- A cooling system is to be designed for a food storage warehouse for keeping perishable foods cool prior to transportation to grocery stores. The warehouse has an effective surface area of 1860 m2 exposed to an ambient air temperature of 32C. The warehouse wall insulation (k=0.17W/(mK)) is 7.5 cm thick. Determine the rate at which heat must be removed (W) from the warehouse to maintain the food at 4C.arrow_forwardHeat is transferred at a rate of 0.1 kW through glass wool insulation (density=100kg/m3) with a 5-cm thickness and 2-m2 area. If the hot surface is at 70C, determine the temperature of the cooler surface.arrow_forward1.29 A spherical interplanetary probe with a 30-cm diameter contains electronic equipment that dissipates 100 W.

If each heater dissipates 500 W, what is the time required for bringing the water temperature in the tank to 340 K? State your assumption for your analysis.arrow_forwardConsider a person whose exposed surface area is 1.7 m2, emissivity is 0.9, and surface temperature is 32°C.

If the electronic components in the box dissipate a total of 100 W of power and the outer surface temperature of the box is not to exceed 55°C, determine the temperature at which the surrounding surfaces must be kept if this box is to be cooled by radiation alone. Assume the heat transfer from the bottom surface of the box to the stand to be negligible.arrow_forwardA 10-m-long section of a 6-cm-diameter horizontal hot-water pipe passes through a large room whose temperature is 27°C.
