Under conditions for which the same roojm temperature is mainteined bt a heating or cooling system, it is not uncommon for a per

son to feel chilled in the winter but comfortable in the summer. Provide a plausible explanation for this situation (with supporting calculations) y by considering a room whose air temperature is maintained at 20 Dagree C throughout the year, while the walls of the room are nominally at 27 Dagree C and 14 Dagree C in the summer and winter, respectively. The exposed surface of a person in the room may be assumed to be at a temperature of 32 Dagree C throughout the year and to have an emissivity of 0.90. The coefficient associated with heat transfer by natural convection between the person and the room air is approximately 2 W/m2 Middot K.

Answer:

Net heat transfers: during summer = 52.253 W/m^2 during winter = 119.375 w/m^2

Explanation:

Given data :

Room temperature throughout the year = 20⁰c = 293 k

Room temperature during summer = 27⁰c = 300 k

Room temperature during winter = 14⁰c = 287 k

surface temperature of a person throughout the year = 32⁰c = 305 k

coefficient of heat transfer by natural convection (h)= 2 w /m^2 k

emissivity = 0.9

An explanation to the condition of feeling chilled during the winter and comfortable during summer can be explained with the calculation below

The heat transfer from the surface body of a person the the room is carried out by convection and this can be calculated as

q = hΔt = 2 * ( 305 - 293) = 2 * 12 = 24 w /m^2

also calculate heat transfer through radiation using this formula

$q_{rad} =$ εσ [ (Temperature of body)^4- (temperature of room at each season)^4 ]

ε = 0.90,(emissivity) σ = 5.67 *10^-8 w/^2 . k ( Boltzmann's constant)

during summer :

$q_{rad}$ = (0.90)*(5.67*10^-8)* ( 305^4 - 300^4 ) = 28.253 W/m^2

therefore the net heat transfer during the summer = 24 w/m^3 + 28.253 W/m^3 = 52.253 W/m^2

During winter :

$q_{rad}$ = (0.90)*(5.67*10^-8) * ( 305^4 - 287^4 ) = 95.375 W/m^3

therefore the net heat transfer during the winter

= 24 w/m^3 + 95.375w/m^3 = 119.375 w/m^2

Hello!

To solve this problem you must follow the following steps, which are fully registered in the attached image.

1. Draw the complete outline of the problem.

2. Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)

through prior knowledge of two other properties.

3. Use temodynamic tables to find the density of water in state 1, by means of temperature and quality, with this value and volume we can find the mass.

3. Use thermodynamic tables to find the internal energy in state 1 and two using temperature and quality.

4. uses the first law of thermodynamics that states that the energy in a system is always conserved, replaces the previously found values and finds the work done.

5. draw the pV diagram using the 300F isothermal line

Carbon dioxide at 20°C flows in a pipe at a rate of 0.005 kg/s. Determine the minimum diameter required if the flow is laminar (

Vesna [10]

Answer:

the required diameter is 0.344 m

Explanation:

given data:

flow is laminar

flow of carbon dioxide Q = 0.005 Kg/s

for flow to be laminar, Reynold's number must be less than 2300 for pipe flow and it is given as

$\frac{\rho VD}{\mu }$

arrange above equation for diameter

\frac{\rho Q D}{\mu A }<2300

dynamic density of carbon dioxide = 1.47× $10^{-5}$ Pa sec

density of carbon dioxide is 1.83 kg/m³

$\frac{1.83\times 0.0056\times D}{1.47\times 10^{-5}\times \frac{\pi}{4} \times D^{2} }$

$\frac{1.83\times 0.0056}{1.47\times 10^{-5}\times \frac{\pi}{4} \times 2300}= D$

D = 0.344 m

A long, circular aluminum rod is attached at one end to a heated wall and transfers heat by convection to a cold fluid.

Trava [24]

Answer:

a. Heat removal rate will increase

b. Heat removal rate will decrease

Explanation:

Given that

One end of rod is connected to the furnace and rod is long.So this rod can be treated as infinite long fin.

We know that heat transfer in fin given as follows

$Q_{fin}=\sqrt{hPKA}\ \Delta T$

We know that area

$A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2$

Now when diameter will triples then :

$A_f=\dfrac{\pi}{4}{\left (3d \right )}^2$

$A_f=9A$

$Q'_{fin}=\sqrt{9hPKA}\ \Delta T$

$Q'_{fin}=3\sqrt{hPKA}\ \Delta T$

$Q'_{fin}=3Q$

So the new heat transfer will increase by 3 times.

Now when copper rod will replace by aluminium rod :

As we know that thermal conductivity(K) of Aluminium is low as compare to Copper .It means that heat transfer will decreases.
