A conditioned space has a calculated heat loss at the design maximum heating day of 10,000 BTUs / Hr to maintain an interior temperature of 70 F. We will use a hydronic baseboard style convector to heat the space. The style we have chosen comes in standard lengths. At rated temperature and flow of hydronic heating fluid for each 1 foot of length the heater will add 750 BTUs /Hr to the room. What length of heater can just maintain the temperature on the worst day? For this example we are ignoring other sources of heat loss such as ventilation or drafts.

The forced convective heater works in two ways: radiative heat in the form of light from the hot nichrome wire coils (like a toaster) and forced air heat (like a hair dryer). Derive an energy balance to determine the total rate of heat transfer from the device to the interior of the trailer. What percentage of the heat is leaving as light versus heating of the air stream?
The operators have noticed that the performance of the reactor is somewhat different to thedesign specifications and suspect that the thermal cycling may be responsible. The seniorprocess engineer would like you to analyse two periods:- The period when the reactor is initially heated up and held at the operating temperature.- The period after the reactor is taken offline for maintenance and then heated up again.You should consider the effect of the tube expansion on the operating variables and theoverall effect on pressure drop and conversion. Compare these responses to the estimatedperformance according to the design basis.You may include any equations or diagrams that you consider necessary to support yourdiscussion. A numerical solution is not required.

solve step by step and correctly. A family enters a winter vacation cabin has been unheated for such a long time the interior temperature is the same as the outside temperature (00C). The cabin consists of a single room of floor area 4m by 4m and height 3m. The room contains one 2kW electric heater. Assuming that the room is perfectly airtight and that all the heat from the electric heater is absorbed by the air, none escaping through the walls or being absorbed by the furnishing, how long after the heater is turned on will the temperature reach the comfort level of 240C.

4) One measure of the scale of a process is its throughputs of fuel or other input raw materials, e.g., lbs of coal per hour. Compare the coal throughputs for a small-scale experiment that uses 10 mg of coal in 6 seconds, and a single boiler in a large commercial-scale central-station electric generating plant. Assume: the commercial facility has a total output of 1,020 MW e supplied by three boilers of equal capacity; the boiler has a heat rate of (8,980 Btu th /hr)/(kW e ) based on fuel HHV, and fires coal with a gross heating value (i.e., HHV) of 14,000 Btu th /lb.

In the United States, energy for household heating is generally sold using English units, e.g., therm, gal, and cord. A house in Wisconsin uses 1200 therms of thermal energy during the heating season. Calculate the cost of fuel if the furnace uses (a) natural gas with an efficiency of 70%; (b) No. 2 fuel oil, efficiency 65%; (c) kerosene, efficiency 99.9% (unvented); and (d) wood with l5% moisture with an efficiency of 50%. Use the data in Tables 2.2, 2.7, and 2.13. The efficiencies are based on the HHV. Assume the cost of natural gas is $8/MBtu, the cost of No. 2 fuel oil is $3/gal, the cost of kerosene is $3.50/gal, and the cost of wood is $100/cord. Assume the bulk density of cord wood is 30 lbm/ft3 .
