A room is initially at the outdoor temperature of 25°C. Now a large fan that consumes 200 W of electricity when running is turned on (Fig. 2–51). The heat transfer rate between the room and the outdoor air is given as Q · = UA(Ti − To) where U = 6 W/m2 ·°C is the overall heat transfer coefficient, A = 30 m2 is the exposed surface area of the room, and Ti and To are the indoor and outdoor air temperatures, respectively. Determine the indoor air temperature when steady operating conditions are established.
