6-90 A room is to be heated by an electric resistance heater placed in a duct in the room. The power rating of the electric
heater and the temperature rise of air as it passes through the heater are to be determined.
Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 Air is an ideal gas with constant specific heats at room temperature. 3
Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible. 4 The heating duct is adiabatic, and thus heat transfer through it is
negligible. 5 No air leaks in and out of the room.
Properties The gas constant of air is 0.287 kPa.m3/kg.K (Table A-1). The specific heats of air at room temperature are cp =
1.005 and c

We first take the entire room as our system, which is a closed system
since no mass leaks in or out. The power rating of the electric heater is
determined by applying the conservation of energy relation to this
