A garage (24 ft * 24 ft * 10 ft) is illuminated by six 60-W incandescent bulbs. It is estimated that 90% of the energy to an incandescent bulb is dissipated as heat. If the bulbs are on for 3 hours, how much would the temperature in the garage increase because of the light bulbs (assuming no energy losses). Complete an Excel worksheet like the one illustrated in Figure 1.71 to answer this question. Potentially useful information: • Air density (approximate): 1.2kg/m3 • Air heat capacity (approximate): 1000 joules/kg K • 3.28 ft = 1 m

Transcribed Image Text:1.3 Temperature Increase due to Incandescent Lighting
When energy is added to a fluid, the temperature of the fluid increases. An egua-
tion describing this phenomenon is
Q = M Cp AT
where Q is the amount of energy added (joules)
is the mass of the fluid (kg)
is the heat capacity of the fluid (joules/kg K)
is the change in temperature (K, or °C)
