A fluid enters a device steadily at 35 m/s, 200 kPa and 65C and exits at 240 m/s and 95 kPa. The heat transferred from the device to the surrounds at 17C is founded to be 3 kJ/kg. If the exit velocity is varying from 100 to 300 m/s, determine the exit temperature and exergy destroyed and plot the results. Take the fluid is Air. Please solve the above question with EES only.
Q4: Consider the heat flow in one direction (x-axis) through the composite wall shown in Figure Q4. Draw the thermal circuit then determine T1 and T2, and the heat flux (q, W/m2), knowing that the thermal conductivity of the Fir (0.11 W/m.°C), the concrete cinder block (0.76 W/m.°C), the building brick (0.69 W/m.°C) and the yellow pine (0.147 W/m.°C). Consider also the concrete cinder block and building brick sections are of equal thickness.

A 100 mm concrete wall is to be used to make a cold storage. The floor and ceiling is to use the same material. The room is supposed to have height of 5 m, length of 7 m and a width of 6 m. The ambient temperature is 36 degrees and the room has to be cooled at 3 degrees. The cold storage is to be used to cool 1600 kg of milk. Conduct the cooling load calculation for the room and determine the cooling capacity of the cooling equipment required for this room. Subject- Civil Engineering Only correct answer
A long rectangular bar (cross section size: 0.36 m x0.13 m, k = 57 W/m K, a= 4.40x10 m/s) is initially at 230°C and is suddenly exposed to a convective environment at 29°C. The heat transfer coefficient is h=35 W/m K. Estimate the temperature at the center of the bar after 10 minutes. How much heat has been lost per unit length from the bar?

Solve for what is being required. Room dimensions are: LxWxH = 8.50 m, 5.0 m, 3m. Originally, the room had linoleum flooring with an absorption coefficient of 0.03. Two opposite walls were cladded with unglazed bricks with an absorption coefficient of 0.02, the one having the entrance gypsum door (2.1 m X 0.80 m) with 0.05 abs.co.; the other two were just bare concrete with sliding glass window openings of 1.80m x 1.20 m each; the bare concrete with an abs.co. Of 0.31 and the window glass with 0.18, the ceiling, too , had bare concrete as its finish at 500 Hz. The client would like to renovate the space into an acoustical studio room and would like to change the ceiling and the flooring. The ceiling will have a vinyl faced fiberglass panel with an abs.co. of 0.71, and the floor will have mineral fiber tiles with an abs.co. Of 0.66, all at 500 Hz.
