Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 7CP
In order to size the compressor of a new refrigerator, we wish to determine the rate of heat transfer from the kitchen air into the refrigerated space through the walls, door and the top and bottom sections of the refrigerator. In your analysis, would you treat this as a transient or as a steady-state heat transfer problem? Also, would you consider the heat transfer to be one-dimensional or multidimensional? Explain.
