A house is maintained at 1 atm and 24°C. Outdoor air at 5.5°C infiltrates into the house through the cracks and warm air inside
the house is forced to leave the house at a rate of 90 m3 /hr. The gas constant of air is R = 0.287 kPa·m3 /kg·K. The constant pressure specific heat of air at room temperature is cp = 1.005 kJ/kg:°C. a. Create a schematic representation of the system, indicating all the mass and energy interactions across the boundary.
b. Determine the mass flow rate of the warm air exiting the house (in kg/s).
c. Determine the mass flow rate of the cold air entering the house (in kg/s).
d. Determine the rate of net energy loss of the house due to mass transfer (in kW).
e. List the assumptions and approximations that were needed to solve this problem.
The main difference is the source of the sediment that the rock is formed from. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed mostly from silicate sediment derived by the breakdown of pre-existing rocks. Bioclastic rocks are formed by the accumulation of fragmented organic remains (such as shell-sand) - i.e. the sediment is of biological rather than non-biological origin.
