1. It is commonly recommended that hot foods be cooled first to room temperature by simply waiting a while before
they are put into the refrigerator to save energy. Despite this common sense recommendation, a person keeps cooking
a large pan of stew twice a week and putting the pan into the refrigerator while it is still hot, thinking that the money
saved is probably too little. The average mass of the pan and its contents is 5-kg. The average temperature of the
kitchen is 20°C, and the average temperature of the food is 95°C when it is taken off the stove. The refrigerated space
is maintained at 3°C, and the average specific heat of the food and the pan can be taken to be 3.9 kJ/kg-K. If the
refrigerator has a coefficient of performance of 1.2 and the cost of electricity is Php 21.59 per kW-hr. Determine how
much will be saved a year by waiting for the food to cool to room temperature before putting it into the refrigerator.

A student staying in a room measuring 4m x 6m x 6m leaves his room on a summer morning and leaves his 150W fan on, hoping that it will be cooler when he returns in the evening. All windows and doors of his room are closed. Assuming that there is no heat transfer through the walls and windows, calculate what the room temperature will be when the student returns after 10 hours. When the student leaves the room in the morning, the room temperature is 15 ° C, the amount of air in the room is 174 kg, the specific heat value of the air is 0.718 kJ / kgoC.
A steel billet of 2000 kg mass is to be cooled from 1250 K to 450 K. The heat released during this process is to be used as a source of energy. The ambient temperature is 303 K and specific heat of steel is 0.5 kJ/kgK. The available energy of this billet is?
