Chapter 5.5, Problem 101P
A house has an electric heating system that consists of a 300-W fan and an electric resistance heating element placed in a duct. Air flows steadily through the duct at a rate of 0.6 kg/s and experiences a temperature rise of 7°C. The rate of heat loss from the air in the duct is estimated to be 300 W. Determine the power rating of the electric resistance heating element.

- It is common knowledge that the temperature of air rises as it is compressed. An inventor thought about using this high-temperature air to heat buildings. He used a compressor driven by an electric motor. The inventor claims that the compressed hot-air system is 25 percent more efficient than a resistance heating system that provides an equivalent amount of heating. Is this claim valid, or is this just another perpetualmotion machine? Explain.arrow_forwardA purifying air cooler is composed of electronic air filter and a water cooling system. The air passing through the filter is cooled by the water flowing through the cooling pipe located inside the system. Water enters the pipe with a speed of 0.92 m/s at a temperature of 18 C. The water then exits the pipe at 30 C. In the current environment, the purifying air cooler is able to absorb heat from the atmosphere at the rate of 1.654 kW while simultaneously cooling the electronic components inside the device which produces heat at a rate of 0.845 kW.
