The air contained in a room loses heat to the surroundings at a rate of 50 kj/min while work is supplied to the room by computer, tv, and lights at a rate of 1.2 kw. what is the net amount of energy change of the air in the room during a 30-min period?

660KJ

Explanation:

Given

Let Q = Heat Loss from room = 50kj/min

Let W = Work Supplied to room = 1.2KW

1 kilowatt = 1 kilojoules per second

So, W = 1.2KJ/s

In heat and work (Sign Convention)

We know that

1. Heat takes positive sign when it is added to the system

2. Heat takes negative sign when it is removed from the system.

3. Work done is considered positive when work is done by the system

4. Work done is considered negative when work is done on the system.

From the above illustration, heat loss (Q) = -50KJ/Min

In 30 minutes time, Q = -50Kj/Min * 30 Min

Work done in 30 minutes = -1500 KJ

Also, work supplied = -1.2Kj/s

Work supplied to the system in 30 minutes = -1.2Kj/s * 30 minutes

W = -1.2 KJ/s * 30 * 60 seconds

W = -2160KJ

In thermodynamics (First Law)

Q = W + ΔU

-1500 = -2160 + ΔU

∆U = 2160 - 1500

∆U = 660KJ

answer:

science is the study of the nature and behavior of natural things and the knowledge that we obtain about them. a science is a particular branch of science such as physics, chemistry, or biology. physics is the best example of a science which has developed strong, abstract theories.

pseudoscience is a collection of beliefs or practices mistakenly regarded as being based on scientific method.
