Consider a heat transfer situation. Heat flows from the hot item or area to the cold item or area. Describe this in terms of spontaneity.
3. A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be air-conditioned with window air-conditioning units of 5-kW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate heat at a rate of about 360 kJ/h. There are 10 light bulbs 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 15,000 kJ/h. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 210C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units required. draw a figure also, and explain each step by step solution.
Calculate the amount of energy (in BTU) required to heat the air in a house 26 ft by 29 ft by 42 ft from 21 to 106 °F. The density of air is 0.08 lb/ft³.

The bread is (L x L) cooked on rock and the rock is (L x L) heated by flames from the bottom uniformly. The bottom of the bread is in contact with the rock. The contact resistance between the rock and the bread is R-0,2°C/W. The top and the sides of the bread is in contact with a wooden lid (cover). After the bread is cooked the chef takes it from the rock,cools it down to 10°C in the refrigerator and then puts it back on the rock to heat it. The flame temperature is 900°C. If the the bottom of the bread reaches 260°C, it burns. For how long can the chef heat the bread without burning it? Use the below values. HINT: Wood is a bad heat conductor.

To do this, you want to use photovoltaic panels as an energy source. It would be about using 15 panels each with an area of 1.5 m2. These panels would be connected to an electrical resistance that would heat the house as shown in the figure. The house is losing heat through the walls and ceiling as shown in the figure. The panels are receiving solar radiation at a rate of 800 W / m2 and if their efficiency is 15%. How much will the temperature of the house rise after an hour? The house is hermetically sealed.
