The interior of a refrigerator whose dimensions are 0.05 x 0.05 dam base area and 1.25 m high, must be kept at 4 °C. The refrigerator walls are constructed of two steel sheets (k= 35 kcal/h.m.°C) 3 mm thick, with 65 mm of material insulation (k=0.213 kcal/h.m.°C) between them. The film coefficient of the inner surface is 10 kcal/h.m².°C, while on the external surface it varies from 8 to 12.5 kcal/h.m².°C. Calculate: a) The power (in HP) of the refrigerator motor so that the heat flux removed from the inside the refrigerator maintain the specified temperature, in a kitchen whose temperature can vary from 21 to 36 °C; b) The temperatures of the inner and outer surfaces of the wall. Given 1 HP = 641.2 Kcal/h
