1.29 Under conditions for which the same room temperatureis maintained by a heating or cooling system, it is notuncommon for a person to feel chilled in the winter butcomfortable in the summer. Provide a plausible expla-nation for this situation (with supporting calculations)by considering a room whose air temperature is main-tained at 20°C throughout the year, while the walls ofthe room are nominally at 27°C and 14°C in the sum-mer and winter, respectively. The exposed surface of aperson in the room may be assumed to be at a tempera-ture of 32°C throughout the year and to have an emis-sivity of 0.90. The coefficient associated with heattransfer by natural convection between the person andthe room air is approximately 2 W/m².K.

W m-°C. 1.)A 2mx2m aluminum sheet (240 is 5mm thick and used to separate two types of gas (1.1) and (55) in an experimental chamber. The 1st type of gas is maintained at 20℃ while the 2nd gas is at -20C. Solve for the rate of heat transfer in kW.
A vertical cylinder contains v moles of an ideal gas and is closed off by a piston of mass and area A. The acceleration due to gravity is g. The molar specific heat cy (at constant volume) of the gas is a constant independent of temperature. The heat capacities of the piston und cylinder are negligibly small and any fric- tional forees between the piston and the cylinder walls can be neglected. The whole system is thermaly insulated. Initially, the piston is clamped in position so that the gas has a volume Ve and a tomperature Tn. The pıston is now released and, after some nscillations, comes to rest in a final equilibrium situation corresponding to a larger volumc of the gas. (@) Does the temperature of the gas increase, decrease, or remain the same? (b) Does the entropy of the gas increase, decrease, or remain the same?

solve step by step and correctly. A family enters a winter vacation cabin has been unheated for such a long time the interior temperature is the same as the outside temperature (00C). The cabin consists of a single room of floor area 4m by 4m and height 3m. The room contains one 2kW electric heater. Assuming that the room is perfectly airtight and that all the heat from the electric heater is absorbed by the air, none escaping through the walls or being absorbed by the furnishing, how long after the heater is turned on will the temperature reach the comfort level of 240C.
