A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be air-conditioned with window air-conditioning units of 5 kW cooling capacit

y. A person at rest may be assumed to dissi- pate heat at a rate of about 80 Watts. There are 10 light bulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100 W. The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000 kJ/h.
a. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 21°C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units required.
b. What is the source of heat being generated for the light bulbs and for the students?

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Heat energy given out by 40 people

= 40 x 80 = 3200 J in one second

Heat energy given out by 10 light bulbs

= 10 x 100 = 1000 J in one second

Heat transfer by wall = 15000 x 1000 J in one hour

= 15000 x 1000 / 60 x 60

= 4166.67 J in one second

Total energy

= 3200 + 1000 + 4166 .67 J in one second

= 8366.67 J

To drive this much of heat , we need 2 air -conditioner of 5000 W each.

b ) Source of heat for bulb is electrical energy of bulb

For the students , source of heat by student is the bio- chemical reactions taking place in the body of the student which is exothermic.

. A 10W light bulb connected to a series of batteries may produce a brighter lightthan a 250W light bulb connected to the same b
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the equation:

Power dissipated= square of voltage supplied by battery ÷ Resistance of the load

i.e P= V^2/R

It means that at constant voltage, the the power consumed is inversely related to the resistance. Therefore the 10W bulb which has a higher resistance will consume less power using the sufficiently excess power dissipated to glow brighter than the 250W bulb which has a low resistance. The power dissipated will partly be used to overcome this low resistance making less power available for heating up the 250W bulb .

Question Completion Status:
Mashutka [201]

Answer: c. Centre of pressure​

Explanation:

Pressure is applied on a surface when a force is exerted on a particular point on that surface by another object when the two come into contact with each other.

The point where the pressure is applied is known as the centre of the pressure with the force then spreading out from this point much like an epicentre in an earthquake.

An experiment to determine the convection coefficient associated with airflow over the surface of a thick stainless steel castin
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

h = 375 KW/m^2K

Explanation:

Given:

Thermo-couple distances: L_1 = 10 mm , L_2 = 20 mm

steel thermal conductivity k = 15 W / mK

Thermo-couple temperature measurements: T_1 = 50 C , T_2 = 40 C

Air Temp T_∞ = 100 C

Assuming there are no other energy sources, energy balance equation is:

                                               E_in = E_out

                                        q"_cond = q"_conv

Since, its a case 1-D steady state conduction, the total heat transfer rate can be found from Fourier's Law for surfaces 1 and 2

q"_cond = k * (T_1 - T_2) / (L_2 - L_1) = 15 * (50 - 40) / (0.02 - 0.01)

=15KW/m^2

Assuming SS is solid, temperature at the surface exposed to air will be 60 C since its gradient is linear in the case of conduction, and there are two temperatures given in the problem. Convection coefficient can be found from Newton's Law of cooling:

q"_conv = h * ( T_∞  - T_s ) ----> h = q"_conv / ( T_∞  - T_s )

                                                   h = 15000 W / (100 - 60 ) C = 375 KW/m^2K
