1. A 15-cm 20-cm circuit board houses on its surface 120 closely spaced logic chips, each dissipating 0.12 W. If the
heat transfer from the back surface of the board is negligible, determine (a) the amount of heat this circuit board
dissipates during a 10-hour period, in kWh, and (b) the heat flux on the surface of the circuit board, in W/m2.

2. Consider a house with a floor space of 200 m2 and an average height of 3 m at sea level, where the standard
atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa. Initially the house is at a uniform temperature of 10°C. Now the electric heater
is turned on, and the heater runs until the air temperature in the house rises to an average value of 22°C.
Determine how much heat is absorbed by the air assuming some air escapes through the cracks as the heated air in
the house expands at constant pressure. Also, determine the cost of this heat if the unit cost of electricity in that
area is $0.075/kWh.

3. A 4-m X 5-m X 7-m room is heated by the radiator of a steam heating system. The steam radiator transfers heat at
a rate of 10,000 kJ/h and a 100-W fan is used to distribute the warm air in the room. The heat losses from the
room are estimated to be at a rate of about 5000 kJ/h. If the initial temperature of the room air is 10°C, determine
how long it will take for the air temperature to rise to 20°C. Assume constant specific heats at room temperature.
