A potato slice that is 1⁄4” inch thick is placed on a pan that is 212F. The slice has a thermal conductivity of 0.318 Btu/hr-ft-F, and an area of 4 sq in. What is the rate that it heats up if it is initially at 75F?
Consider two houses that are identical in size. House 1 has outside walls that were built using a double layer of brick. House 2 has outside walls that were built using a single layer of wood. Discuss and explain which house will be more energy efficient?
Problem 3: During summer, the temperature in Dhahran averages at 38°C for the entire day and night period. To maintain the inside of a building at the comfort level of 20°C, an Engineer suggested to use a commercial air conditioning (AC) system. The insulation and thermal design of the building is such that 28000 kJ/h of heat transfers to Inside 28000 Outside 20°C kJ/h 38°C Refrigerant loop Evaporator Condenser Compressor the building from outside. This amount of heat needs to be removed by the AC. The cost of electricity is 0.21 Ryial/kWh. Hint: 1 kWh-360OJ a. The suggested air conditioner requires a net power input to the compressor of 2 kW. Is the Engineer's suggestion valid? Calculate the coefficient of performance and the cost of electricity for one summer month. b. What is the minimum theoretical cost to operate the air conditioner? Discuss your results.
