Loughborough University Department of Civil and Building Engineering Building Services I Building Heat and Energy Tutorial Questions °C is to be converted to steam at 100.0 °C in 50.0 minutes. Calculate: 1. 15.0 ig of ice at 0. (a) the heat required to melt the ice (5025.0 kJ}; (@) the heat required to raise the water temperature from 0.0 °C vo 100.0 °C ¢ 0 83) {c) the heat required to vaporize the water (83,900.0 k3); (a) the sizeof heating element (15.1 EW) Ascume: Latent heat of fusion Specific hest capacity of water = 4.18 ki/kgk ‘Latent heat of vaporization 2260.0 K/h 2. Asingle plane glass window is 4.00 mm thick and 30.0 cm x 30.0 em. Ifthe conductivity of ‘he glass is 1.02 W/mK and the temperature difference across the glass is 15.0 K. caleulare 395.0 I /kg (a) the resistivity of the glass (0.98 m/W); (b) the resistance of the glass (0.0039 m*K/W); (6) the rate of heat loss through the glass (344.3 W). 43. The heat fow through a 10.0 m? single leaf wall is 400.0 W. The wall is 100.0 mm thick and is known to have surface resistance outside the wal of 0.08 m?K/W and inside the ‘wall of 0.35 m’K/W. If the temperature difference across the wall is 20.0 K, calealate: (2) the U value of the wall (2.0 W/ti?K}; (8) the thermal resistance of the wall (0.09 m°K/W); (@) the conductivity of the wall (1.11 W/m). 4, Tra cavity wall has the has the construction given in table 1, calculate: {) the resistance of the blockwork (0.45 m?K/W), glassibre (1.25 m?K/W} and the plasterboard (0.08 m?K/W)s (8) the total resistance of the wall (2.11 m°K/W); (@) the U value of the wall (0.47 W/mK).

A 10.0 m? wall has 1.5 m? of window. The U value of the block work is 0.5 W/m?K and the window 3.0 W/m?K. Caleslate: (a) the average U value of the wall (0.88 W/m?K); (b) the rate of heat loss through the wall when the temperature diference actos it is 18.0 K (157.5 W). 6. A small pavilion i 5.0 m long, 3.5 m wide and 2.5 m high. It has two windows 1.0 m x 0.7 m and # door 1.8 m x 08 m. The temperature inside the pavilion isto be maintained at 18.0 °C when the external temperature is 0.0 °C, ‘The air infltration rate is 1.5 air changes per hour. Given the U values in the table 2, calculate: (a) the rate of heat Joss through the windows (141.1 W), the door (47.9 W), the walls (1643.6 W), the roof (945.0 W) and the floor (815.0 W); (b) the rate of heat loss due to ventilation (389.8 W); (¢) the temperature in the pavilion (15.5 °C), ifthe only heater available has a 3.0 KW output.
