In a table format show with calculations and research how much money you can save by installing a 115mm layer of insulation (R2.9) in your walls, floor and ceiling over a 5 and 10 year period. Consider the capital costs. Hint: State the current R value of each component. Convert to U value. Calculate new R value of each component (walls, floor and ceiling). Convert to U value. Use Q(W)=A*(change in U)*temperature change. Determine price for installation of new insulation. Determine price saved based on less heat loss through each component separately, then add all values together, and calculate per 5 years and per 10 years. Present all of this information in a table. You do not need to draw any diagrams, simply add the R value in series with your current components R values.

- Using the information in Problem 1.22, estimate the ambient air temperature that could cause frostbite on a calm day on the ski slopes. 1.22 In order to prevent frostbite to skiers on chair lifts, the weather report at most ski areas gives both an air temperature and the wind-chill temperature. The air temperature is measured with a thermometer that is not affected by the wind. However, the rate of heat loss from the skier increases with wind velocity, and the wind-chill temperature is the temperature that would result in the same rate of heat loss in still air as occurs at the measured air temperature with the existing wind. Suppose that the inner temperature of a 3-mm-thick layer of skin with a thermal conductivity of 0.35W/mKis35C and the air temperature is 20C. Under calm ambient conditions the heat transfer coefficient at the outer skin surface is about 20W/m2K (see Table 1.4), but in a 40-mph wind it increases to 75W/m2K. If frostbite occurs when the skin temperature drops to about 10C, do you advise the skier to wear a face mask? What is the skin temperature drop due to the wind?arrow_forwardAs a designer working for a major electric appliance manufacturer, you are required to estimate the amount of fiberglass insulation packing (k = 0.035 W/m K) that is needed for a kitchen oven shown in the figure below. The fiberglass layer is to be sandwiched between a 2-mm-thick aluminum cladding plate on the outside and a 5-mm-thick stainless steel plate on the inside that forms the core of the oven. The insulation thickness is such that the outside cladding temperature does not exceed 40C when the temperature at the inside surface of the oven is 300C. Also, the air temperature in the kitchen varies from 15Cto33C, and the average heat transfer coefficient between the outer surface of the oven and air is estimated to be 12.0W/m2K. Determine the thickness of the fiberglass insulation that is required for these conditions.
