Mechanisms of heat transfer

Heat transfer is an essential discipline in thermal engineering that deals with the transfer, conversion, usability, and creation of heat or thermal energy. Transfer of heat occurs through various mechanisms like conduction, convection, radiation, and change of phases. All these mechanisms have distinct characteristics, but these mechanisms can simultaneously occur in an identical system.

1. A room is filled with saturated steam at 100°C. Now a 5-kg bowling ball at 25°C is brought to the room. Heat is transferred to the ball from the steam, and the temperature of the ball rises to 100°C while some steam condenses on the ball as it loses heat (but it still remains at 100°C). The specific heat of the ball can be taken to be 1.8 kJ/kg · C. Solve for the mass of steam that condensed during this process. (3 DECIMAL IN FINAL ANSWER PLS)
Thermodynamics: A rigid cylinder is filled with refrigerant-134a at 18°C. At this state, 40 percent of the mass is vapor. A valve at the bottom is opened, and refrigerant is withdrawn outside.Heat is transferred to the tank such that the temperature in the tank remains constant and the refrigerant fills the tank all the time (V1= V2). Determine the amount of heat that must be transferred by the time one-fourth of the total mass has been withdrawn. The tank volume is 0.1-m3. Clearly show work.
