10.) A typical one-half-carlot-capacity banana room contains 18 pallets of bananas.Each pallet consists of 24 boxes, and thus the room stores 432 boxes of bananas. A box holds an average of 19 kg of bananas and is made of 2.3 kg of fiberboard. The specific heats of banana and the fiberboard are 3.55 kJ/kg · C and 1.7 kJ/kg · C, respectively. The peak heat of respiration of bananas is 0.3 W/kg. The bananas are cooled at a rate of 0.2 C/h. If the temperature rise of refrigerated air is not to exceed 1.5 C as it flows through the room, determine the minimum flow rate of air needed. Take the density and specific heat of air to be 1.2 kg/m3 and 1.0 kJ/kg · C.

Integrated Concepts - (a) Suppose you start a workout on a Stairmaster, producing power at the same rate as climbing 116 stairs per minute. Assuming your mass is 76.0 kg and your efficiency is 20.0%, how long will it take for your body temperature to rise 1.00C if all other forms of heat transfer in and out of your body are balanced? (b) Is this consistent with your experience in getting warm while exercising?
2)A)What is convection in Heat Transfer ? B)Does the convection affect the lifetime of the turbine? C)How does the convection affect the lifetime of the turbine?
Suppose you have two kettles --a plug-in electric kettle and a stovetop kettle. The electric kettle uses electricity from a natural gas fired powerplant, while you boil water in your stovetop kettle on a natural gas burner. Based on the following information, which of these kettles demonstrates a higher energy efficiency? Please calculate the efficiencies of each kettle and express answers as percentages -The natural gas power plant converts chemical energy of the natural gas to electrical energy with 58% efficiency. -High-voltage power lines from the power plant to your house convey electricity with 92% efficiency. -The electric kettle converts electrical energy to thermal energy in the water with 85% efficiency. -The stove burner converts chemical energy of natural gas to thermal energy with 98% efficiency (the other 2% is light). -The stovetop kettle transfers 35% of the stove’s thermal energy to the water in the kettle.
15 - A fixed volume insulated tank, initially empty, was connected to a distribution line carrying helium gas at a temperature of 135ºC by means of a valve. The valve is opened first and closed when the pressure is the same as the distribution line pressure. What is the final internal energy of helium in the tank? (Internal energy of the warehouse in the final state = Enthalpy of the distribution line). (Cp=5.1926) will be taken. a) 701.0 kJ/kg B) 597.1 kJ/kg NS) 2014.7 kJ/kg D) 2066.7 kJ/kg TO) 2118.6 kJ/kg
A 5-feet diameter Chimney is designed to handle a flue gas produced in a steam power plant at a rate of 17 lb/s. The barometric pressure is 29.92-inch Hg. Outside air enters the combustion chamber at 90 F. The average temperature of the flue gas inside the Chimney is 572 F and its molecular weight is 30. Cv = 0.35, Rair = 53.342 ft-lb/lb-R. Calculate: 5. The total draft, feet of air. 6. The height of the Chimney, feet
In your own words, define efficiency as it applies to a device designed to perform an energy transformation.
Unreasonable Results - A slightly deranged Arctic inventor surrounded by ice thinks it would be much less mechanically complex to cool a car engine by melting ice on it than by having a water-cooled system with a radiator, water pump, antifreeze, and so on. (a) If 80% of the energy in 1.00 gal of gasoline is converted into “waste heat” in a car engine, how many kilograms of 0C ice could it melt? (b) Is this a reasonable amount of ice to carry around to cool the engine for 1.00 gal of gasoline consumption? (c) What premises or assumptions are unreasonable?

Question 1 A Carnot heat pump is to be used to heat a house and maintain it at 25°C in winter. On a day when the average outdoor temperature remains at about 2°C, the house is estimatedto lose heat at a rate of 55 000 kJ/h. If the heat pump consumes 4.8 kW of power while operating, determine:The COP, heat loss for the day, required work input, how long the heat pump ran on that dayThe total heating costs, assuming an average price of R 2.35/kWh for electricity, andThe heating cost for the same day if resistance heating is used instead of a heat pump
