Basic Thermodynamic Processes

The word 'thermodynamics' can be divided into two words, 'thermo' and 'dynamics'. The word thermo deals with the heat and thermal phenomenon, whereas dynamics deals with forces or external agent that drives the heat flow or aids in the motion of heat.

Textbook Question

Chapter 1, Problem 87P

Two surfaces, one highly polished and the other heavily oxidized, are found to be emitting the same amount of energy per unit area. The highly polished surface has an emissivity of 0.1 at 1070 ∘ C, while the emissivity of the heavily oxidized surface is 0.78. Determine the temperature of the heavily oxidized surface.

The sun's intensity at the distance of the earth is 1370 W/m2W/m2. 30%% of this energy is reflected by water and clouds; 70%% is absorbed. What would be the earth's average temperature (in ∘C∘C) if the earth had no atmosphere? The emissivity of the surface is very close to 1. (The actual average temperature of the earth, about 15 ∘C∘C, is higher than your calculation because of the greenhouse effect.) Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

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.

Havard University campus has 200 classrooms and 400 faculty offices. The classrooms are equipped with 12 fluorescent tubes, each consuming 110 W, including the electricity used by the ballasts. The faculty offices, on average, have half as many tubes. The campus is open 240 days a year. The classrooms and faculty offices are not occupied an average of 4 h a day, but the lights are kept on. If the unit cost of electricity is $ 0.082/kWh, determine how much the campus will save a year if the lights in the classrooms and faculty offices are turned off during unoccupied periods.
