Chapter 1 Tuts
1.16 No hint required
1.21 Vol replacement = 0.7x24 V̇ = VxA = (0.7x24) x (150 x 3)
Calculate ṁ = PV̇ /RT ( use T of air entering) = 8485 kg/day
Calculate Q̇ loss = 145260 kJ/day then divide by 3600 to find kWh
1.31 cp from table A-15 = 1.007
a) No hint required
b) Calculate ρ, then ṁ, then from Q̇ = ṁcpΔT fin T2
1.53 use eqn 1.21 simplified to Q̇ =kA(T1-T2)/L to find Q̇ = 4368W
1.56 As per eg 1-6
1.62 Window glass thickness is not given so we assume it is negligible and ignore
Using the average temp of air in the gap (12oC) we find k = 0.02454 W/m0C from table A-15
1.70 No hint required
1.78 Q̇ = Power = VI, Calculate surface area of wire = 0.01319 m2
1.81 Note question gives ε = 0,5 whereas in practice and in table 1-6 a value of 0.95 is more appropriate. Using
0.5 will give you the answer as per the text
1.98 Q̇ = Q̇ conv + Q̇ rad = 800w
Add the known values to Q̇ conv and Q̇ rad eqns and you get 800 = 0.7(T -293) + 0.06803x10-8(T4-2934)
You can then solve using Matlab or similar eqn solver. Alternatively use trial and error approach substituting
values for T to find T = 874K
1.99 a) Q̇ = Q̇ conv + Q̇ rad; so calculate Q̇ conv = 21.488W and Q̇ rad = 1614W
b) Q = Q̇ Δt where t (24 x 3600) = 1996000kJ
The question states water requires 333.7kj/kg for fusion (ie once water reaches 0oC a further 333.7kj/kg is
required to be removed turn it to ice at 0oC) Therefore if 1996000kJ is divided by hif we will find out how
much ice is melted
1.123 Q loss by room = Q gained from water
10 000kj/h x 24 = mcΔT
1.127 Use Q̇ conduction eqn and rearrange to find ΔT
1.129 Use Q̇ Convection eqn. For a) and b) use the relevant coefficient. For c) the wind chill equivalent is calculated
by using Q̇ Convection = 672 W (the heat loss in the wind) and the coefficient of 15 W/m2.K (the no wind
condition) thus when you solve for T you get that in the wind it FEELS like the temperature is 6 degrees
whilst a thermometer would actually show 20 degrees
1.130 Q̇ conv = Ẇ (1 – η) = 32.5 kW ie 65% of of the 50kW is lost through convection
Now use the Q̇ conv equation to find T
1.136 Use Q̇ rad eqn
