you are asked to design a heating system for a swimming pool that is 2m deep 25 m long and 25 m wide. your client desires that the heating system to be large enough to raise the water temperature from 20 to 30° C in 3h.the rate of heat loss from the water to the air at the outdoor design conditions is determined to be 960W/m^2 and the heater must also be able to maintain the pool at 30° C at those conditions.heat loses to the ground are expected to be small and can be disregarded.the heater considered is a natural gas furnace whose efficiency is 80 percent. what heater size (in kW input) would You recommend tO YOur client?

The energy required to heat a 50m^2 living area in Canberra is of 18738 MJ per year.Assume the external air temperature in Canberra is 6℃, while the desired internal airtemperature is 19℃.The living area can be heated by electric element heater (assume it convert 100% ofelectricity into heat), by heat pump operating between the external and internal airtemperatures with coefficient of performance 3.0 and by a reversible heat pump operatingbetween the same temperatures. Consider for the electricity the cost of 22 cents per kWh.Question:(a) Determine the annual cost of heating the living area with the three systems above.(b) Determine for the two heat pumps the amount of energy per year received from theexternal air.
If I have a simple piston-cylinder heat engine, where air is the working system and constant heat is applied, thereafter a mass is applied to the piston creating a higher pressure (reduction in volume), would this process be considered isothermal or polytropic? The walls of the cylinder are not insulted either.
A retrofitted space-heating system is being considered for a small office building. The system can be purchased and installed for $120,000, and it will save an estimated 300,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electric power each year over a seven-year period. A kilowatt-hour of electricity costs $0.120, and the company uses a MARR of 15% per year in its economic evaluations of refurbished systems. The market value of the system will be $8,200 at the end of seven years, and additional annual operating and maintenance expenses are negligible. Use the benefit–cost method to make a recommendation.
a tray of liquid water is placed in a freezer where it cools from 20 deg C to "-5" deg C. what is the total amount of energy needed to freeze per unit of liquid water? the specific heat of ice is half of the specific heat of liquid water. the latent heat of fusion for water is 335 kj/kg include diagram
You are asked to assess the validity of a power-generating device. The device supposedly operates steadily by receiving 256 kW via heat transfer at 4.5 °C, receiving 370 kW via heat transfer at 115 °C, and rejecting 200 kW via heat transfer at -180 °C. The device generates electrical power in response to these various heat transfers. a. determine its electrical power output, in kW. b. Is the device feasible? Does it violate 1st and/or 2nd law of thermodynamics?
The air in a theatre room must be 22 °C and the relative humidity 55%. The outdoor temperature is 30 °C and relative humidity 50%. There are 900 seats in the room and 25 m³/h of fresh air is reserved for each seat. Every attendant releases a heat load (sensible + latent) of 100 W and a moisture load of 80 g/h. The sum of heat loads from other than human sources is 20 kW. What must the supply air state be in order to maintain the indoor conditions mentioned above?
(c) A resistant heater jacket 6.5kW is wrapped around a water bath for 240 minutes to raise the water temperature to the desired temperature level. Determine the amount of electric energy used in both kWh and kJ.
What is the heat transfer rate of initial temperature of 26 degree Celsius and the final temperature is 85 degree Celsius.
B// What are the methods of draught in cooling towers. Demonstrate them with drawings. What is the relationship between the cooling tower and condenser. Q4IIA// Prove for the condenser: %3D + Cow (Tw2-Tw1) when the temperature of cooling water outlet and inlet is equal to saturation temperature of steam and the condensate leaving the condenser respectively; also, the inlet of condenser is dry steam with unity latent heat.

A refrigerator has a coefficient of performance of 2.50, requires 150 W of electrical power to operate, and maintains a temperature of -4.00 °C within its interior compartment. How long would it take to cool a dozen 1.00 L of water in a plastic wrapper from 33.0 °C to -4.00 °C in this refrigerator? Any heat escaping the plastic should be ignored. Remember that 1.00 g/cm3 is the density of water.
