7. In the summer it tends to become quite hot and humid in the Guelph area. Many home owners purchase dehumidifiers to remove moisture from the air. Excessive moisture can create problems with dampness in basements, so it is a good idea to keep the situation under control, Dehumidifiers work on the principle that when air is cooled, its ability to hold moisture decreases Therefore, the dehumidifier consists of a cabinet-like structure containing a refrigeration coll. As the room air blows over this coil. it is cooled to a temperature that is below its dew point. Moisture then condenses out of the air and is collected in a bucket (or directed by a hose to a floor drain), A curious home owner wonders how much water will be collected in a 12 hour period. He empties the bucket at the start of the test and comes back exactly twelve hours later to see how much water has been collected. Calculate the amount of water that would be collected in a twelve-hour period if 1.15 cubic metres per…

Pls.answer thank you! A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be air-conditioned with window air-conditioning units of 5 KW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate heat at a rate of about 360 KJ/hr. There are 10 light bulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100 watts. The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000 KJ/hr. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 21°C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units required.

Problem Statement = You install a heat pump to heat a cottage during the winter using the outside air as the heat source. You wish to maintain the interior temperature of the cottage at 22°C. A simplified model of the heat loss through the walls indicates that heat will need to be supplied at a rate of 0.14(Tinterior - Texterior) where Q is the rate at which heat must be supplied to the cottage (in kW), Tinterior is the interior air temperature (in C), and Texterior is the exterior air temperature (in C). You have a 1kW electric motor available to run the heat pump. What is the coldest winter day when the heat pump will be able to keep up to the heating demand?

Based on the table and the correct answers provided in Parts A-D, Are any of the claimed efficiencies impossible?

Question 6 Compare the carbon emissions per MJ to heat household water using the following two energy systems: a) A 25% efficient coal-fired power plant delivering electricity to a 99% efficient electric water heater. Assume LHV carbon intensity of coal is 25.8 gC/MJ. b) A new 50% efficient natural gas-fired combined cycle power plant to a 99% efficient electric water heater. You must calculate the LHV carbon intensity of natural gas. Assume 100% methane and ideal conditions. Assume 5% losses in electrical transmission lines and 90 MJ of fuel input to each system.

Pls. Answer thank you! A logging firm in Isabella operates a Diesel Electric Plant to supply its electric energy requirements. During a 2 hour period, the plant consumed 250 gallons of fuel at 80°F and produced 2900 kW-hrs. Industrial fuel is used at 30°API and was purchased at P30/li at 60°F. Determine the overall thermal efficiency in percent of the plant.

A Carnot heat pump is to be used to heat a house and maintain it at 25°C in winter. On a day when the average outdoor temperature remains at about 2°C, the house is estimated to lose heat at a rate of 55,000 kJ/h. The heat pump consumes 4.8 kW of power while operating. 55,000 kJ/h Determine the total heating costs, assuming an average price of $0.11/kWh for electricity. The total heating cost is $40.33 (You must provide an answer before moving to the next part.)

Questions: 1. b. As the power plant engineer, you are asked by the power plant manager to design a new steam-based power plant with a net power output target of 200 MW with a thermal efficiency of 40%.

Answer question 2 based on the results of question 1. You have a natural gas furnace in your home that used 78,500 cubic feet of natural gas for heating last winter. Your neighbor has a furnace that burns heating oil, and used 516 gallons of heating oil last winter. You can convert the natural gas and heating oil consumption data into Btu to determine which home used more energy for heating. Natural gas BTU:  1,028 Btu per cubic foot Oil BTU: 138,590 Btu per gallon   Natural Gas BTU= 80698000 Btu Oil BTU                = 71512440 Btu   The home that used a natural gas furnace used more energy for heating. 2. You need a new furnace for your home, and you are comparing systems that use natural gas and heating oil. One factor to consider is the cost of fuel. You can compare the price of the fuels on an equal basis by dividing the price per unit of the fuels by the Btu content per unit of the fuels to get a price per million Btu. Assume Natural gas price = $10.50 per thousand cubic…

Please help answer the question regarding heat transfer. I tried solving it and came up with 152.56 oC but it says that it is incorrect. Please show how to get the correct answer. Thank you.

Part 1: Do the Analysis of the Ocean Thermal Gradient Power Plant shown below. Your Analysis will be easier to do in EES but it is up to you. Your EES program must be well documented and documentation in your code should reference system sketches. (The cycle and individual components) These sketches are done on attached engineering or typing paper, unless you are able to draw them in EES. You must validate your results with hand calculations on engineering paper that invoke the 1 and 2 Law from the perspective of the entire cycle, not the individual components. Of course, a system sketch is required. nd 1. An ocean thermal gradient power plant using a simple non-ideal Rankine Cycle operates with a peak boiler temperature of 70 °F and a condenser temperature of 40 °F. The warm surface water of the ocean is supplying the thermal energy to the boiler. Assume a high source temperature of 80 °F. The cooler water deeper in the ocean is the sink for heat rejection at the condenser. Assume a…
