FIGURE A student living in a 4-m × 6-m X 6-m dormitory room turns his 150-W fan on before she leaves her room on a summer day hoping that the room will be cooler when she comes back in the evening. Assuming all the doors and win- dows 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 hours 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.

THARMOFLUID 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.
In a power plant, pipes transporting superheated vapor are very common. In a certain plant, superheated vapor is flowing at a rate of 0.3 kg/s inside a 5 cm diameter pipe of 10 m length. The air in the plant is maintained at 20oC while the surface temperature of the pipe is 100oC. If the temperature drop between the inlet and exit of the pipe is 30oC and the specific heat capacity of the vapor is 2190 kJ/kg.K, determine the convective heat transfer coefficient at the pipe surface. If necessary, how could this coefficient be increased?
Before the widespread use of mechanical refrigeration, cooling was provided by ice, which was delivered by icemen and stored in an icebox. In a current application, blocks of ice at Tice = 32°F with a total mass of mice = 500 lbm are placed in a large food-storage icebox that is used to keep food at Tfood = 45°F on a day in which the outdoor temperature is Tamb = 78°F. The rate of heat loss through the walls of the ice box is Q = 2900 Btu/hr. a.) Estimate the amount of time the ice it will take this ice to melt. b.) Compare the rate of cooling provided in ton units to the mass of ice in tons. c.) Define and calculate efficiency for this process. d.) Determine the change in exergy of the ice in this process. e.) Calculate the Second-Law efficiency for this process.
Consider a 15-cm * 20-cm printed circuit board (PCB) that has electronic components on one side. The board is placed in a room at 20°C. The heat loss from the back surface of the board is negligible. If the circuit board is dissipating 8 W of power in steady operation, determine the average temperature of the hot surface of the board, assuming the board is (a) vertical, (b) horizontal with hot surface facing up, and (c) horizontal with hot surface facing down. Take the emissivity of the surface of the board to be 0.8 and assume the surrounding surfaces to be at the same temperature as the air in the room. Evaluate air properties at a film temperature of 32.5°C and 1 atm pressure. Is this a good assumption?
The blades of a wind turbine turn a large shaft at a relatively slow speed. The rotational speed is increased by a gearbox that has an efficiency of 0.93. In turn, the gearbox output shaft drives an electric generator with an efficiency of 0.95. The cylindrical nacelle, which houses the gearbox, generator, and associated equipment, is of length L = 6 m and diameter D = 3 m. If the turbine produces P = 2.5 MW of electrical power, and the air and surroundings temperatures are T = 25 oC and Tsur = 20 oC, respectively, determine the minimum possible operating temperature inside the nacelle. The emissivity of the nacelle is 0.83, and the convective heat transfer coefficient is h = 35 W/m2 .K. The surface of the nacelle that is adjacent to the blade hub can be considered to be adiabatic, and solar irradiation may be neglected. Use Fin or N number of fins to reduce the Ts of the nacelle less than 143 oC

Consider a house that has a floor space of 15m x 12m and an average height of 2.7 m at 150m elevation where the standard atmospheric pressure is 84.1 kPa (shown in figure below). Initially the house is at a uniform temperature of 10°C. Now the electric heater is turned on, and the heater runs until the air temperature in the house rises to an average value of 21°C. Determine the amount of energy transferred to the air assuming (a) the house is air-tight and thus no air escapes during the heating process and (b) some air escapes through the cracks as the heated air in the house expands at constant pressure. Also determine the cost of this heat for each case if the cost of electricity in that area is $0.080/kWh
