You have a double-pane window that is 120.0 cm wide by 80.0 cm tall; the gap between the window panes is 2.0 cm. Assuming the gap is filled with air with a pressure of 1.00 atm, the inside and outside temperatures are 20.0°C and -3.0°C; and ignoring the resistance of the glass window panes; calculate the heat transfer rate through this window.

An aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross-sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 300 K. (a) If one-half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool. (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K, what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)

One easy way to reduce heating (and cooling) costs is to add extra insulation in the attic of a house. Suppose a single-story cubical house already had 15 cm of fiberglass insulation in the attic and in all the exterior surfaces. If you added an extra 8.0 cm of fiberglass to the attic, by what percentage would the heating cost of the house drop? Take the house to have dimensions 10 m by 15 m by 3.0m. Ignore air infiltration and heat loss through windowsand doors, and assume that the interior is uniformly at one temperature and the exterior is uniformly at another.

Air enters a 18cm diameter underwater duct at 50 °C at a volumetric flow rate of 0.180 m³/s. The air is cooled by the water outside and leaves at 15.5 °C. If the average heat transfer coefficient inside the pipe is 65 W/m²K and the tube temperature is constant at 10 °C, determine the steady rate of heat transfer to the air. Assume the density of air to be 1.281kg/m³ and its specific heat capacity is 1006J/kgK. O kw 07kW O BAW Oskw
Air enters the duct of an air-conditioning system at 15 psia and 50°F at a volume flow rate of 450 ft3/min.

A building with an internal volume of 400 m3 is to be heated by a 30-kW electric resistance heater placed in the duct inside the building. Initially, the air in the building is at 14°C, and the local atmospheric pressure is 95 kPa. The building is losing heat to the surroundings at a steady rate of 450 kJ/min. Air is forced to flow through the duct and the heater steadily by a 250-W fan, and it experiences a temperature rise of 5°C each time it passes through the duct, which may be assumed to be adiabatic. (a) How long will it take for the air inside the building to reach an average temperature of 24°C? (b) Determine the average mass flow rate of air through the duct.
