- THERMOFLUID A student living in a 3-m X 4-m X 4-m dormitory room turns on her 100-W fan before she leaves the room on a summer day, hoping that the room will be cooler when she comes back in the evening. Assuming all the doors and heat trans windows are tightly closed and disregarding any heat fer let through the walls and the windows, determine the temperature in the room when she comes back 8 h later. Use specific heat values at room temperature, and assume room to be at 100 kPa and 20°C in the morning she leaves.arrow_forwardThermodynamicclass contains 32 undergrad students. The plan is to air-conditionthe classroomwith air-conditioning units of 8-kW cooling capacity. It is assumed that on average each studentdissipate heat at a rate of about 300 kJ/h. There are 12lightbulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100 W. The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 14,000 kJ/h. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 23oC,i.e. ∆?????≈0, determine the number of air-conditioning units required.arrow_forwardwith references pleasearrow_forward
