1. A 7 cm spherical ball whose surface is maintained at a temperature of 90°C is suspended in


the middle of a room at 25°C. if the convection heat transfer coefficient is 12 W/m2. °C and
the emissivity of the surface is 0.8, determine the total rate of heat transfer from the ball.

2. An electric motor draws a current of 10 A with voltage of 110 V. The output shaft develops a
torque of 8 N.m and rotational speed of 1200 rpm. For operation at steady state, determine:
a. The electric power required
b. The power developed by the output shaft
c. The average surface temperature. , if the heat transfer occurs by convection to the
surroundings at

3. A gas within piston-cylinder assembly undergoes a thermodynamic cycle consisting of three


processes in series:
Process 1-2: compression with
Process 2-3: constant volume cooling to
Process 3-1: constant pressure expansion with
For the cycle, . There are no changes in kinetic or potential energy.
a. Sketch the cycle on p-V diagram
b. Calculate the volume at state 1
c. Calculate the work and heat transfer for each process

4. The following table gives data, in Btu, for a system undergoing a power cycle consisting of
four processes in series. Determine:
a. The missing table entries
b. The thermal efficiency

Process ΔU ΔKE ΔPE ΔE Q W


1–2 950 50 0 1000
2–3 0 50 -450 450
3–4 -650 0 -600 0
4-1 200 -100 -50 0

5. A mini-refrigerator steadily receives a power input of 50 W while rejecting energy by heat


transfer to surroundings at a rate of 175 W. Determine the rate at which energy is removed
by heat transfer from the refrigerated space and the refrigerator’s coefficient of
performance.
6. A heat pump maintains a dwelling at 68°F. When operating steadily, the power input to the
heat pump is 5 hp, and the heat pump receives energy by heat transfer from 55°F well water
at a rate of 500 Btu/min.
a. Determine the coefficient of performance
b. Evaluating electricity at Rp 1.444,70/kWh, determine the cost of electricity during
the heating season when the heat pump operates for 2000 hours.
