- Question : Studies show that the major energy consumption in Fijian villages is wood which is used for cooking over open fires. 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.

- (a) Find the refrigeration capacity if no insulation is used for the walls and ceiling. (b) Select insulation(s) for the wall and ceiling to reduce the refrigeration capacity. 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.
