A student living in a 3-m X 4-m X 4-m dormitory room turns on her 100-W fan before she leaves the room on a summer day, hoping that the room will be cooler when she comes back in the evening. Assuming all the doors and heat trans windows are tightly closed and disregarding any heat fer let through the walls and the windows, determine the temperature in the room when she comes back 8 h later. Use specific heat values at room temperature, and assume room to be at 100 kPa and 20°C in the morning she leaves

a. A fan is to accelerate quiescent air to a velocity of 10m/s at a rate of 4 m3/s. Determine the minimum power thatmust be supplied to the fan. Take the density of air to be 1.18kg/m3. b. A classroom that normally contains 40 people is tobe air-conditioned with window air-conditioning units of 5-kW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed todissipate heat at a rate of about 360 kJ/h. There are 10 lightbulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100 W. The rate ofheat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000 kJ/h. If the room air is to bemaintained at a constant temperature of 21°C, determine thenumber of window air-conditioning units required c. A vertical piston–cylinder device contains water andis being heated on top of a range. During the process, 65 Btu of heat is transferred to the water, and heat losses from theside walls amount to 8 Btu. The piston rises as a result ofevaporation, and 5 Btu of work is done by the vapor.…
