A student buys a 5000 Btu window air conditioner for his apartment bedroom. He monitors it for one hour on a hot day and determi
nes that it operates approximately 60 percent of the time (duty cycle 5 60 percent) to keep the room at nearly constant temperature. (a) Showing all your work and using unity conversion ratios, calculate the rate of heat transfer into the bedroom through the walls, windows, etc. in units of Btu/h and in units of kW. (b) If the energy efficiency ratio (EER) of the air conditioner is 9.0 and electricity costs 7.5 cents per kilowatt-hr, calculate how much it costs (in cents) for him to run the air conditioner for one hour.

Answer
given,
high temperature reservoir (T_c)= 464 K
efficiency of reservoir (ε)= 25 %
temperature to decrease = ?
increase in efficiency = 42 %
now, using equation
T_C = 348 K
now,
if the efficiency is equal to 42$ = 0.42
The decimal point is placed after two digits starting from the end. For each decimal place, we can write the number divided by 100.
21.12 can be written as .
Divide the numerator and denominator by 2:
The numerator and denominator can be divided by 2 again:
There is no other common factor between numerator and denominator other than 1. Hence, it is the reduced form.
