The roof of a house consists of a 15-cm-thick concrete slab (k =2 W/mK) that is 15 m wide and 20 m long. The convection heat transfer coefficient on the inner surface of the roof is 5 W/m2K. On a clear winter night, the ambient air is reported to be at 10oC, while the night sky temperature is 100 K. The house and the interior surfaces of the wall are maintained at a constant temperature of 20oC. The emissivity of both surfaces of the concrete roof is 0.9. Considering both radiation and convection heat transfer, determine the rate of heat transfer through the roof when wind at 60 km/h is blowing over the roof. If the house is heated by a furnace burning natural gas with an efficiency of 85 percent, and the price of natural gas is $1.20/therm, determine the money lost through the roof that night during a 14-h period.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
