2. Consider a room that is initially at the outdoor temperature of 20°C. The room contains a 100-W light bulb, a 110-W TV set, a 200-W refrigerator, and a 1000-W iron. Assuming no heat transfer through the walls, determine the rate of increase of the energy content of the room when all of these electric devices are on.

What are the two forms of energy interactions associated with a closed system, explain it?
An engineer receives a schematic fora reversible heat engine with three reservoirs at the temperatures shown to the right. The heat engine produces 1800 kW work as it pulls 3200 kW of heat from the 600K reservoir. The engineer wonders if the schematic is drawn correctly (in other words, are the arrows going the correct directions?) To answer this question, (a) calculate the heat interactions of the HE with the other two reservoirs. (b)If necessary, draw an updated diagram with the correct directionalities indicating the rates of heat transfer.
A heat engine is working between 920°C and 36°C.The measured output of the heat engine is 0.17 MW and the second law efficiency of an engine is 0.58. Determine the heat supplied in kW and irreversibility in kW. Efficiency Reversible work in kJ Heat supplied in kW Irreversibility in kW
You are purchasing a refrigerator. You know that you want to keep your food at 1 deg C and that your house is typically at 19 deg C. What is the minimum power (kW) required to operate the refrigerator if the heat extracted is 297 kW?
An air conditioner removes heat steadily from a house at a rate of 750 kJ/min while drawing electric power at a rate of 5.25 kW. Determine the rate of heat transfer to the outside air.
A 13-V storage battery delivers current at the rate of 50 A. In a 27-min period, the heat lost from the battery is 92.74 kJ. What is the change in internal energy in kJ of the battery for the discharging period?
A source at a temperature of 600K provides 2000kJ of heat. The temperature of environment is 250C. Determine the maximum useful work that can be obtained form the heat source..
The “Energy Guide” label of a refrigerator states that the refrigerator will consume $170 worth of electricity per year under normal use if the cost of electricity is $0.125/kWh. If the electricity consumed by the lightbulb is negligible and the refrigerator consumes 400 W when running, determine the fraction of the time the refrigerator will run.
A heat pump is used to extract heat from the outside atmosphere to heat the inside of a building. On a day when the outside air temperature is Tc°C, the heat pump is operating to a COP of 2.7, maintaining the inside temperature of the building at Th°C. If the building is losing heat at the rate of 62,893 kJ/hour in these conditions, determine how much power (kW) must be supplied to a heat pump.
