- informations of Thermal systemarrow_forwardPls.answer thank you! A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be air-conditioned with window air-conditioning units of 5 KW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate heat at a rate of about 360 KJ/hr. There are 10 light bulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100 watts. The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000 KJ/hr. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 21°C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units required.arrow_forwardFind the amount of heat lost per hour through a square foot ofbuilding wall composed of 18-in. sandstone and 3/4-in. metal lath andplaster separated by a 1 1/4-in. air space, when the temperature of theroom is 70 °F, the outdoors is 10 °F, and the wind velocity is 15 mph.arrow_forward

- Convert 22C to Fahrenheit.arrow_forwardA manufacturer in the United States wants to sell a refrigeration system to a customer in Germany. The standard measure of refrigeration capacity used in the United States is the ton (T); a 1 T capacity means that the unit is capable of making about 1 T of ice per day or has a heat removal rate of 12,00 Btu/h. The capacity of the American system is to be guaranteed at 3 T. What is this guarantee in SI units?arrow_forwardV:01 Expert Q&A Done Question 1: In your own words, write down the differences between thermodynamic and heat transfer. (3 Marks) Question 2: Estimate the heat loss per square metre of surface through a brick wall 0.5 m thick when the inner surface is at 400 K and the outside surface is at 300 K. The thermal conductivity of the brick may be taken as 0.7 W/mK. (2 Marks) Question 3: A furnace is constructed with 0.20 m of firebrick, 0.10 m of insulating brick, and 0.20 m of building brick. The inside temperature is 1200 K and the outside temperature is 330 K. If the thermal conductivities are as shown in the figure below, estimate the heat loss per unit area.
