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-C line Liquid R-134a A rigid container containing 6.6 kg of saturated liquid R-134a at 24°C is used to fill an air-conditioning system. A valve is opened and allows liquid R-134a to escape the tank into the A-C line until only 0.49 kg of R-134a remains in the tank, at which point the valve is closed. During the process, heat transfer is allowed to occur to maintain the tank temperature at 24°C. What is the quality of the refrigerant inside the tank at the end of the process? What is the total heat transfer for this process? KJ
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
