Max likes to drink tea. He uses his kettle to heat 1.6 liters of water from 18°C to 100°C every day. What does it cost him to heat the water per year (365 days) if he pays 29 cents per kWh of electricity. State the costs in euros to two decimal places. The material values of water averaged for the swept temperature range are: Cwater=4.18 kJ/(kg-K); pwater=983 kg/m3; Awater=0.654 W/(m2. K); nwater=467-10-6 kg/(m-s).

1.22 In order to prevent frostbite to skiers on chair lifts, the weather report at most ski areas gives both an air temperature and the wind-chill temperature. The air temperature is measured with a thermometer that is not affected by the wind. However, the rate of heat loss from the skier increases with wind velocity, and the wind-chill temperature is the temperature that would result in the same rate of heat loss in still air as occurs at the measured air temperature with the existing wind. Suppose that the inner temperature of a 3-mm-thick layer of skin with a thermal conductivity of 0.35 W/m K is and the air temperature is . Under calm ambient conditions the heat transfer coefficient at the outer skin surface is about (see Table 1.4), but in a 40-mph wind it increases to . (a) If frostbite occurs when the skin temperature drops to about , do you advise the skier to wear a face mask? (b) What is the skin temperature drop due to the wind?
A manufacturer in the United States wants to sell a refrigeration system to a customer in Germany. The standard measure of refrigeration capacity used in the United States is the ton (T); a 1 T capacity means that the unit is capable of making about 1 T of ice per day or has a heat removal rate of 12,00 Btu/h. The capacity of the American system is to be guaranteed at 3 T. What is this guarantee in SI units?
1.22 m 1. To avoid overheating, natural convection analysis is to be considered. If the minimum allowable heat transfer due to natural convection is 30 W, find the maximum angle at which the TV can hang off the wall (0 < 0 < 60). Some temperatures were collected; Back panel surface: 45 °C, ambient: 32 °C. A typical 55-inch TV screen measures (122 cm x 69 cm). Note: A typical screen uses a portion of the incoming energy to light up the LED panel, while the rest is dissipated as natural heat convection. 0.69 m
The rate of heat lost through insulation varies inversely as the thickness of the insulation. The rate of heat lost through a 3.5-inch thickness of insulation is 2200 Btu per hour. What is the rate of heat lost through a 5-inch thickness of the same insulation?

Determine heat added. Provide your answer in foot-pound-force. Answer in whole numbers; no commas, no decimal places, no units. (Helium: Cp = 1.24 Btu/lbm-°F; Cp/Cv = 1.66; R = 386 ft:lb/lb°R) A closed rigid container has a volume of 40 ft' and holds helium at 55 psia and 35'F. Heat is added until the temperature is 625 F. Determine the heat added and the final pressure. Your answer
