During summer season a room measuring 10 x 13 x 6 m3 is cooled electrically from initial temperature- 28°C to 2°C. The air pressure inside the room is the same as that of surroundings and is equal to 72 cm of Hg. The pressure remains constant during the cooling process. The cooling capacity of furniture and wall is 35 kJ/K. The Cp of air is 1.005 kJ/kgK.Calculate the amount of electric energy needed for cooling the room. How much air comes through gaps and windows during cooling period?

A student living in a 4-m x 6-m x 6-m dormitory room turns on her 150-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 windows are tightly closed and disregarding any heat transfer through the walls and the windows, determine the temperature in the room when she comes back 10 h later. Use specific heat values at room temperature, and assume the room to be at 100 kPa and 15°C in the morning when she leaves.

THERMOFLUID A 4-in X 5-m X 7-m room is heated by the radiator of a steam-heating system. The steam radiator transfers heat at a rate of 10.000 kJ/h, and a 100-W fan is used to distribute the warm air in the room. The rate of heat loss from the room is estimated to be about 5000 kJ/h. If the initial temperature of the room air is 10°C, determine how long it will take for the air temperature to rise to 20°C, Assume constant specific heats at room temperature.

Consider two identical rooms, one with a 2-kW electric resistance heater and the other with three couples fast dancing. In which room will the air temperature rise more quickly?
A 20-kW electric heater is used to heat up a house with size measured 6 m x 8 m x 10 m. The house is equipped with a 500-W TV set, a 25-W light bulb, and a 250-W workstation. Heat is losing through windows at a rate of 500 kJ/min. On a cold winter day, the temperature dropped to 10°C, owner switched on the TV, workstation and heater. Determine the time needed to increase the indoor temperature to 25°C.
