a. Density
• is the measure of mass per unit volume of a substance.
b. Specific heat
• is the amount of heat that must be added or removed from one
pound of substance to change its temperature by one degree.
1-14. A boiler used to heat a school building is rated at 8 000 000 Btu/hr.
Determine its rating in:
a. MBH b. MBH c. kW
KENNETH JAVIER GC32 CENG329
Solution:
1
a. 8 000 000 Btu⁄hr (1000) = 8 000 MBH
1
b. 8 000 000 Btu⁄hr (1000000) = 8 MMBH
1W 1 kW
c. 8 000 000 Btu⁄hr (3.413Btu⁄hr) (1000 W) = 2343.98 kW
1-15. A furnace used to heat a home is rated at 30 kW. Determine its rating in:
a. Btu/hr b. MBH
Solution:
1000 W 3.413Btu⁄hr
a. 30 kW ( )( ) = 102 390 Btu⁄hr
1 kW 1W
1000 W 3.413Btu⁄hr 1
b. 30 kW ( )( ) (1000) = 102.39 MBH
1 kW 1W
Solution:
(𝟖𝟎℉−𝟑𝟐)
a. = 𝟐𝟔. 𝟕℃
𝟏.𝟖
b.
(𝟖𝟎℉−𝟑𝟐)
c. + 𝟐𝟕𝟑. 𝟏𝟓 = 𝟐𝟗𝟗. 𝟖𝟐 𝐊
𝟏.𝟖
Solution:
a. (𝟏. 𝟖 × 𝟐𝟐℃) + 𝟑𝟐 = 𝟕𝟏. 𝟔℉
b. [(𝟏. 𝟖 × 𝟐𝟐℃) + 𝟑𝟐] + 𝟒𝟓𝟗. 𝟔𝟕 = 𝟓𝟑𝟏. 𝟐𝟕 𝐑
c. 𝟐𝟐℃ + 𝟐𝟕𝟑. 𝟏𝟓 = 𝟐𝟗𝟓. 𝟏𝟓 𝐊
Solution:
Given: m = 10 pounds, T1 = 180°F, T2 = 212°F
Specific heat of water (c) = 1.00 Btu/lb . °F
Latent heat of vaporization (Hvap) = 970.3 Btu/lb
Two heats to consider: energy required to change in temperature from T1 to T2 and from latent
heat of vaporization
Formulas to be used:
➢ 𝑄 = 𝑐𝑚∆𝑇
➢ 𝑄 = 𝑚𝐻𝑣𝑎𝑝
Determine QT,
𝑄𝑡 = 𝑄1 + 𝑄2 = 320 𝐵𝑡𝑢 + 9703 𝐵𝑡𝑢 = 10 023 𝐵𝑡𝑢
