A well-insulated 3-m 3 4-m 3 6-m room initially at 7°C is heated by the radiator of a steam- heating system. The radiator has a volume of 15 L and is filled with superheated vapor at 200 kPa and 200°C. At this moment both the inlet and the exit valves to the radiator are closed. A 120-W fan is used to distribute the air in the room. The pressure of the steam is observed to drop to 100 kPa after 45 min as a result of heat transfer to the room. Assuming constant specific heats for air at room temperature, determine the average temperature of air in 45 min. Assume the air pressure in the room remains constant at 100 kPa.

5. A well-insulated 3-m 3 4-m 3 6-m room initially at 7°C is heated by the radiator of a steam-
heating system. The radiator has a volume of 15 L and is filled with superheated vapor at 200
kPa and 200°C. At this moment both the inlet and the exit valves to the radiator are closed. A
120-W fan is used to distribute the air in the room. The pressure of the steam is observed to
drop to 100 kPa after 45 min as a result of heat transfer to the room. Assuming constant specific
heats for air at room temperature, determine the average temperature of air in 45 min. Assume
the air pressure in the room remains constant at 100 kPa.
