A 4-m x 5-m x 6-m room is to be heated by a baseboard resistance heater. It is desired that the resistance heater be able to raise the air temperature in the room from 7°C to 25°C within 15 minutes. Assuming no heat losses from the room and an atmospheric pressure of 100 kPa, determine the required power rating of the resistance heater Assume constant specific heats at room temperature

A rigid tank contains air at 40°C that is being stirred by a paddle wheel. The paddle wheel does 400 kJ of work on the air (R=0.287 kJ/kgK, cv=0.718 kJ/kgK, and cp=1.005 kJ/kgK). It is observed that the temperature of the air remains constant during this process as a result of heat transfer between the system and the surroundings at 30°C. The entropy generation for this process is
Putting hot foods into the refrigerator without cooling them first not only wastes energy but also could spoil the foods nearby. Is it true?
Define the work (boundary) done on an adiabatic system is equal to the increase in the energy of the system.
a) A gas is trapped in a piston-cylinder device. The initial pressure and temperature of the gas are 500 kPa and 300 K, respectively. The system undergoes an isothermal expansion process, in which 15KJ of boundary work is done by the gas and 3KJ of paddle-wheel work is done on the gas. Determine the amount heat transfer during this process. Explain the direction of the heat transfer.
1. A Carnot heat engine receive 1200 kJ of heat per cycle from a high-temperature reservoir at 420 °C and reject heat to a low-temperature reservoir at 35 °C. Determine the thermal efficiency of this Carnot engine, the maximum work produced and the amount of heat rejected to the low temperature reservoir. II. A 1-m³ tank containing air at 25°C and 500 Kpa (abs) is connected through a valve to another tank containing 5 kg of air at 35°C and 200 Kpa (abs). Now the valve is opened, and the system is allowed to reach thermal equilibrium, which are at 20 °C. Determine the volume of the second tank and the final equilibrium pressure of air.
An ideal Carnot heat pump operates from a low temperature reservoir T₁-281.2 K and supplies 5.91 kW of high temperature heating power to a house with high temperature Th=311K. Determine the power that a motor needs to drive the pump. Present your answer in kilo-Watts (kW).
A heat engine operates between two reservoirs at 200°C and 20°C. One-half of the work output of the heat engine is used to drive a compressor of a refrigeration system, which is used to cool the chiller in a factory. (i) Apples with average mass of 500 g are dropped into the chiller at a rate of 10 pieces per minute, cooling from 20°C to 4°C. Determine the heat transfer rate of the apples.
