A student living in a 4 m x 6 m x 6 m dormitory room turns on her 150 watts fan


before she leaves the room on a summer day, hoping that the room will be cooler when
she comes back in the evening. Assuming all the doors and windows are tightly closed
and disregarding any heat transfer through the walls and the windows, determine the
temperature (°F) in the room when she comes back 10 hours later. Use specific heat
values at room temperature, and assume the room to be at 100 kPa and 15°C in the
morning when she leaves. (136.461)

2. A steam condenser receives 10 kg/s of steam with an enthalpy of 2770 kJ/kg. Steam
condenses and leaves with an enthalpy of 160 kJ/kg. Cooling water passes through the
condenser with temperature increases from 13⁰C to 24⁰C. Calculate the water flow rate
in kg/s. (566.69)

3. An insulated steam pipe located where the ambient temperature is 32⁰C, has an
inside diameter of 50 mm with 10 mm thick wall. The outside diameter of the corrugated
asbestos insulation is 125 mm and the surface coefficient of still air, h o = 12 W/m2-K.
Inside the pipe is steam having a temperature of 150⁰C with film coefficient hi = 6000
W/m2-K. Thermal conductivity of pipe and asbestos insulation are 45 and 0.12 W/m-K
respectively. Determine the heat loss per unit length of pipe. (120 W/m)

4. A pipe with an outside diameter of 2.5 in. is insulated with 2 in. layer of asbestos (k =
0.396 Btu-in/hr-ft2-⁰F), followed by a layer of cork 1.5 inches thick (k = 0.30 Btu-in/hr-ft 2-
⁰F). If the temperature of the outer surface of the cork is 90⁰F, calculate the heat loss
per 100 ft of insulated pipe. (2847.42 Btu/hr)

5. Steam, initially saturated at 20.5 bar, passes through a 10.10 cm standard steel pipe
for a total distance of 152 meters. The steam line is insulated with 5.08 cm thickness of
85% magnesia. For an ambient temperature of 22°C, neglecting steam surface
coefficient, what is the quality of the steam which arises at its destination if the mass
flow rate is 0.125 kg steam per second?
Note: k for 85% magnesia is 0.069W/m-K and h o for still air is 9.36 W/m2-K (93%)
