The "Kangri" is an earthen pot used to stay warm in Kashmir during the winter months. Assume that the "Kangri" is spherical and of surface area It contains of a mixture of coal, wood and leaves with calorific value of (and provides heat with efficiency). The surface temperature of the 'Kangri' is and the room temperature is Then, a reasonable estimate for the duration t (in hours) that the 'kangri' heat will last is (take the 'kangri' to be a black body):
