Thermal Storage Solar heating of a house is much more efficient if there is a way to store the thermal energy collected during the day to warm the house at night. Suppose one solar-heated home utilizes a concrete slab of area 14 m2 and 22 cm thick.
Part A: If the density of concrete is 2400 kg/m3, what is the mass of the slab?
Part B: The slab is exposed to sunlight and absorbs energy at a rate of 1.1 ×107J/h for 10 h. If it begins the day at 21 ∘C and has a specific heat of 750 J/(kg⋅K), what is its temperature at sunset?
Part C: Model the concrete slab as being surrounded on both sides (contact area 28 m2) with a 1.5-m-thick layer of air in contact with a surface that is 5.0 ∘C cooler than the concrete. At sunset, what is the rate at which the concrete loses thermal energy by conduction through the air layer?
Part D: Model the concrete slab as having a surface area of 24 m2 and surrounded by an environment 5.0 ∘C cooler than the concrete. If its emissivity is 0.92, what is the rate at which the concrete loses thermal energy by radiation at sunset?

Thermal Storage Solar heating of a house is much more efficient if there is a way to store the thermal energy collected during the day to warm the house at night. Suppose one solar-heated home utilizes a concrete slab of area 11 m2 and 26 cm thick. If the density of concrete is 2400 kg/m3, what is the mass of the slab? The slab is exposed to sunlight and absorbs energy at a rate of 1.2 ×107J/h for 10 h....

P2 (50 pts.) Assume the roof of a room in a typical house is 12 cm thick concrete slab with a thermal conductivity k = 1.50 W/m•°C. The roof of the room is 4 m wide and 4 m long. Assume convection heat transfer coefficients on the inner and outer surfaces of the roof are hi=6 and ho=10 W/m2°C, respectively. At noon, when the sun is "hotter" the solar irradiation is estimated to be color = 750 W/m- and the...

Animals in cold climates often depend on two layers of insulation: a layer of body fat (of thermal conductivity 0.200 W/(m⋅K) ) surrounded by a layer of air trapped inside fur or down. We can model a black bear as a sphere 1.50 m in diameter having a layer of fat 4.00×10−2 m thick, as shown in the figure.(Figure 1) In studies of bear hibernation, it was found that the outer surface layer of the fur is at TC =...

A concrete wall of a house is 45 cm thick and has a surface area 20m x 5 m. The inside temperature of the wall is 47 °C and the outside air temperature is 14 °C. Thermal conductivity of the concrete wall is 0.8 W/mK. Calculate the heat transfer rate through the wall by conduction and its thermal resistance.

To reduce building heating costs, modern building codes in many parts of the country require the use of double-pane windows (sometimes, called "double-glazed" or "thermopane" windows). Ivpically, a double-pane window consists of two panes of glass separated by a space that contains trapped stagnant air. In one design of a double-pane window, each glass layer is 0.7 cm thick, the stagnant air layer is 2 cm thick, and the area is 4 m2 In the living room of a large...
