On a warm summer day, you decide to leave a fan running in your room. The room is 12 ft x 15 ft x 8 ft. The room is full of dry air. When you leave the room, the air temperature is 75oF. The fan has a 0.10 hp motor. Assuming that the air pressure stays constant at 14.7 psia, and that the room is perfectly insulated, determine the air temperature in the room when you return in 8 hours.

Given: Air; L = 12 ft; W = 15 ft; H = 8 ft; T1 = 75oF = 535 R; W?=?0.1 hp=?254.5 Btu/hr; P = 14.7 psia; t = 8 hours Assume: Q = 0 (insulated); ?KE = ?PE = 0 Air behaves as an ideal gas with constant specific heats: cv = 0.172 Btu/lbm-R R = 53.33 ft-lbf/lbm-R P = constant What will be an ideal response?
