An air conditioner supplies cold air at the same temperature to each room on the fourth floor of the building shown
in Fig. The floor plan is shown in Fig. The cold air flow produces an equal amount of heat flow ݍ out of each room. Write a set of
differential equations governing the temperature in each room, where To= temperature outside the building, Ro= resistance to heat
flow through the outer walls, Ri= resistance to heat flow through the inner walls. Thermal capacitance of each room is C. Assume
that (1) all rooms are perfect squares, (2) there is no heat flow through the floors or ceilings, and (3) the temperature in each room
is uniform throughout the room. Take advantage of symmetry to reduce the number of differential equations to three.

How long will it take the water heater to heat a 67 gallon tank of water from 10 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius? (1 kilogram of water is 0.37 gallons, 1 Calorie = 4200 J). It may be helpful to refer back to the weekly handout for guidance on this problem. Your final answer should be in minutes (rounded to the nearest 10 minutes).arrow_forwardB6arrow_forward
- Q1: If a calorimeter is not assumed to be adiabatic, how would one calculate the heat transfer? Guide Questions: What are the parameters to be considered and the equations to be used? What law of thermodynamics does this transfer of heat to the surroundings touch? Is an adiabatic system automatically considered as a closed system? Please help me understand by also attaching a reference/book/journal article. This would help me in my essay. Thank you.arrow_forwardA conditioned space has a calculated heat loss at the design maximum heating day of 10,000 BTUs / Hr to maintain an interior temperature of 70 F. We will use a hydronic baseboard style convector to heat the space. The style we have chosen comes in standard lengths. At rated temperature and flow of hydronic heating fluid for each 1 foot of length the heater will add 750 BTUs /Hr to the room. What length of heater can just maintain the temperature on the worst day? For this example we are ignoring other sources of heat loss such as ventilation or drafts.arrow_forwardTHERMODYNAMICS TOPIC: FIRST LAW OF THERMO/THERMODYNAMIC SYSTEM SOLVE COMPLETELY.

In Jamestown, NY, a coal power plan consumes coal at a rate of 80 tons/hr. When coal burns, it generates approximately 30,000 kJ for every kg of coal burned. The cooling course for the plant is the nearby Chadakoin River nearby and, by code, the power plant cannot reject more than 13.19 x 109 MJ into the river annually. Determine the maximum average power output of this plant and it's maximum thermal efficiency. To check your work, enter the efficiency, as a decimal, in the box provided.arrow_forwardQ3: Consider evaluation of different temperatures of solar photovoltaic/thermal system (PVT) as shown in Figure 1(a).
