Growers use giants fans to prevent grapes from freezing
whenthe effective sky temperature is low. the grape, which may
beviewed as a thin skin of negligible thermal resistance enclosing
avolume of sugar water, is exposed to ambient air and is
irradiatedfrom the sky above and ground below. assume the grape to
be anisothermal sphere of 15-mm diameter, and assume uniform
blackbodyirradiation over its top and bottom hemispheres due to
emissionfrom the sky and the earth, respectively.
a) derive an expression for the rate of change of the
grapetemperature. express your result in terms of a
convectioncoefficient and appropriate temperatures and
radiativequantities.
b)under conditions for which t(sky) = 253k, t(infinite) =273k,
and the fan is off (v = 0), determine whether the grapes
willfreeze. to a good approximation, the skin emissivity is 1 and
thegrape thermophysical properties are those of sugarless
water. however, because of the sugar content, the grape freezes
at-5oc
c)with all conditions remaining the same, except that the
fansare now oerating with v = 1m/s, will the grape freeze?

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

To save energy, the air supply to a 2000 ft office has been shut off overnight and the room temperature has dropped to 40°f. in the morning, the thermostat is reset to 70°f and warm air at 120 f begins to flov in at 200ft'/min. the air is well mixed within the room, and an equal mass flow of air at room temperature (changing with time) is withdrawn through a return duct. the air pressure is nearly 1 atm everywhere. ignoring heat transfer with the surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects, estimate how long it takes for the room temperature to reach 70°f. plot the room temperature as a function of time.
