It is commonly recommended that hot foods be cooled first to room temperature by simply waiting a while before they are put into the refrigerator to save energy. despite this commonsense recommendation, a person keeps cooking a large pan of stew three times a week and putting the pan into the refrigerator while it is still hot, thinking that the money saved is probably too little. but he says he can be convinced if you can show that the money saved is significant. the average mass of the pan and its contents is 5 kg. the average temperature of the kitchen is 23°c, and the average temperature of the food is 95°c when it is taken off the stove. the refrigerated space is maintained at 3°c, and the average specific heat of the food and the pan can be taken to be 3.9 kj/kg·°c. if the refrigerator has a coefficient of performance of 1.5 and the cost of electricity is $0.145/kwh, determine how much this person will save a year by waiting for the food to cool to room temperature before putting it into the refrigerator.

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.
