A student lives in an apartment with a floor area of 60 m2 and ceiling height of 1.8 m. The apartment has a fresh (outdoor) air

exchange rate of 0.5/hr. The stove in the apartment heats by natural gas. The student cooks a meal using two gas burners that each emit carbon monoxide (CO) at a rate of 100 mg/hr. The outdoor CO concentration can be assumed to be negligible (0 ppm). The initial (time = 0) indoor CO concentration can be assumed to be 0 ppm (except for problem 4). Carbon monoxide can be considered as an inert gas, i.e., it does not stick to or react with any surfaces or other gases in air.
1. Assume that the student cooks for a long enough period of time to achieve a steady-state CO concentration in the apartment. What is that concentration in ppb?
2. Assume that the student cooks for only 45 minutes and turns off both burners at that time. What is the CO concentration in ppb at the end of 45 minutes?
3. Repeat problem 2 for air exchange rates that vary from 0.1 to 1/hr and plot the concentration at 45 minutes (in ppb) versus air exchange rate.
4. Assume that for the conditions of problem 2, the student waits 25 minutes after turning the burners off and then starts cooking again with two burners on. How long will it take to reach a concentration that is 95% of steady-state under this condition?
Note that you can actually address this question with an eloquent mathematical derivation (preferred) or simply by crunching the concentration profile in a spreadsheet.
What is the concentration at 95% of steady-state?
Compare your result with the time that would be required to reach 95% of steady-state had the initial indoor CO concentration been 0 ppm.

1 A long, uninsulated steam line with a diameter of 100 mm and a surface emissivity of 0.8 transports steam at 150°C and is expo
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a) q' = 351.22 W/m

b) q'_total = 1845.56 W / m

c) q'_loss = 254.12 W/m

Explanation:

Given:-

- The diameter of the steam line, d = 100 mm

- The surface emissivity of steam line, ε = 0.8

- The temperature of the steam, Th = 150°C

- The ambient air temperature, T∞ = 20°C

Find:-

(a) Calculate the rate of heat loss per unit length for a calm day.

Solution:-

- Assuming a calm day the heat loss per unit length from the steam line ( q ' ) is only due to the net radiation of the heat from the steam line to the surroundings.

- We will assume that the thickness "t" of the pipe is significantly small and temperature gradients in the wall thickness are negligible. Hence, the temperature of the outside surface Ts = Th = 150°C.

- The net heat loss per unit length due to radiation is given by:

                     q' = ε*σ*( π*d )* [ Ts^4 - T∞^4 ]      

Where,

          σ: the stefan boltzmann constant = 5.6703 10-8 (W/m2K4)

          Ts: The absolute pipe surface temperature = 150 + 273 = 423 K

          T∞:The absolute ambient air temperature = 20 + 273 = 293 K

Therefore,

                    q' = 0.8*(5.6703 10-8)*( π*0.1 )* [ 423^4 - 293^4 ]    

                    q' = (1.4251*10^-8)* [ 24645536240 ]    

                    q' = 351.22 W / m   ... Answer

Find:-

(b) Calculate the rate of heat loss on a breezy day when the wind speed is 8 m/s.

Solution:-

- We have an added heat loss due to the convection current of air with free stream velocity of U∞ = 8 m/s.

- We will first evaluate the following properties of air at T∞ = 20°C = 293 K

                  Kinematic viscosity ( v ) = 1.5111*10^-5 m^2/s

                  Thermal conductivity ( k ) = 0.025596

                  Prandtl number ( Pr ) = 0.71559

- Determine the flow conditions by evaluating the Reynold's number:

                 Re = U∞*d / v

                      = ( 8 ) * ( 0.1 ) / ( 1.5111*10^-5 )

                      = 52941.56574   ... ( Turbulent conditions )

- We will use Churchill - Bernstein equation to determine the surface averaged Nusselt number ( Nu_D ):

           Nu_D = 0.3 + \frac{0.62*Re_D^\frac{1}{2}*Pr^\frac{1}{3}  }{[ 1 + (\frac{0.4}{Pr})^\frac{2}{3} ]^\frac{1}{4}  }*[ 1 + (\frac{Re_D}{282,000})^\frac{5}{8} ]^\frac{4}{5}    \\\\Nu_D = 0.3 + \frac{0.62*(52941.56574)^\frac{1}{2}*(0.71559)^\frac{1}{3}  }{[ 1 + (\frac{0.4}{0.71559})^\frac{2}{3} ]^\frac{1}{4}  }*[ 1 + (\frac{52941.56574}{282,000})^\frac{5}{8} ]^\frac{4}{5}  \\\\

           Nu_D = 0.3 + \frac{127.59828 }{ 1.13824  }*1.27251  = 142.95013

- The averaged heat transfer coefficient ( h ) for the flow of air would be:

            h = Nu_D*\frac{k}{d} \\\\h = 143*\frac{0.025596}{0.1} \\\\h = 36.58951 W/m^2K

- The heat loss per unit length due to convection heat transfer is given by:

           q'_convec = h*( π*d )* [ Ts - T∞ ]

           q'_convec = 36.58951*( π*0.1 )* [ 150 - 20 ]

           q'_convec = 11.49493* 130

           q'_convec = 1494.3409 W / m

- The total heat loss per unit length ( q'_total ) owes to both radiation heat loss calculated in part a and convection heat loss ( q_convec ):

           q'_total = q_a + q_convec

           q'_total = 351.22 + 1494.34009

           q'_total = 1845.56 W / m  ... Answer

Find:-

For the conditions of part (a), calculate the rate of heat loss with a 20-mm-thick layer of insulation (k = 0.08 W/m ⋅ K)

Solution:-

- To reduce the heat loss from steam line an insulation is wrapped around the line which contains a proportion of lost heat within.

