- A cheese ripening room which, has a total surface area of A = 25.0m2, has to ensure that the inside temperature does not exceed 11.0°C at all times. If the maximum outside temperature is 35.0°C and the cheese ripening room has an air conditioner which provides 125 kW of cooling, calculate the how thi ck the wooden walls would need to bein mm, in order to ensure the inside temperature do es not go above 11.0°C. Assume that the thermal W conductivity, k of wood is 0.0800 Assume that the entire cheese ripening room is m.C made of wood (including ceiling and floor) and ignore any losses through the door as it remains closed most of the time and is well sealed.

A 3.00-hour delivery trip requires 200 L of liquid nitrogen, which has a density of 808 kg/m³. Calculate the heat transfer necessary to evaporate this amount of liquid nitrogen and raise its temperature to 3.00°C. (Use Cp and assume it is constant over the temperature range.) This value is the amount of cooling the liquid nitrogen supplies. O A. None of the options provided is correct O B. 65.89 MJ O C. 161.6 MJ ○ D. 161.6 kg ○ E. 65.89 kJarrow_forward
- (a) Calculate the rate of heat conduction (in W) through house walls that are 11.5 cm thick and that have an average thermal conductivity twice that of glass wool. Assume there are no windows or doors. The surface area of the walls is 150 m2 and their inside surface is at 20.0°C, while their outside surface is at 5.00°C. 1565.21 (b) How many 1 kW room heaters would be needed to balance the heat transfer due to conduction? (Round your answer to the next whole integer.) 2 1 kW room heatersarrow_forwardIn this example we see how thermal expansion can actually throw off the accuracy of a length-measuring device-namely, a tape measure. A surveyor uses a steel measuring tape that is exactly 50.000 m long at a temperature of 20 °C. What is its length on a hot summer day when the temperature is 35 °C? SOLUTION SET UP AND SOLVE We have Lo = 50.000 m. To (Note that because AL is usually much smaller than Lo, we need steel is 1.2 x 10-5 K-¹. Using the same equation, The new length is Part A - Practice Problem: 20 °C, and T 35 °C. We use the following equation to find AL: AL=aLo AT IVD ΑΣΦ Submit L = Lo + AL 50.000 m -0.0090 m : 50,009 m REFLECT The measuring tape lengthens by 9 mm, or 0.018%. In surveying a baseball field, this amount is negligible, but not when measuring the length of a steel bridge. Note that, although Lo is given to five significant figures, we need only two of them to compute AL. Request Answer keep more significant figures in the lengths than in the temperatures.)

Seals may cool themselves by using thermal windows, patches on their bodies with much higher than average surface temperature. Suppose a seal has a 0.030 m2 thermal window at a temperature of 30∘C. If the seal's surroundings are a frosty -15 ∘C, what is the net rate of energy loss by radiation? Assume an emissivity equal to that of a human. Express the answer in watts. Thank you for the help! It is appreicated.arrow_forward
