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).
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.

An exercise room has 6 weight-lifting machines that have no motors and 7 treadmills each equipped with a 2.5-hp (shaft output) motor. The motors operate at an average load factor of 0.7, at which their efficiency is 0.77. During peak evening hours, all 12 pieces of exercising equipment are used continuously, and there are also two people doing light exercises while waiting in line for one piece of the equipment. Assuming the average rate of heat dissipation from people in an exercise room is 600 W, determine the rate of heat gain of the exercise room from people and the equipment at peak load conditions.
