A 40-L electrical radiator containing heating oil is placed in a 50-m³ room. Both the room and the oil in the radiator are initially at 10°C. The radiator with a rating of 2.4 kW is now turned on. At the same time, heat is lost from the room at an average rate of 0.35 kJ/s. After some time, the average temperature is measured to be 20°C for the air in the room, and 50°C for the oil in the radiator. Taking the density and the specific heat of the oil to be 950 kg/m³ and 2.2 kJ/kg-°C, respectively, determine how long the heater is kept on. Assume the room is well sealed so that there are no air leaks. The gas constant of air is R = 0.287 kPa-m³/kg-K (Table A-1). Also, c= 0.718 kJ/kg-K for air at room temperature (Table A-2). Oil properties are given to be p = 950 kg/m³ and cp= 2.2 kJ/kg.°C. Room 10°C A Radiator The heater is kept on for O min.

An insulated rigid tank initially contains saturated liquid water at 200°C. At this state, only 25% of the full tank volume is occupied. Now an electric resistor placed in the tank is turned on, and the tank is observed to contain saturated water vapor after 20 min. Determine (a) the volume of the tank (in L) if the initial mass contained is 1.4 kg, (b) the final temperature (in °C) , and (c) the electric power rating of the resistor (in kJ/s).

A passive solar house that is losing heat to the outdoors at 3C at an average rate of 50,000 kJ/h is maintained at 22C at all times during a winter night for 10 h. The house is to be heated by 50 glass containers, each containing 20 L of water that is heated to 80C during the day by absorbing solar energy. A thermostat-controlled 15 kW backup electric resistance heater turns on whenever necessary to keep the house at 22C. Determine how long the electric heating system was on that night and the amount of entropy generated during the night.
