From figure 12 38 estimate the value of a in equation 12 11 for zinc as an impurity in copper zinc alloys.
Approximate value of room temperature.
Rho i ac i 1 c i.
Human comfort can extend beyond this range depending on humidity air circulation and other factors.
Room temperature electrical resistivity versus composition for copper zinc alloys.
For climate control a typical room temperature range is from 15 c 59 f to 25 c 77 f.
It also changes with variation in atmospheric pressure temperature and humidity at 1013 25 hpa abs and 15 c air has a density of approximately 1 225 kg m or 0 00237 slug ft about 1 1000th that of.
The speed of sound in air is approximately 331 5 m s at 0 c or around 1200 km per hour.
People tend to accept a slightly higher room temperature in the summer and lower value in the winter based on the clothing they would wear outdoors.
Colloquially room temperature is the range of air temperatures that most people prefer for indoor settings which feel comfortable when wearing typical indoor clothing.
Rho is the mass per unit volume of earth s atmosphere air density like air pressure decreases with increasing altitude.
The density of air or atmospheric density denoted ρ greek.
The lower the density that of a medium the faster the speed of sound and the higher the compressibility is the slower the sound travels.
