Pls.answer thank you! A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be air-conditioned with window air-conditioning units of 5 KW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate heat at a rate of about 360 KJ/hr. There are 10 light bulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100 watts. The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000 KJ/hr. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 21°C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units required.

I need right solution with clear calculations. A workplace is occupied by 100 people who are averaging 250 Watts/person. The space is measured as 30 meters x 20 meters x 15 meters (L x W x H). What is the internal heat gain of this space given off by a full staff? If you need to provide the workplace 10 air changes per hour, what type of infiltration inflow rate need to be (cubic meters/hour)?

Molten metal at 2000 C is poured using crucible. The liquid metal jet has a diameter of 3 mm with an insulation shield of 5 cm diameter. There is a slit of 30 degrees around the insulation shield. The temperature inside the room is 30 C and the shield is 700 C. Assuming black bodies, find the net heat transfer between jet and shield, jet and room, shield and the room. One of the steps is wrong A) Resistance network is required to be built B) To find the view factor between metal and shield , ratio of the angles is used C) View factors are one of the most important steps to solve the problem D) None of the above E) Slit doesnot participate in radiation
A solar water heating system with a planar collector will be built for a site in the province of Gaziantep. The collectors will be mounted in the south direction at an angle of 41 °. In order to be able to install 100 collectors in 4 strings in the area reserved for this work, the distance between strings should be maximum 2.25 m. How many collector lengths should be chosen at most so that the collectors in the rear row can fully receive the sunlight of the rearmost collectors as of 09.00 at sundown on March 1? (Gaziantep; E=37.1°)
Given problem: Tolits is working on a restaurant famous for its soup. His end of shift is 5:00 pm and needs to go home by that time to pick up his wife, Marites for their anniversary date. A customer made a reservation at 5:15 pm and wants his soup to be ready at that exact time. To ensure the quality of the soup, it should be served at a temperature which is exactly 86C. Tolits needs to prepare the soup before the end of his shift. Initially, as Tolits is preparing the soup, its temperature is 21∘C and placed on a pan heated at 149∘C. After 5 minutes, its temperature is 36∘C. The soup is done (cooked) once its temperature is 120∘C. Tolits found out that cooling it in a sink full of cold water, while the faucet is running with the water resulting to roughly constant temperature of 26∘C, could bring the temperature of the soup to 86C to be ready at 5:15 pm. How many minutes before the end of the shift of Tolits should he start cooking soup so that he is done before 5:00 pm and his…

3. This problem will help you understand why the wind blowing makes you feel colder, especially in the winter. You are outside on a cold day. The air temperature overall is around 5° C; assume your skin temperature is 16° C a) If you stay outside for a while and there is no wind, the air around you will eventually increase in temperature past 5° C. Explain why the air heats up, using the idea of conduction. b) What is the highest temperature the air around you can reach? Explain. c) As the air around you warms up, explain why you start cooling down more slowly. d) If the wind blows, convection happens: the warm air around your body is blown away, replaced by more 5° C cold air. In this case, will you cool down more quickly or more slowly? Explain. e) Explain why the "wind chill" temperature (ie, the temperature it feels like when the wind is blowing) is colder than the actual temperature of the air.
