A room has a pine ceiling (k = 0.12 WI(m-Cº) ] that measures 3.0 m x 4.0 m 2.0 cm. On a cold day, the temperature inside the room is 20°C, and the temperature in the attic above is 8°C. If 6.0 cm of glass wool insulation ( k = 0.042 WI(m.Cº) ] were put in above the ceiling, how much energy would be saved in one hour?

R Value: Wall: 0.961m2k/w Floor: 0.676m2k/w Roof: 0.7465m2k/w In a table format show with calculations and research how much money you can save by installing a 115mm layer of insulation (R2.9) in your walls, floor and ceiling over a 5 and 10 year period. Consider the capital costs. Hint: State the current R value of each component. Convert to U value. Calculate new R value of each component (walls, floor and ceiling). Convert to U value. Use Q(W)=A*(change in U)*temperature change. Determine price for installation of new insulation. Determine price saved based on less heat loss through each component separately, then add all values together, and calculate per 5 years and per 10 years. Present all of this information in a table. You do not need to draw any diagrams, simply add the R value in series with your current components R values. Assume the energy cost is 25 cents kWh
A thermometer reading 10 degree Celsius is brought in a room whose temperature is 18 degree Celsius. One minute later, the thermometer reading is 14 degree Celsius. How long does it take, until the reading becomes 16 degC?
After the sinking of RMS Titanic, US operated the International Ice patrol with the purpose of monitoring the presence and movements of icebergs in the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. Once, they observed a unique tabular iceberg in a form of a rectangle (250 km x 50 km x 300 m). How many years would it take to melt the iceberg solely by heat from the sun if the ice absorbs a mean of 98 J/m2 -s, 12.5 hrs per day? Note: the exposed area for heating is 250 km x 50 km and the density is 920 kg/m3 . This is my solution.
1. Energy consumption in a country from 2001 to 2011 increased from 1041.3 million to 1526.1 million BOE (barrels of oil equivalent). If the high calorific value (HHV) of the oil is 141,000 kJ/gallon what is the increase in energy consumption over 10 years in Joule units. What is the rate of energy consumption per year? 2. Based on data on the rate of energy consumption per year from question no. 1, if the growth rate energy 2.5% per year, calculate the doubling time (td) and what is the approximate rate of energy growth in 2021.
A group of twenty executives attend a board meeting in a room that measures 20 feet by 20 feet and has a 10-foot ceiling. Suppose each person occupies 2.5 feet and gives out about 375 BTUs of heat per hour. Calculate the temperature rise that occurs within 20 minutes of the start of the conference if the room is completely sealed and insulated, Take c for air as 0.1825 BTU / Lbmd Ibm ° F.
Suppose city 1 leaves an entire block (100 mm ×× 100 mm) as a park with trees and grass (emissivity 0.96) while city 2 paves the same area over with asphalt (emissivity 1.0). Sunlight heats each surface to 41.5 ∘C∘C by sunset, and then the surface radiates its heat into a cube of air 100 mm on a side and at 30.0 ∘C∘C. If each city block maintains the same radiated power for 2.1 hh and there are no other energy losses, what is the final temperature of the cube of air above the block in city 1? The density of air at 30.0 ∘C∘C is 1.16 kg/m3kg/m3. Express your answer to three significant figures and include appropriate units.

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.
