A double-pane glass window consists of two pieces of glass, each having athickness of 8 mm, with a thermal conductivity of k = 1.4 W⁄m ⋅ K . The twoglass panes are separated by an air gap of 10 mm, as shown in Figure 11.10 .Assuming the thermal conductivity of air to be k = 0.025 W⁄m ⋅ K , determinethe total R-value for this window. The total thermal resistance of the window is obtained by adding the resistance offered by each pane of glass and the air gap in the following manner:
The Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) of an air-conditioning unit is defined asthe ratio of the heat removed in Btu/h divided by the energy used in watts.The EEI (Edison Electric Institute) names an air-conditioning unit as anEnergy Star unit if it has an EER of 13 or greater. A 21⁄2-ton air-conditioningunit uses 2.41 kilowatts (2,410 watts) of energy. One ton is equivalent to12,000 Btu/h. Can this unit be termed an Energy Star unit?

Blowers are used in wastewater treatment plants to assist microorganisms in degrading pollutants. The impeller of a centrifugal blower has a radius of 15 cm and a blade width of 6.1 cm at the inlet, and a radius of 30 cm and a blade width of 3.4 cm at the outlet. The blower delivers atmospheric air at 20°C and 95 kPa. Disregarding any losses and assuming the tangential components of air velocity at the inlet and the outlet to be equal to the impeller velocity at respective locations, determine the volumetric flow rate of air when the rotational speed of the shaft is 800 rpm and the power consumption of the blower is 120 W. Also determine the normal components of velocity at the inlet and outlet of the impeller.
