Q1. You want to keep the indoor temperature of an office at 25oC. The outdoor temperature is 5oC. The heat transfer through the building’s exterior is 3 x 106 kJ. To achieve the desired indoor temperature, you are exploring three heat pumps operating between the office interior and: (i) the ground at 12oC; (ii) a pond at 10oC; and (iii) the air outside at 5oC.

For each case, what is the minimum theoretical net work input (in kJ) any heat pump would require?

You are the mayor of a major city, and you want to keep the streets as clean as possible. You send the city`s street sweepers to the more affluent neighborhoods, but you ignore the poorer neighborhood because the poor residents pay less in taxes than the right people do.

An ODE for Newton’s law of cooling, ??/?? + ?? = ??(?) relates indoor temperature changes u(t) to outdoor temperature changes modeled by the function ?(?) = ? + ? cos(??) + ? sin(??). k is a constant that measures how well a building is insulated and t is time in hours. Suppose your air-conditioner is broken. You want to find out how outdoor temperature effects the temperature in your house by doing the following: (a) Find a model for...

Your newly purchased house where you are aiming for an indoor temperature of 18.0°C is well insulated apart from a 5.0 cm thick 12m² wooden wall facing the garage. Typically, the garage maintains a temperature of at least 9.0°C even in winter. What power do you lose because of the wall? One winter evening, the garage door gets stuck in the upright position and you want to know what the indoor temperature will be when the coldest night is -15.0...

1a. The relative humdity outdoor is 70% and the outdoor temperature is 90 degree F what is the actual partial pressure of water vapor in the air 1b. Humidty ratio (w) is the ratio of the mass of the water (Mw) to the mass of dry air (Mw) note that two partial pressures sum to the total pressure (P =Pa + Pv) derive the equation w = 0.622Pv / (P-Pv). Use the ideal gas equation for mass 1c. Solve for...
