An object was left in a room of unknown surrounding temperature. The temperature of the object was summarized below with respect to the time t (in minutes) the object was initially observed. Predict and complete the information, i.e. determine the temperature in Celsius when t = 30 minutes. Put your answer accurate up to four decimal places. No need to put in the units of measurement. When t = 0, the temperature of the object is 30 degrees Celsius. When t = 10 minutes, the temperature of the object is 32 degrees Celsius. When t = 20 minutes, the temperature of the object is 33.6 degrees Celsius. When t = 30 minutes, the temperature of the object is unknown. Assume the system obeys Newton’s Law of Cooling and the surrounding temperature of the room did not change.
A 20-ton vapor compression refrigeration system is to evaporate R-12 at -20°C and to condense it at 40°C. The vertical compressor is to run at 10000 rpm; it is single acting, has the bore equal to the stroke, and has 5% clearance. Vapor enters the compressor at -10°C and liquid enters the expansion valve at 30°C. Draw the schematic and ts diagram 1.1 What refrigeration flow rate is required?1.2 What would be the bore and stroke of the compressor?1.3 What power is required by the compressor?1.4 What is the quantity of the cooling water required in the condenser for a 8-degree increase in temperature?
Please, I need help with the 3 questions. I have tried solving them but the result is not consistent with other things im finding online... How do I even calculate the net on the first question...1)Consider a domestic hot water tank that has a total surface area of A = 2.9 m2. The tank and its contents are maintained at a constant temperature of 58 °C by an electric immersion heater and the temperature of the surroundings outside the tank is 19°C. The emissivity of the tank is ε = 0.76. Calculate the net power radiated by the tank (i.e. the difference between the power radiated and the power absorbed). Give your final answer to an appropriate number of significant figures. 2)The tank is now completely surrounded by an insulating layer of rock mineral wool of thickness l = 0.115 m. The thermal conductivity of rock mineral wool is k = 0.032 W m−1 K−1.You may assume that the surface area of the layer of rock mineral wool is the same as the surface area of the tank. Calculate the power…

Direction: Solve the following problems. Please box your final answer and write your solution clearly. A cargo ship has tanks for carrying fuel oil. The oil is measured in barrels, while the tank dimensions are in meters, 1m x 5m x 15m. How many barrels does the tank hold? How many gallons? (42 gal = 1 barrel) In a non-flow process carried out 5.4 kg substance, there was a specified internal energy decrease of 50 kJ/kg and a work transfer of the substance of 8.5 kJ/kg. Determine the heat transfer and a state whether it is gain or loss.

6.1 The thermal energy radiated out of an ingot is proportional to its surface area. Derive an equation for maximum pull rate Vmax that is related to the radius R and length / of the ingot. 6.2 "Heat loss is proportional to surface area." Assume that you have access to a thermometer in your kitchen. Design a conceptual experiment to prove the given statement. Explain possible errors that can occur in your experiment. (You are conducting the experiment in your kitchen; just like your cooking, the experiment does not have to be precise. Welare looking for concepts.)
