V:01 Expert Q&A Done Question 1: In your own words, write down the differences between thermodynamic and heat transfer. (3 Marks) Question 2: Estimate the heat loss per square metre of surface through a brick wall 0.5 m thick when the inner surface is at 400 K and the outside surface is at 300 K. The thermal conductivity of the brick may be taken as 0.7 W/mK. (2 Marks) Question 3: A furnace is constructed with 0.20 m of firebrick, 0.10 m of insulating brick, and 0.20 m of building brick. The inside temperature is 1200 K and the outside temperature is 330 K. If the thermal conductivities are as shown in the figure below, estimate the heat loss per unit area. (5 Marks) 1200 K 330 K Insulating brick X-0.10m k= 0.21 Ordinary brick X=0.20 m Fire brick X= 0.20 m k= 1.4 k= 0.7 (W/mK)

Answer question 2 based on the results of question 1. You have a natural gas furnace in your home that used 78,500 cubic feet of natural gas for heating last winter. Your neighbor has a furnace that burns heating oil, and used 516 gallons of heating oil last winter. You can convert the natural gas and heating oil consumption data into Btu to determine which home used more energy for heating. Natural gas BTU:  1,028 Btu per cubic foot Oil BTU: 138,590 Btu per gallon   Natural Gas BTU= 80698000 Btu Oil BTU                = 71512440 Btu   The home that used a natural gas furnace used more energy for heating. 2. You need a new furnace for your home, and you are comparing systems that use natural gas and heating oil. One factor to consider is the cost of fuel. You can compare the price of the fuels on an equal basis by dividing the price per unit of the fuels by the Btu content per unit of the fuels to get a price per million Btu. Assume Natural gas price = $10.50 per thousand cubic…

QUESTION 3 A Type I offshore life jacket (i.e. personal flotation device) is the type worn by commercial fishermen - it is designed for extended survival in rough, open seawater. Consider such a life jacket that uses an impermeable foam material with a density of 32 kg/m³ - the other parts of the life jacket (straps, fasteners, etc) weigh 0.6 kg and are of negligible volume to the design. a) Draw a free body force diagram for the life jacket. b) Determine the minimum volume of foam material (in L) that is needed for the life jacket in order to provide a minimum 98 N net upward force when it is fully submerged in seawater (as required by US Coast Guard regulations).

Pls.answer thank you! A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be air-conditioned with window air-conditioning units of 5 KW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate heat at a rate of about 360 KJ/hr. There are 10 light bulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100 watts. The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000 KJ/hr. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 21°C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units required.

You witness an industrial fire in which an unknown liquid spilled in to a 8.2 feet diameter circular dike. You were told the tank holding the liquid spilled its entire content of 3,180 kg in to the dike. The fire started and burned for 30 minutes before consuming all the fuel. If the fire had a heat release rate of 50.5 MW what is the chemical heat of combustion of the fuel?

Explain briefly Point out and briefly explain the various factors affect the thermal conductivity of a material. What is the analogical reason between heat transfer by conduction and flow of electricity through ohmic resistance? Use a composite wall of a building to illustrate the concept.A composite slab with three layers of thermal conductivities k1, k2, k3 and thickness t1, t2, t3 respectively, are placed in a close contact. Derive an expression from the first principle for the heat flow through the composite slab per unit surface area in terms of the overall temperature difference across the slab. Based upon the reradiating properties of absorptivity, reflectivity and transmissivity, how would you distinguish between the…

3. This problem will help you understand why the wind blowing makes you feel colder, especially in the winter. You are outside on a cold day. The air temperature overall is around 5° C; assume your skin temperature is 16° C a) If you stay outside for a while and there is no wind, the air around you will eventually increase in temperature past 5° C. Explain why the air heats up, using the idea of conduction. b) What is the highest temperature the air around you can reach? Explain. c) As the air around you warms up, explain why you start cooling down more slowly. d) If the wind blows, convection happens: the warm air around your body is blown away, replaced by more 5° C cold air. In this case, will you cool down more quickly or more slowly? Explain. e) Explain why the "wind chill" temperature (ie, the temperature it feels like when the wind is blowing) is colder than the actual temperature of the air.
