Concept explainers

Conduction and Convection

When energy travels from one object to another it is said to have undergone heat transfer. Heat transfer is nothing but the transfer of thermal energy or internal energy from one thing to another, like e.g., when a vessel with water, kept on top of a burner, heats up because of the flame underneath it.

R Value: Wall: 0.961m2k/w Floor: 0.676m2k/w Roof: 0.7465m2k/w In a table format show with calculations and research how much money you can save by installing a 115mm layer of insulation (R2.9) in your walls, floor and ceiling over a 5 and 10 year period. Consider the capital costs. Hint: State the current R value of each component. Convert to U value. Calculate new R value of each component (walls, floor and ceiling). Convert to U value. Use Q(W)=A*(change in U)*temperature change. Determine price for installation of new insulation. Determine price saved based on less heat loss through each component separately, then add all values together, and calculate per 5 years and per 10 years. Present all of this information in a table. You do not need to draw any diagrams, simply add the R value in series with your current components R values. Assume the energy cost is 25 cents kWh

An electric heater producing 260 W of heat is used to warm up a room containing 7 m3 of air. If we assume the room is perfectly sealed and there is no heat loss through the room boundaries, such that all of the heater output goes into increasing the air temperature, how long will it take to heat up the air in the room from 5.0 °C to 24.1 °C? Give your answer to the nearest minute and assume that the specific volume (v = 0.85 m3/kg) and specific heat capacity at constant volume (cv = 1.005 kJ/(kg K)) remain constant throughout the heating process.

Answer question 2 based on the results of question 1. You have a natural gas furnace in your home that used 78,500 cubic feet of natural gas for heating last winter. Your neighbor has a furnace that burns heating oil, and used 516 gallons of heating oil last winter. You can convert the natural gas and heating oil consumption data into Btu to determine which home used more energy for heating. Natural gas BTU: 1,028 Btu per cubic foot Oil BTU: 138,590 Btu per gallon Natural Gas BTU= 80698000 Btu Oil BTU = 71512440 Btu The home that used a natural gas furnace used more energy for heating. 2. You need a new furnace for your home, and you are comparing systems that use natural gas and heating oil. One factor to consider is the cost of fuel. You can compare the price of the fuels on an equal basis by dividing the price per unit of the fuels by the Btu content per unit of the fuels to get a price per million Btu. Assume Natural gas price = $10.50 per thousand cubic…
