Hi, can you help me to answer this question using the first law of thermodynamics formula to explain this event? On a hot summer day, a student turns his fan on when he leaves his room in themorning. When he returns in the evening will the room be warmer or cooler than theneighborouing rooms ? Explain your answer using the first law of thermodynamics.Assume ALL doors and windows are kept closed.
Consider a 1.2-m-high and 2-m-wide glass windowwith a thickness of 6 mm, thermal conductivity k = 0.78W/m·K, and emissivity « = 0.9. The room and the wallsthat face the window are maintained at 25°C, and the averagetemperature of the inner surface of the window is measuredto be 5°C. If the temperature of the outdoors is 25°C,determine (a) the convection heat transfer coefficient on theinner surface of the window, (b) the rate of total heat transferthrough the window, and (c) the combined natural convectionand radiation heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface ofthe window. Is it reasonable to neglect the thermal resistanceof the glass in this case?
The boiling temperature of oxygen at atmospheric pressure at sea level (1 atm) is -183ºC. Therefore, oxygen is used in low temperature scientific studies since the temperature of liquid oxygen in a tank open to the atmosphere remains constant at -183ºC until the liquid oxygen in the tank is depleted. Any heat transfer to the tank results in the evaporation of some liquid oxygen, which has a heat of vaporization of 213 kJ/kg and a density of 1140 kg/m3at 1 atm. Consider a 4 m diameter spherical tank initially filled with liquid oxygen at 1 atm and -183ºC. The tank is exosed to 20ºC ambient ait with a heat transfer coefficient of 25 W/m2. ºC. The temperature of the thin-shelled spherical tank is observed to be almost the same as the temperature of the oxygen inside. Disregarding any radiation heat exchange, determine the rate of evaporation of the liquid oxygen in the tank as a result of the heat transfer from the ambient air
In a new residential project, you strongly believethat double-paned windows are ‘better’ than singlepaned windows. Compare the rate of heat loss betweensingle and double-paned windows (1.5 m x 1 m) if thethickness of each pane is (th = 0.4 cm) and (k = 0.9W/m.K). The indoor and outdoor temperatures are 18°C and 2 °C, respectively. Thickness of the air gapbetween the double-paned windows is (th = 1 cm), and(k = 0.022 W/m.K). Image credit: Windowwhirl

An automotive engine can be approximated asa 0.4-m-high, 0.60-m-wide, and 0.7-m-long rectangularblock. The bottom surface of the block is at a temperatureof 75°C and has an emissivity of 0.92. The ambient airis at 5°C, and the road surface is at 10°C. Determine therate of heat transfer from the bottom surface of the engineblock by convection and radiation as the car travels at avelocity of 60 km/h. Assume the flow to be turbulent over theentire surface because of the constant agitation of the engineblock. How will the heat transfer be affected when a 2-mmthickgunk (k = 3 W/m?K) has formed at the bottom surface asa result of the dirt and oil collected at that surface over time?Assume the metal temperature under the gunk still to be 75°C.
Solar radiation is incident on the glass cover of asolar collector at a rate of 700 W/m2. The glass transmits88 percent of the incident radiation and has an emissivityof 0.90. The entire hot water needs of a family in summercan be met by two collectors 1.2 m high and 1 m wide. Thetwo collectors are attached to each other on one side so thatthey appear like a single collector 1.2 m * 2 m in size. Thetemperature of the glass cover is measured to be 35°C on aday when the surrounding air temperature is 25°C and thewind is blowing at 30 km/h. The effective sky temperaturefor radiation exchange between the glass cover and the opensky is 240°C. Water enters the tubes attached to the absorberplate at a rate of 1 kg/min.
