O b. irradiance
O c. solar inverter
o d. voltage
One of the most common appliances used on a daily basis is the hair dryer. A hair dryer is basically a
duct in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. A small fan at the back of the device pulls
the air in and forces it through the resistors where it is heated (see Fig. 1).
The power consumed by the heating elements (i.e. electric resistors) of the hair dryer is 1258 Watts.
Air enters the hair dryer at 95 kPa and 25°C and leaves at 50°C. The cross-sectional area of the hair
dryer at the exit is 55 cm². The power consumed by the fan is 2 Watts and the heat loss through the
walls of the hair dryer is 5 Watts. By clearly stating your assumptions throughout,
1.Analytically describe the Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics working principles of the
hairdryer;
2. Provide a schematic diagram of the hair dryer clearly indicating the system's boundaries,
mass flows and energy/heat flows;
3. Determine the volumetric flow rate of the air at the inlet;
4. Determine the velocity of the…

resistance is 96 ohm at its operating temperature of
2900°C. Calculate the filament resistance when the lamp is
disconnected from the electric source under which
conditions the temperature is 24°C.
