Consider steady heat transfer through a 5-m × 6-m brick wall of a house of thickness 30 cm. On a day when the temperature of the outdoors is 0°C, the house is maintained at 27°C. The temperatures of the inner and outer surfaces of the brick wall are measured to be 20°C and 5°C, respectively, and the rate of heat transfer through the wall is 1035 W. Determine the rate of exergy destruction in the wall and the rate of total exergy destruction associated with this heat transfer process.
Consider two geothermal wells whose energy contents are estimated to be the same. Will the exergies of these wells necessarily be the same? Explain.
Outdoor air (cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·°C) is to be preheated by hot exhaust gases in a crossflow heat exchanger before it enters the furnace. Air enters the heat exchanger at 101 kPa and 30°C at a rate of 0.5 m3 /s. The combustion gases (cp = 1.10 kJ/kg·°C) enter at 350°C at a rate of 0.85 kg/s and leave at 260°C. Determine the rate of heat transfer to the air and the rate of exergy destruction in the heat exchanger.
