Question
A 36-m3 room is to be heated by three ton(1 ton = 1000 kg) of liquid water
contained in a tank that is placed in the room. The room is losing heat to the
outside at an average rate of 6700 kJ/h. The room is initially at 20 °Cand
100 kPa and is maintained at an average temperature of 20 °C at all times.
If the hot water is to meet the heating requirements of this room for a 24-h
period, determine the minimum temperature of the water when it is first
brought into the room in °C. Assume constant specific heats for both air
and water at room temperature. Use Cpwater = 4180 J/kg. K and Cp-1.005
