Question: Problem # 2 During an industrial process, a container with 1 , 0 0 0 k g of liquid water at a temperature of 5

Problem # 2
During an industrial process, a container with 1,000kg of liquid water at a temperature of
50C is stored in a well-insulated and sealed room with dimensions of 654m for later use.
The air in this room is initially at 15C and 95kPa pressure. Assuming that the specific heats
of water and air are constant and equal to the specific heats at room temperature:
(a) What will be the equilibrium temperature of the enclosure?
(b) If an operator accidentally leaves the door partially open and upon returning 45
minutes later finds that the temperature is 32C, what was the rate of heat loss
through the door during that time interval?
Problem # 3
During milk production, it is heated from 4C to 93C in a heat exchanger. To perform this
task, steam at 150C is used, entering the exchanger at 150kPa and exiting as saturated
liquid at the same pressure. Assume that the exchanger loses heat to the surroundings at a
constant rate of 3kW. For a milk flow of 2000kgh, determine:
(a) The mass flow rate of steam required (in kgh)
(b) The volumetric flow rate of liquid water at the exit of the exchanger (in m3s)
(c)The amount of heat gained by the milk.
