    The document discusses heat transfer and the conservation of energy. It provides calculations to determine the energy flux (Q) required to heat air in a 15 minute period. The energy flux is calculated to be 3.67 kW. The first law of thermodynamics for an open system is applied. The calculations show that the rate of heat transfer (Q) minus the rate of work (W) equals 3.67 kW. Subtracting the work of -0.2 kW yields a total heat transfer of 3.47 kW.

    Chapter Ill - CONSERVATION OF MASS AND ENERGY

    To achieve the amount of heat entering the air in 15 minutes requires an


    energy flux of:

    Q = 33ookJ = 3 67 kW
    (15min)(60 s/min) ·

    The reason energy flux is used is because the fan provides some frictional
    heating to the air. The first law for the heater, an open system, is ( applying
    assumption 3):

    Q + m(h ~e~1 = w + m(h ~;,e) 2

    O+ m(h1) = w + m(h2)

    Also,

    Q - W = 3.67 kW

    Q - ( -0.2 kW) = 3.67 kW

    Q = 3.47 kW

    Comments: 1) In the problem we do not know the temperature of the air leaving the
    heater; however, it is not at 25 C. The problem requires that we
    convert the rate of heat and work transfer into a total quantity over a
    given time period.
