The interior of a refrigerator has a surface area of 6.2 m2. It is insulated by a 2 cm thick material that has a thermal conductivity of 0.0199 J/m: • • C. The ratio of the heat extracted from the interior to the work done by the motor is 5.5 % of the theoretical maximum. The temperature of the room is 27.6 •C, and the temperature inside the refrigerator is 6.6 •C. Determine the power required to run the compressor. Answer in units of W.

A student staying in a room measuring 4m x 6m x 6m leaves his room on a summer morning and leaves his 150W fan on, hoping that it will be cooler when he returns in the evening. All windows and doors of his room are closed. Assuming that there is no heat transfer through the walls and windows, calculate what the room temperature will be when the student returns after 10 hours. When the student leaves the room in the morning, the room temperature is 15 ° C, the amount of air in the room is 174 kg, the specific heat value of the air is 0.718 kJ / kgoC.
Consider the rate of conductive heat transfer from the inside of an animal’s body (at 37 ˚C) tothe cooler surroundings (initially at 22 ˚C). Order the following from lowest to highestimpact. Justify your answer. The outside temperature increases to 27 ˚CThe thermal conductivity of the animal’s insulating layer is doubledThe thickness of the animal’s insulating layer is halvedThe volume of the animal is doubledThe surface of the animal becomes coated in an extremely thin layer of black oil
A furnace wall is to be designed to transmit a maximum heat flux of 220 Btu/hr.ft of wall area. The inside and outside wall temperatures are to be 2200 • F and 320 ° F. Determine the most economical arrangement of bricks measuring (9 in x 4; in x 3 in). If they are made from materials one with ak of 0.44 Btu/hr. ft. ° F and maximum usable temperature of 1700 ° F and other with a k of 0.94 Btu/hr. ft. ° F and a maximum usable temperature of 2400 ° F. Bricks made of each material cost the same amount and may be laid in any manner (but bricks must remain intact, i.e., no partial bricks). After you answer the question, determine the percent increase in heat flux if there are two -in.-diameter steel bolts extending through the wall per square foot of wall are. (k of steel = 22 Btu/hr. ft. F)|

b. A slab of stone of area (3600 + R) cm² and thickness 10 cm is exposed on the lower surface to steam of (100 + R )° C. A block of ice at 0° C rests on upper surface of the slab. In one hour 4.8 kg of ice is melted. Calculate the thermal conductivity of the stone. Consider the specific latent heat of ice is (3.36 + R) x10° Joules. R=76
A carton (50 cm x 30 cm x 85 cm) of milk, initially at 23°C, was placed in a refrigerator with the thermostat set to 4°C. After 3 hours, the temperature of the milk dropped by 3.6°C. Using the lumped systems analysis, estimate the heat transfer coefficient for the cooling of milk in the refrigerator given the following properties of milk: Density: 1035 kg/m³ Specific heat capacity: 3930 J/kg.K Thermal conductivity: 0.278 W/m·K Explain why the lumped system analysis is applicable in this situation.
student was asked to do an experiment on a refrigerator test kit during an undergraduate laboratory class in an engineering college. He conducted the experiment for a period of 30 minute and measured that the refrigerated space is maintained at -5°C, while the temperature of the laboratory is 20°C. According to his experiment, it has found that during the experiment the refrigerator draws 1 kWh of electrical energy and 40000 kJ of heat is removed from the refrigerated space. Do you think there is an error in his experiment?