- A material with thermal conductivity ( km = 0.08 W/m.K of thickness t = 20 mm ) was wrapped along the steam line.

- The heat loss through the lamination would be due to conduction " q'_t " and radiation " q_rad":

             q'_t = 2*\pi*k \frac{T_h - T_o}{Ln ( \frac{r_2}{r_1} )}  

             q' = ε*σ*( π*( d + 2t) )* [ Ts^4 - T∞^4 ]

             

Where,

             T_o = T∞ = 20°C

            T_s = Film temperature = ( Th + T∞ ) / 2 = ( 150 + 20 ) / 2 = 85°C

             r_2 = d/2 + t = 0.1 / 2 + 0.02 = 0.07 m

             r_1 = d/2 = 0.1 / 2 = 0.05 m

- The heat loss per unit length would be:

            q'_loss = q'_rad - q'_cond

- Compute the individual heat losses:

            q'_t = 2*\pi*0.08 \frac{150 - 85}{Ln ( \frac{0.07}{0.05} )}\\\\q'_t = 0.50265* \frac{65}{0.33647}\\\\q'_t = 97.10 W/m

Therefore,

             q'_loss = 351.22 - 97.10

            q'_loss = 254.12 W / m   .... Answer

- If the wind speed is appreciable the heat loss ( q'_loss ) would increase and the insulation would become ineffective.

An ideal Otto cycle has a compression ratio of 8. At the beginning of the compression process, air is at 95 kPa and 278C, and 75
Inessa [10]

Answer:

(a). The value of temperature at the end of heat addition process            T_{3} = 2042.56 K

(b). The value of pressure at the end of heat addition process                    P_{3} = 1555.46 k pa

(c). The thermal efficiency of an Otto cycle   E_{otto} = 0.4478

(d). The value of mean effective pressure of the cycle P_{m} = 1506.41 \frac{k pa}{kg}

Explanation:

Compression ratio r_{p} = 8

Initial pressure P_{1} = 95 k pa

Initial temperature T_{1} = 278 °c = 551 K

Final pressure P_{2} = 8 × P_{1} = 8 × 95 = 760 k pa

Final temperature T_{2} = T_{1} × r_{p} ^{\frac{\gamma - 1}{\gamma} }

Final temperature T_{2} = 551 × 8 ^{\frac{1.4 - 1}{1.4} }

Final temperature T_{2} = 998 K

Heat transferred at constant volume Q = 750 \frac{KJ}{kg}

(a). We know that Heat transferred at constant volume Q_{S} = m C_{v} ( T_{3} - T_{2}  )

⇒ 1 × 0.718 × ( T_{3} - 998 ) = 750

⇒ T_{3} = 2042.56 K

This is the value of temperature at the end of heat addition process.

Since heat addition is constant volume process. so for that process pressure is directly proportional to the temperature.

⇒ P ∝ T

⇒ \frac{P_{3} }{P_{2} } = \frac{T_{3} }{T_{2} }

⇒ P_{3} = \frac{2042.56}{998} × 760

⇒ P_{3} = 1555.46 k pa

This is the value of pressure at the end of heat addition process.

(b). Heat rejected from the cycle Q_{R} = m C_{v} ( T_{4} - T_{1}  )

For the compression and expansion process,

⇒ \frac{T_{3} }{T_{2} } = \frac{T_{4} }{T_{1} }

⇒ \frac{2042.56}{998} = \frac{T_{4} }{551}

⇒ T_{4} = 1127.7 K

Heat rejected Q_{R} = 1 × 0.718 × ( 1127.7 - 551)

⇒ Q_{R} = 414.07 \frac{KJ}{kg}

Net heat interaction from the cycle Q_{net} = Q_{S} - Q_{R}

Put the values of Q_{S} & Q_{R}  we get,

⇒ Q_{net} = 750 - 414.07

⇒ Q_{net} = 335.93 \frac{KJ}{kg}

We know that for a cyclic process net heat interaction is equal to net work transfer.

⇒ Q_{net} = W_{net}

⇒ W_{net} = 335.93 \frac{KJ}{kg}

This is the net work output from the cycle.

(c). Thermal efficiency of an Otto cycle is given by

E_{otto} = 1- \frac{T_{1} }{T_{2} }

Put the values of T_{1} & T_{2} in the above formula we get,

E_{otto} = 1- \frac{551 }{998 }

⇒ E_{otto} = 0.4478

This is the thermal efficiency of an Otto cycle.

(d). Mean effective pressure P_{m} :-

We know that mean effective pressure of  the Otto cycle is  given by

P_{m} = \frac{W_{net} }{V_{s} } ---------- (1)

where V_{s} is the swept volume.

V_{s} = V_{1}  - V_{2} ---------- ( 2 )

From ideal gas equation P_{1} V_{1} = m × R × T_{1}

Put all the values in above formula we get,

⇒ 95 × V_{1} = 1 × 0.287 × 551

⇒ V_{1} = 0.6 m^{3}

From the same ideal gas equation

P_{2} V_{2} = m × R × T_{2}

⇒ 760 × V_{2} = 1 × 0.287 × 998

⇒ V_{2} = 0.377 m^{3}

Thus swept volume V_{s} = 0.6 - 0.377

⇒ V_{s} = 0.223 m^{3}

Thus from equation 1 the mean effective pressure

⇒ P_{m} = \frac{335.93}{0.223}

⇒ P_{m} = 1506.41 \frac{k pa}{kg}

This is the value of mean effective pressure of the cycle.
