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.

b) Refrigerators are systems that are used to remove heat from a cooled space then reject heat to a space of higher temperature. Consider a refrigerator operating at normal conditions, removing heat from a cool space at a rate of 150 kJ/min to ensure the refrigerated space is kept at -5 °C. If the surrounding air is at 27 °C and assuming that the refrigerator is operating as a Carnot cycle, determine: 1) The rate of heat being rejected to the surrounding in kJ/min The coefficient of performance of this refrigeration process 11) 111) The minimum required power on this process (give your answer in kW)
1. (i) A can of soft drink at room temperature is put into the refrigerator so that it will cool. Would you model the can of soft drink as a closed system or as an open system? (ii) A candle is burning in a well-insulated room. Taking the room (the air plus the candle) as the system, determine if there is any heat transfer during the burning process. Explain how?

Thermodynamics
THERMODYNAMICS 1. Calculate the amount of energy required in BTU to heat the air in a house 30 by 50 by 40 ft from 10 to 70°F at constant pressure. 2. Brine enters a cooler at the rate of 50 m3/hr at 15°C and leaves at 1°C. Specific heat and specific gravity of brine are 1.07 kJ/kg–K and 1.1 respectively. Calculate the heat transferred in kW. 3. How many BTU/min is required to produce 10 metric tons of ice per day at -10°C from raw water at 22°C? The latent heat of fusion of ice is 335 kJ/kg.
A heat pump is used to meet the heating requirements of a house and maintain it at 20°C. On a day when the outdoor air temperature drops to -2°C, the house is estimated to lose heat at a rate of 63,000 kJ/h. If the heat pump under these conditions has a COP of 1.8, determine the rate at which heat is absorbed from the cold outdoor air. Select one: a. 28,000 kJ/h b. 58,000 kJ/h c. 38,000 kJ/h d. 48,000 kJ/h NEED ASAP. I WILL UPVOTE
