3- A 5-m x 6-m x 8-m room is to be heated by an electrical resistance heater placed in a short duct in the room. Initially, the room is at 15°C, and the local atmospheric pressure is 98 kPa. The room is losing heat steadily to the outside at a rate of 200 kJ/min. A 200-W fan circulates the air steadily through the duct and the electric heater at an average mass flow rate of 50 kg/min. The duct can be assumed to be adiabatic, and there is no air leaking in or out of the room. If it takes 15 minutes for the room air to reach an average temperature of 25°C, find (a) the power rating of the electric heater and (b) the temperature rise that the air experiences each time it passes through the heater.

The air duct of the heating system of a hall consists of an electric heater placed inside and a 300 W fan. While the air is continuously flowing in the duct with a flow rate of 0.6 kg/s, its temperature increases by 5°C. Calculate the power of the electric heater since there is 400 W heat loss from the duct surfaces to the environment. (Specific heating value of air = 1.005 kJ/kgK.)
Why is it important to clean the condenser coils of a household refrigerator a few times a year? Also, why is it important not to block airflow through the condenser coils?
A steady-flow thermodynamic system receives 100 lb/min of fluid at 30 psia and 200 Fahrenheit and discharges it from a point 80 ft above the entrance section at 150 psia and 600 Fahrenheit. The fluid enters with velocity of 1200 fpm and leaves with a velocity of 200 fpm. During this process, there are supplied 25,000 Btu/hr of heat from an external source and the increase in enthalpy is 2 Btu/lb. Determine the work done in horsepower.
A-C line Liquid R-134a A rigid container containing 6.6 kg of saturated liquid R-134a at 24°C is used to fill an air-conditioning system. A valve is opened and allows liquid R-134a to escape the tank into the A-C line until only 0.49 kg of R-134a remains in the tank, at which point the valve is closed. During the process, heat transfer is allowed to occur to maintain the tank temperature at 24°C. What is the quality of the refrigerant inside the tank at the end of the process? What is the total heat transfer for this process? KJ
A room measures 4mx7mx5m and the air in it has to be always kept 20 C0 lower than that of the incoming air. The air inside has to be renewed every 30 minutes. Assuming 75% efficiency, calculate the HP rating of an air-conditioning unit suitable for this purpose. Take specific heat of air as 0.24 and its density as 1.27 kg/m^3.
