A room contains 60 kg of air at 100 kPa and 15°C. The room has a 250-W refrigerator (the refrigerator
consumes 250 W of electricity when running), a 120-W TV, a l- kW electric resistance heater, and a 50-W
fan. During a cold winter day, it is observed that the refrigerator, the TV, the fan, and the electric resistance
heater are running continuously but the air temperature in the room remains constant. Solve for the rate
of heat loss from the room that day.
Consider a sealed, rigid container of 10 kg of water vapor at 25°C and 80 kPa. A paddle wheel
with a power rating of 1 kW is operated within the tank for 30 minutes. During that time 7 kJ of
heat are lost to the surroundings.
1.
Define the system.
2.
What types of energy transfer occur?
3.
What is the net energy change of the system?
Taking water as an ideal gas (R = 0.4615 kJ /kg · K and cp = 1.8723 kJ/kg ·
K), determine the final temperature and pressure of the water vapor.
4.
A 50-L electrical radiator containing heating oil is placed in a 50-m³ room. Both the room and the oil in the
radiator are initially at 5°C. The radiator with a rating of 3 kW is now turned on. At the same time, heat
is lost from the room at an average rate of 0.3 kJ/s. After some time, the average temperature is measured
to be 20°C for the air in the room, and 60°C for the oil in the radiator. Taking the density and the specific
heat of the oil to be 950 kg/m³ and 2.2kJ/(kg °C), respectively, determine how long the heater is kept on.
Assume the room is well-sealed so that there are no air leaks.
