Chapter 11 Problem 42

Question

The average thermal conductivity of the walls (including windows) and roof of a house in Figure P11.42 is 4.8 3 1024 kW/m ? C, and their average thickness is 21.0 cm. The house is heated with natural gas, with a heat of combustion (energy released per cubic meter of gas burned) of 9 300 kcal/m3. How many cubic meters of gas must be burned each day to maintain an inside temperature of 25.0C if the outside temperature is 0.0C? Disregard surface air layers, radiation, and energy loss by heat through the ground. 5.00 m 8.00 m 10.0 m 37.0_ Figure P11.42

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 11 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The average thermal conductivity of the walls (including windows) and roof of a house in Figure P11.42 is 4.8 3 1024 kW/m ? C, and their average thickness is 21.0 cm. The house is heated with natural gas, with a heat of combustion (energy released per cubic meter of gas burned) of 9 300 kcal/m3. How many cubic meters of gas must be burned each day to maintain an inside temperature of 25.0C if the outside temperature is 0.0C? Disregard surface air layers, radiation, and energy loss by heat through the ground. 5.00 m 8.00 m 10.0 m 37.0_ Figure P11.42
From the textbook chapter Multiple Choice Questions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
