In a meat processing plant, 2-cm-thick steaks (k =0.45 W/m·K and a = 0.91 * 1027 m2/s) that are initially at25°C are to be cooled by passing them through a refrigerationroom at 211°C. The heat transfer coefficient on both sides ofthe steaks is 9 W/m2·K. If both surfaces of the steaks are to becooled to 2°C, determine how long the steaks should be keptin the refrigeration room. Solve this problem using analyticalone-term approximation method (not the Heisler charts).

An air-conditioning system is used to maintain a house at 75°F when the temperature outside is 95°F. The house is gaining the heat through the walls and windows at a rate of 1250 Btu/min, and the heat generation rate within the house from people, lights, and appliances amounts to 350 Btu/min.

A 4-m × 5-m × 6-m room is to be heated by an electric resistance heater placed in a short duct in the room. Initially, the room is at 15°C, and the local atmospheric pressure is 98 kPa. The room is losing heat steadily to the outside at a rate of 150 kJ/min. A 200-W fan circulates the air steadily through the duct and the electric heater at an average mass flow rate of 40 kg/min. The duct can be assumed to be adiabatic, and there is no air leaking in or out of the room. If it takes 25 min for the room air to reach an average temperature of 25°C, find the temperature rise that the air experiences each time it passes through the heater.
