Chapter 5.5, Problem 161RP
In a dairy plant, milk at 4°C is pasteurized continuously at 72°C at a rate of 20 L/s for 24 h a day and 365 days a year. The milk is heated to the pasteurizing temperature by hot water heated in a natural-gas-fired boiler that has an efficiency of 90 percent. The pasteurized milk is then cooled by cold water at 18°C before it is finally refrigerated back to 4°C. To save energy and money, the plant installs a regenerator that has an effectiveness of 82 percent. If the cost of natural gas is $1.10/therm (1 therm = 105.500 kJ), determine how much energy and money the regenerator will save this company per year.

A passive solar house that is losing heat to the outdoors at an average rate of 50,000 kJ/h is maintained at 22°C at all times during a winter night for 10 h. The house is to be heated by 50 glass containers each containing 20 L of water that is heated to 80°C during the day by absorbing solar energy. A thermostat-controlled 15-kW backup electric resistance heater turns on whenever necessary to keep the house at 22°C. How long did the electric heating system run that night?
THERMOFLUID
A 4-in X 5-m X 7-m room is heated by the radiator of a steam-heating system. The steam radiator transfers heat at a rate of 10.000 kJ/h, and a 100-W fan is used to distribute the warm air in the room. The rate of heat loss from the room is estimated to be about 5000 kJ/h. If the initial temperature of the room air is 10°C, determine how long it will take for the air temperature to rise to 20°C, Assume constant specific heats at room temperature.
Steam at 200 kPa and 150°C is used to prepare hot water in a
flow system. The steam cools and condenses such that the
outlet flow is a saturated liquid (note that flows in heat
exchangers generally have negligible pressure differences
between the inlet and outlet.) The water to be heated enters
at 10°C and we want 55°C (~130°F) hot water at the outlet. If
we want 0.1 kg/s of hot water, how much steam is needed
(kg/s)?
