1. A person is standing in a room maintained at 20 degrees of C at all times. The inner surfaces of the walls, floors, and the ceiling of the house are observed to be at an average temperature of 10 degrees C in winter and 25 degrees C in summer. Determine the rate of radiation heat transfer between this person and the surrounding surfaces if the exposed surface area and the average outer surface temperature of the person are 1.5 m^2 and 29 degrees C respectfully. The emissivity of human skin at these wavelengths/temperatures is 0.95. Now, If the person above were in a breezy room, how much additional energy would be lost via convection? The convection heat transfer coefficient is 6 W/m^2 K? (b) What percentage of the total is this? (Calculate this for summer and for winter.)

A room in the summer is to be maintained at 20°C, 50% RH when the outside conditions are 35°C, 80% saturation. The sensible and latent heat gains are 5.5 kW and 1.4 kW respectively. The conditioned air is supplied through ducks from a central station consisting of a cooler battery, a reheat battery, and a fan. Fresh air is supplied to a mixing unit where it mixes with a certain percentage of air recirculated from the room, the remainder of...

You are standing on a slope of 20 degrees to the horizontal and are going to throw a ball at vi=20 m/s up the incline. If you throw the ball at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the horizontal at what distance up the incline from your feet does it land? Assume the ball leaves your hand directly overhead, h=2.0 m above the slope. I know the horizontal velocity = 14.14 m/s and the vertical velocity also =...

A person wants to catch the bus. Standing on the side of the street, the person sees the bus, 150 meters to the left appraoching at 24.6 m/s. The bus stop is located 50 meters to the right. Already, the bus is slowing-down at 1.45 m/s^2 so the person immediately begins jogging towards the bus stop at a constant 3.12 m/s. (a) Which one gets to the stop first, (b) how long must it wait for the other, and (c)...
