- A house, for cooling purposes, consists of two zones: the attic area zone A and the living area zone B (see below figure). The living area is cooled by a 2-ton air conditioning unit that removes 19 °F per thousand Btu. The time constant for heat 4 41,000 Btu/hr. The heat capacity of zone B is transfer between zone A and the outside is 2 hr, between zone B and the outside is 4 hr, and between the two zones is 4 hr. If the outside temperature stays at 90°F, how warm does it eventually get in the attic zone A? It eventually gets to be F in the attic zone A.

- 1.25 A common procedure for measuring the velocity of an airstream involves the insertion of an electrically heated wire (called a hot-wire anemometer) into the airflow, with the axis of the wire oriented perpendicular to the flow direction. The electrical energy dissipated in the wire is assumed to be transferred to the air by forced convection. Hence, for a prescribed electrical power, the temperature of the wire depends on the convection coef- ficient, which, in turn, depends on the velocity of the air. Consider a wire of length L = 20 mm and diameter D = 0.5 mm, for which a calibration of the form V = 6.25 × 10-5 h² has been determined. The velocity V and the convection coefficient h have units of m/s and W/m².K, respectively. In an application involving air at a temperature of T = 25°C, the surface temperature of the anemometer is maintained at T₁ 75°C with a volt- age drop of 5 V and an electric current of 0.1 A.
