Problem 04.122 - Energy balance for a passive solar house
A passive solar house that is losing heat to the outdoors at an average rate of 50,000 kJ/h is maintained at 22°C at all
times during a winter night for 10 h. The house is to be heated by 50 glass containers each containing 20 L of water that is
heated to 80°C during the day by absorbing solar energy. A thermostat-controlled 19.00-kW backup electric resistance
heater turns on whenever necessary to keep the house at 22°C. The density and specific heat of water at room
temperature are p= 1 kg/L and c=4.18 kJ/kg. °C.
