A computer room located on the second floor of a five-story office building is 10m by 7 m. The exterior wall is 3.5 m high and 10 m long; it is a metal curtain wall (steel backed with 10 mm of insulating board), 75 mm of glass-fiber insulation, and 16 mm of gypsum board. Single-glazed windows make up 30 percent of the exterior wall. The computer and lights in the room operate 24 h/d and have a combined heat release to the space of 2 kw. The indoor temperature is 20 C. (a) If the building is located in Columbus, Ohio, determine the heating load at winter design conditions. (b) What would be the load if the windows were double-glazed?

Sipho’s mother is making a fire in the stove inside a shack using coal. A fan is used to extract the flue gasfrom the fire via a chimney made of zinc material. The wall thickness of Chimney is L=4mm and the walltemperature of the chimney on the flue gas side is T_si=60˚C. Sipho, playing outside next to the chimneyexperiences an ambient temperature of 20˚C. The surrounding temperature is T_sur=35˚C and the emissivityis ε=0.95. Assume the convection coefficient is 20W/m2K and the chimney is grey material.Under these conditions determine the outer surface (air side) temperature T_so=? of the chimney.
The surface area of an unclothed person is 1.5m ^2 and thier skin tempature is 33 degree celcius. This ideal person is located in a room with a tempature of 65 dregrees F. and has an emissivity of e=0.95 suppose the room has dimensions 4mx9mx18m a) suppose you and your closest 10 friends come into this room and heat it up. suppose your clothes are in equilibium with your skin and have the same tempature and emissivity. Further suppose that your net power into the room remains constant . How long does it take before the room to get to hot say 95 degrees
A house, for cooling purposes, consists of two zones: the atric area zone A and the living area zone B (see below figure). The living area is cooled by a 2 -ton air conditioning unit that removes 23,000 Btu/hr. The heat capacity of zone B is 1/6 °F per thousand Btu. The time constant for heat transfer between zone A and the outside is 3ℎr, between zone B and the outside is 6ℎr, and between the two zones is 6ℎr. If the outside temperature stays at 90°F, how warm does it eventually get in the attic zone A ?
What are the differences between an open, a closed, and an isolated system? give an example for each
Hi! I know this is a lot, but I just wanted to check if my answers and my solutions we're correct. :( can u please show me? I hope u have a wonderful day!
One of your employees is complaining of knee pain on the R. While assessing his workstation, you noted that from a sitting position (starting position: 90 deg flexion), the employee needs to exert a lot of effort to extend his right knee to 45 deg from the starting point. The length of the limb (from the tibial tuberosity to the heel area) is measured to be 38 cm. What now is the linear distance traveled by the limb from the initial position to 45 degrees of knee extension?

A house, for cooling purposes, consists of two zones: the attic area zone A and the living area zone B (see below figure). The living area is cooled by a 2-ton air conditioning unit that removes 31,000 Btu/hr. The heat capacity of zone B is 8. °F per thousand Btu. The time constant for heat transfer between zone A and the outside is 4 hr, between zone B and the outside is 8 hr, and between the two zones is 8 hr. If the outside temperature stays at 90°F, how warm does it eventually get in the attic zone A? .... It eventually gets to be (Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed.) °F in the attic zone A.
The inside wall of a furnace is at 2100oF and the outside wall is at 300oF. The wall of a furnace must be designed to transmit no more than 220 Btu/hr-ft2. Two types of bricks are available for construction:TYPE A: k = 0.38 Btu/ hr-ft-R with an allowable maximum temperature of 1400oFTYPE B: k = 0.98 Btu/ hr-ft-R with an allowable maximum temperature of 2300oF Both types of bricks have the same dimensions (9” x 4.5” x 3”) but the cost for Type B brick is twice the cost of Type A brick. Illustrate the order of arrangement of bricks A and B in the furnace wall (with thickness, estimated temperatures at the interface between walls A and B and at the interior and exterior surface, the transport area and direction of transfer included)
