Chapter 5, Problem 599

(choose chapter or problem)

A 4-m 3 5-m 3 6-m room is to be heated by an electric resistance heater placed in a short duct in the room. Initially, the room is at 158C, and the local atmospheric pressure is 98 kPa. The room is losing heat steadily to the outside at a rate of 150 kJ/min. A 200-W fan circulates the air steadily through the duct and the electric heater at an average mass flow rate of 40 kg/min. The duct can be assumed to be adiabatic, and there is no air leaking in or out of the room. If it takes 20 min for the room air to reach an average temperature of 258C, find (a) the power rating of the electric heater and (b) the temperature rise that the air experiences each time it passes through the heater.
