A home is heated with propane with a 100,000 BTU furnace size and 95% efficiency. The monthly heating degree days is 5000. Using the energy estimation discussed in this chapter, estimate the monthly and annual gas consumption to heat the building if the home is to be kept 68°F.
A refrigerator is to remove heat from the cooled space at a rate of 300.74 kJ/min to maintain its temperature at -8 C. If the air surrounding the refrigerator is at 28.91 C, determine the minimum power input (kW) required for this refrigerator.
For a building located in Madrid, Spain with annual heating degree-days (dd) of 4654, a heating load (heat loss) of 30,000 kj/h, and a design temperature difference of 30° C (20° C indoor), estimate the annual energy consumption. If the building is heated with a furnace with an efficiency of 92%, how muchgas is burned to keep the home at 20° C? State your assumptions.
Calculate the power radiated by a woodstove of dimensions 65 cm high by 55 cm deep by 85 cm wide with a surface temperature of 120°C. Assume that heat is radiated from all surfaces of the stove and that the stove has an emissivity of 1. Note that woodstoves are painted black because black surfaces have high absorptance, and objects with high absorptance also have high emissivity.
An ideal gas is compressed isothermally from 20 L to 10 L. During this process, 5 J of work is done to compress the gas. What is the change of thermal energy for this gas? A-5J - 10J ©5J D 0J
A stove element draws 15 A when connected to a 240-V line. How long does it take to consume 60 kJ .
The Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) of an air-conditioning unit is defined asthe ratio of the heat removed in Btu/h divided by the energy used in watts.The EEI (Edison Electric Institute) names an air-conditioning unit as anEnergy Star unit if it has an EER of 13 or greater. A 21⁄2-ton air-conditioningunit uses 2.41 kilowatts (2,410 watts) of energy. One ton is equivalent to12,000 Btu/h. Can this unit be termed an Energy Star unit?
Q1; If a system has 30J of heat added to it, and the total change in its internal energy is 10J, how much work does it do? a- 70 J b- 0.0 J c- 10J d- 20 J e- 10 J
Compare the masses and volumes of water, concrete, sand, and wood needed to store 106 Btu of heat if the operating temperatures are Tc = 85F and Th = 180F. In each case, calculate the edge length of a square storage unit with a height of 8 ft.
As a plant maintenance engineer, you are required to purchase a 3,000 L tank of liquid butane to heat a maintenance building during the winter. You are concerned about the tank rupture and the possibility of a vapour cloud explosion of all the butane. How far (in metres) must the tank be from the maintenance building to ensure that it will receive only partial demolition in the event of an explosion? The specific gravity of liquid butane is 0.6, and the energy of explosion for butane is 510 kcal/gm-mol. Assume the explosion efficiency is 10 % in this case.
