Radiative cooling can be used to freeze water in the desert at night. Consider a shallow pan of water is placed outdoors at night, well insulated from the ground below. The surface of the water has an emissivity of 0.8. The effective night sky temperature on this clear day is 260 K. Air blows very gently over the pan, creating a convective heat transfer coefficient of 10 W/m2 -K.
a. Write an expression for the rate of heat loss from the pan to the sky.
b. Write an expression for the rate of heat gain to the pan from the air.
c. What is the maximum air temperature for which the water will freeze? (Hint: Assume the water temperature is at freezing, and perform a steady state energy balance on the pan).
d. If the pan were not well insulated from the ground, would the maximum air temperature for freezing be higher or lower? Explain your answer (Hint: think about the energy balance on the pan of water).

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
