The atmosphere within a room is at 70 °F dry-bulb temperature, 50 percent degree of saturation, and 14.696 psia pressure. The in
side surface tempera- ture of the windows is 40 °F. Will moisture con- dense out of the air upon the window glass?
1 answer:
Answer:
Given that the temperature of the window is below the dew point it will condensate.
Explanation:
A psychrometric chart (like the one attached) will give you the information needed. This chart is for 14.696 psia.
On the bottom horizontal axes you have the dry-bulb temperature, in this case 70°F, going up from this point you can reach the 50% relative humidity curve (red point on chart), going horizontally from this point to the 100% relative humidity you get the dew point temperature (the point at which moisture will condensate) (blue point on chart). In this case the dew point is 50°C. Given that the temperature of the window is below the dew point it will condensate.

Answer:
a) What is the surface temperature, in °C, after 400 s?
T (0,400 sec) = 800°C
b) Yes, the surface temperature is greater than the ignition temperature of oak (400°C) after 400 s
c) What is the temperature, in °C, 1 mm from the surface after 400 s?
T (1 mm, 400 sec) = 798.35°C
Explanation:
oak initial Temperature = 25°C = 298 K
oak exposed to gas of temp = 800°C = 1073 K
h = 20 W/m².K
From the book, Oak properties are e=545kg/m³ k=0.19w/m.k Cp=2385J/kg.k
Assume: Volume = 1 m³, and from energy balance the heat transfer is an unsteady state.
From energy balance:
Initial temperature wall =
Surface temperature = T
Gas exposed temperature =
