Evaluate the thickness required for the insulation you selected to reduce the refrigeration load by approximately 30%. (c) Add a 1m x 1m window glass to the room. Use the data collected from previous parts. Assume the internal surroundings surfaces (e.g., walls and ceilings) have the same temperature as the inside temperature, and the external surroundings (landscape, buildings, etc.) are also at the same temperature as the outside temperature. Assume the convection coefficients between air (internal and external) and the glass are the same as the walls and the air. If the glass has an emissivity of 0.9, calculate the rate of heat loss through the glass. Assume steady-state conditions, negligible temperature gradients in the glass, and both inner and outer surfaces exposed to large surroundings.arrow_forwardANSWER THIS THERMOFLUID QUESTIONSarrow_forward

Alter centrifugation, the resulting solution was brought to a pH of 3 and was cxtraccd with two 5-mL portions of methyl isobutyl ketone containing the organic lead complexing agent APCD. The extract was aspirated directly into an air-acetylene flame yielding an absorbance of 0.454 at 283.3 nm.

- a cylindrical can of bean puree, has a diameter of 70 mm and height of 126 mm, and is initially at a uniform temperature of 25 ° C. The cans are stacked vertically inside a retort into which steam is introduced at 120 ° C. Calculate the temperature in the center of the can after a heating time of 0.55 h at 120 ° C. Now suppose the can is in the center of a vertical stack, insulated at its two ends by the presence of the remaining cans. (The heat capacity of the metal wall of the can can be neglected.) The heat transfer coefficient of steam is estimated to be 4640 W / m2 ° K. The physical properties of the bean are k = 0.750 W / m ° K and the thermal diffusivity = 2.007 x 10-7 m2 / s.a) Calculate the temperature in the center of the product.arrow_forward1.

The heat transfer coefficient for air flowing over a sphere is to be determined by observing the temperature-time history of a sphere fabricated from pure copper. The sphere, which is 12.7 mm in diameter, is at 66°C before it is inserted into an airstream having a temperature of 27°C. A thermocouple on the outer surface of the sphere indicates 55°C 69 s after the sphere is inserted into the airstream.

- In a drying process, the moisture content of 35 kg of food will be reduced from 82% to 6%. The air used for drying enters the dryer at 80 ° C and exits at 70 ° C. To heat the air, 130 kg of saturated steam at 105 ° C is used. Food enters the dryer at 25 ° C and exits at 60 ° C.

Typical consumption of wood is 1 kg person–1day–1. (a) Estimate the heat energy required to boil a 2-liter pot full of water. Assuming this to be the cooking requirement of each person, compare this with the heat content of the wood, and thus estimate the thermal efficiency of the open fire. (b) How much timber has to be felled each year to cook for a village of 200 people?Assuming systematic replanting, what area of crop must the village therefore set aside for fuel use if it is not to make a net deforestation? Hint: refer to Table 10.4. (c) Comment on the realism of the assumptions made, and revise your estimates accordingly. Answer: (a) mcDT ≈ 0.6 MJ (heat losses from pot imply actual requirement is higher). h ≈ 3%. (b) 70 tonnes; 7 ha.arrow_forward
