If cold outside air at 20 F is leaking into a 20-ft by 30-ft by 10-ft room where the heating system is trying to maintain a comfortable temperature of 72 F, then the same amount of air might be assumed to be leaking out of the room. If one were to estimate that this rate of leakage amounted to about 0.4 air changes per hour (see Problem 1-19), what load would this leakage place on the heating system, in Btu/hr? Assume that the air lost is at the assumed room comfort temperature and is replaced by the cold outside air. Assume an air density of 13.5 cubic feet per pound mass and

- You live in a remote cabin at ground level. You have a broken thermometer, but you know your barometer works. When you arrive at the cabin you knew the temperature was 10 C. When you arrived you measured the pressure to be 101 kPa at ground level, and 90.9 kPa at an altitude of 1km off the ground (both at 10 C). Today you measured the pressure to be 101 kPa at the ground, and 89.9 kPa at an altitude of 1km off the ground. What is the temperature today (it was the same at both altitudes)? 9.0 C 11.0 8.0 C 12.0 Carrow_forwardA cylindrical vessel with a diameter of 8 inches and 5 feet long contained acetylene at 300 psi gauge and 82°F. After some amount of acetylene was used, the pressure was reduced to 190 psi gauge and the temperature was 74°F. The gas constant of acetylene is 59.35 ft-lb:/lbm-°R. Determine the following: 1. What is the initial mass in Ibm of the acetylene inside the vessel? 2. What proportion in percentage of acetylene was used? 3. What volume in ft would the used acetylene occupy at 30 psig and 80°F?arrow_forward4. Oxygen supply for a lung related deficiency is supplied to patients from bottled oxygen in gaseous form. The oxygen bottles are considered empty when they are at 2 bar absolute (and at a room temperature of 20 °C) and are filled from a large source of gaseous oxygen at 210 bar absolute and 10 °C and the valve filling the cylinder is closed when the pressure in the cylinder reaches 200 bar absolute. If the heat transfer during the filling process is negligibly small and neglecting velocity and height contributions, calculate the final temperature of the oxygen in the cylinder at the moment of filling valve closure and the mass of oxygen filled into the cylinder. Take the internal volume of the cylinder to be 15 litre. If the cylinder eventually comes to thermal equilibrium with the surroundings at 20 °C what is the final pressure of the oxygen in the cylinder.arrow_forward
