8. A room is initially at the outdoor temperature of 25°C. Now a large fan that consumes 200
W of electricity when running is turned on. The heat transfer rate between the room and the
outdoor air is given as QUA(TI- To) where U = 6 W/m2 °C is the overall heat transfer
coefficient, A= 30 m² is the exposed surface area of the room, and T₁ and To are the indoor and
outdoor air temperatures, respectively. Determine the indoor air temperature when steady
operating conditions are established.
