    Problem 1 - 11 C Consider a perfectly insulated (no heat loss from the skin) 80 - L electric water heater set at 60 ° C . Observing that one tank of hot water is sufficient to meet the hot water needs of a family for an entire day, someone suggests using a timer to heat the water once a day to the set temperature and then turning it off to save energy and money. Do you think the family should take this advice and invest in a timer? Assume there is a single tariff for electricity for all hours of the day.

    Problem 1 - 1 5 E A logic chip used in a computer dissipates 3 W of power in an environment at 120 ° F and has a heat transfer surface area of 0.08 in 2 . Assuming the heat transfer from the surface to be uniform, determine ( a ) the amount of heat this chip dissipates during an eight - hour workday in kWh and ( b ) the heat flux on the surface of the chip in W/in 2 .
