58. A room contains 25 kg of air at 100 kPa and
14°C. The room has a 250 W refrigerator and
1kW electric resistance heater. During a cold
winter day, it is observed that both the
refrigerator and the heater are running
continuously, but the air temperature in the
room remains constant. The rate of heat loss
from the room during that day is
A passive solar house that is losing heat to the outdoors at 3C at an average rate of 50,000 kJ/h is maintained at 22C 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 80C 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 22C. Determine how long the electric heating system was on that night and the amount of entropy generated during the night.
Putting hot foods into the refrigerator without cooling them first not only wastes energy but also could spoil the foods nearby. Is it true?
