A room has a width of 13.3 feet, a length of 14.3 feet, and a ceiling height of 13.2 ft. The average flow rate for this room's air conditioning unit is 4 m3/s. How many hours will it take for the air conditioner to cycle the volume of air in the room?
Please do not include units in your answer. Assume your answer has at least 2 sig figs.
A room has a width of 14.1 feet, a length of 14.8 feet, and a ceiling height of 14 ft. The average flow rate for this room's air conditioning unit is 3.7 m3/s. How many hours will it take for the air conditioner to cycle the volume of air in the room?
You are in an old spy movie and have been locked into a small room (volume 1,000 ft3). You suddenly
realize that a poison gas has just started entering the room through a ventilation duct and that the
poisonous air is not leaving the room. What is the correct formula for mass conservation? you are safe
as long as the concentration is less than 100 mg/m3. If the ventilation airflow rate in the room is 100
ft3/min and the incoming gas concentration is 200 mg/m3, how long do you have to escape? (in
minutes)

- During winter, when people are in a well-insulated house,they usually feel comfortable if the air temperature is near22°C (72°F). If you have ever spent a night in a poorly insulatedcabin in winter, however, you will recognize that paradoxically,when people are in poorly insulated buildings, they often feelchilly even when the air inside is heated to 22°C or higher. Oneimportant reason for the difference in how warm people feel inthe two sorts of buildings is that even if a well-insulated andpoorly insulated building are identical in the air temperatureinside, they differ in thermal-radiation heat transfer. Specifically,a person standing in the two types of buildings experiencesdifferent heat exchange by thermal radiation in the two. Explainhow thermal-radiation heat transfer accounts for the sense ofchill in the poorly insulated building. (Hint: Think of the outerwalls of the two types of buildings, and think specifically of thetemperatures of the interior surfaces of those walls.)arrow_forwardThe design fluid (typically water and antifreeze) flow rate through a solar hot-water heater system is (1 L/s) m ⁄m2 .

Over a period of one month, the heat pump operates for 100 hours to transfer energy from a heat source outside the house to inside the house. Consider a heat pump receiving heat from two different outside energy sources. In one application the heat pump receives heat from the outside air at 0°C. In a second application the heat pump receives heat from a lake having a water temperature of 10°C. If electricity costs $0.105/kWh, determine the maximum money saved by using the lake water rather than the outside air as the outside energy source.arrow_forward
