity of Styrofoam is double that of air and that the outside temperature is 34 degrees C.

Students on a spring break picnic bring a cooler that contains 5.0kg of ice at 0.0 C. The cooler has walls that are 3.6 cm thick andare made of Styrofoam, which has a thermal conductivity of 0.030W/(m *C). The surface area of the cooler is 1.5 m^2
and it rests in the shade where the air temperature is 23 C.

Find the rate at which heat flows into the cooler.
