The roof of a house consists of a 22-cm-thick concrete slab (k = 2 W/m•K) that is 15 m wide and 20 m long. The emissivity of the outer surface of the iroof is 0.9, and the convection heat transfer coefficient on that surface is estimated to be 15 W/m2•K The inner surface of the roof is maintained at 15°C. On a clear winter night, the ambient air is reported to be at 10°C while the night sky temperature for radiation heat transfer is 255 K. Considering both radiation and convection heat transfer, determine the outer surface temperature and the rate of heat transfer through the roof. if the house is heated by a furnace burning natural gas with an efficiency of 85 percent, and the unit cost of natural gas is 51.20/therm (1 therm = 105.500 U of energy content), determine the money lost through the roof that night during a 14-hour 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?
