Concept explainers

Mechanisms of heat transfer

Heat transfer is an essential discipline in thermal engineering that deals with the transfer, conversion, usability, and creation of heat or thermal energy. Transfer of heat occurs through various mechanisms like conduction, convection, radiation, and change of phases. All these mechanisms have distinct characteristics, but these mechanisms can simultaneously occur in an identical system.

Subject : Thermofluid A well-sealed house left alone during the midday heat was found to be at 35oC. He turns on the air conditioner, which cools the entire house to 24oC in 30 min. If the COP of the air-conditioning system is 2.6, determine the power drawn by the air conditioner. An estimated of 750 kg of air is within the house for which cv = 0.72 kJ/kg·oC and cp = 1.0 kJ/kg·oC.

3.) When a gas surrounded by air is compressed or expands adiabatically, its temperature rises or decreased even though there is no heat input or dissipated to the gas. Where does the energy come from to raise or lower the temperature? 4.) Why must a room air conditioner be placed in a window rather than just set on the floor and plugged in? Why can a refrigerator be set on the floor and plugged in?
Pls. Answer thank you! An air-conditioning system is used to maintain a house at 65°F when the temperature outside is 85°F. The house is gaining heat through the walls and windows at a rate of 1250 Btu/min, and the heat generation rate within the house from people, lights, and appliances amounts to 350 Btu/min. Determine the minimum power input required for this air-conditioning system
A single-effect falling-film evaporator is used to concentrate orange juice from 14% to 45% solids. The evaporator utilizes a mechanical refrigeration cycle using ammonia as a refrigerant for heating and for condensing the vapors. The refrige-ration cycle is operated at a high-side pressure of 200 psia (1.379 MPa) and a low-side pressure of 50 psia (344.7 kPa). The evaporator is operated at a vapor temperature of 90oF (32.2oC). Feed enters at 70oF (21.1oC). The ratio of insoluble to soluble solids in the juice is 0.09, and the soluble solids consist of glucose and sucrose in 70:30 ratio. Consider the ΔT as the log mean ΔT between the liquid refrigerant temperature and the feed temperature at one point and the hot refri-gerant gas temperature and the concentrated liquid boiling temperature at the other point. The evaporator has a heat transfer surface area of 100 ft2 (9.29 m2), and an overall heat transfer coefficient of 300 BTU (h.ft2.oF) or 1073 W/(m2.K) may be expected. Calculate:…
