- An air-cooled window DX unit is used for space cooling. The unit has a capacity of 4.5 tons and has a SEER of 15. If the unit operates for 2204 hours during the summer, how many kWh of electricity will be used? Hint: In the U.S., the SEER is the ratio of cooling in British thermal units (BTUs) to the electrical energy consumed in watt-hours. You may need to convert the unit in this process.arrow_forwardDescribe and compare the modes of heat loss through the single-pane and double-pane window assemblies shown in the sketch below.arrow_forwardUsing the information in Problem 1.22, estimate the ambient air temperature that could cause frostbite on a calm day on the ski slopes. 1.22 In order to prevent frostbite to skiers on chair lifts, the weather report at most ski areas gives both an air temperature and the wind-chill temperature. The air temperature is measured with a thermometer that is not affected by the wind. However, the rate of heat loss from the skier increases with wind velocity, and the wind-chill temperature is the temperature that would result in the same rate of heat loss in still air as occurs at the measured air temperature with the existing wind. Suppose that the inner temperature of a 3-mm-thick layer of skin with a thermal conductivity of 0.35W/mKis35C and the air temperature is 20C. Under calm ambient conditions the heat transfer coefficient at the outer skin surface is about 20W/m2K (see Table 1.4), but in a 40-mph wind it increases to 75W/m2K. If frostbite occurs when the skin temperature drops to about 10C, do you advise the skier to wear a face mask? What is the skin temperature drop due to the wind?arrow_forward
