(15-34 What is the temperature inside an ideal refrigerator-freezer that operates with a COP = 7.0in a 22 degree Celcius Room?
A spaceship (consider it to be rectangular) is of size 7 x 4 x 4 (in meters). Its interior is maintained at a comfortable 20C, and its outer surface is at 116.9 K. The surface is aluminum. Calculate the rate of heat loss by radiation into space, if the temperature of outer space is 2.1 K. (This implies that the satellite is in the 'shade', i.e. not exposed to direct sunlight).
Emissivity of Al = 0.17 , Stefan constant = 5.669 x 10-8 W/m2K4
In humid climates, people constantly dehumidify their cellars to prevent rot and mildew. If the cellar in a house (keptat 20°C) has 105 m2 of floor space and a ceiling height of2.4 m, what is the mass of water that must be removedfrom it in order to drop the humidity from 95% to a morereasonable 40%?
