May 06th, 2015 - 01:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think we will let anyone else who is interested make their own mind up instead of you bleating nonsense as to why you didn't get the answer wrong!
There is a room inside another building and it is constructed such that there is no thermal transmission possible through any part of the structure. Heat (or 'cold') cannot pass through the structure to the other building and visa-versa.
Inside the room is a standard compressor cycle fridge which is plugged into the wall socket and the door is open on the fridge. The socket is then turned on to operate the fridge.
So, the question is: does the temperature reduce in the room, does it increase or is there no change in the temperature?
Time allowed FIVE seconds.
I already answered:
May 06th, 2015 - 01:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If we remove all other heat sources, as lamps and people (which you did), there will be a slight raise in temperature in the room as a product of the effect delivered by the compressor.
This rise in temperature would, depending on the size of the room, most surely be measurable, but you would most certainly not be able to tell the difference (should the room not be too small).

Voice, just make sure the condensing unit is placed outside the room you wish to cool. Depending on the side of the room and the cooling capacity of your fridge, the outcome differs. You might want to keep external heat sources away (sun, lights, compressor etc). Insulation is crucial.

Yes, he was, though he later claimed he never said that. By then of course he would have talked to somebody with half-a-brain and realised he didn't even have that much.
lf the fridge was set into the wall(?)with the compressor outside & the door open , inside the room, the temperature would drop inside the room.
May 06th, 2015 - 10:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Similar to a car airconditioner which removes the heat from inside the cabin & radiates it outside via the condensor.
You cannot make anything cold.
You merely remove the heat.
Digressing a little,
l once knew an eccentric Hungarian in Australia that used to sit inside his freezer in Australia's enervating hot summers!
l did say that he was eccentric!
All these months, Chris, and the best you can come up with, is that a raise in temperature isn't the same as an increment is same then?
May 06th, 2015 - 10:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Isolde
The compressor indeed adds heat, but the part you want to keep on the outside, is the condensing unit (often the backside of a standing fridge, the coil that yields heat.)

@38 Stevie,
May 07th, 2015 - 08:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0Of course, you are correct.
l meant to imply the condensor also.
l have a question for you Stevie & l'm not trying to be funny.
l genuinely want to know.
1) l know from experience that the top of the oven is hotter than the bottom.
2) The heat in most electric ovens is caused by the heating element at the bottom.
3) Therefore shouldn't the bottom be hotter than the top?
4) As the heated air rises in the oven, it moves further away from its heating source(the electric heating element).
5) Because the air is moving away from what heated it, shouldn't the temperature drop(even minutely?).
l could never find a satisfying answer to this.
Anyone please comment.
Isolde, if your heat source is placed on the bottom, it will also become the warmest place inside the oven. Heat will indeed rise, but it will never be hotter on the top than the warmest heat input.
May 07th, 2015 - 08:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0A fan will make sure the heat spreads inside the oven and max temperature is reached faster, but that temperature is decided by the heat source.
The reason you experience the top being hotter, could be explained by two factors. 1) There is a heat source at the top of the oven (very normal in household ovens). 2) There is some form for insulation between the heated food and the bottom heat source (oven tray, for example).
Check your oven for possible heat coil at the top.
Not so, Stevie.
May 07th, 2015 - 09:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0l failed that question in a University test when l said the bottom would be hotter than the top.
l have since found out, by experience that the top is indeed hotter than the bottom.
All electric ovens that l have used have the heating element at the bottom.
l cannot explain it.
l'll add it to the list of unexplainable things!
It's not possible Isolde. If there aren't any other heat sources, where would that additional heat come from? You could measure heat radiance and discover that the heat decreases from bottom to top, only to increase again at the very top. But there is no way anything in that oven is hotter than the hottest heat source, that would mean something else is adding heat, making it the hottest heat source....
May 07th, 2015 - 09:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0@ 45 Isolde
May 07th, 2015 - 11:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0I was the technical director at a major UK gas and electric oven manufacturer and you have overlooked something!
Yes, some ovens have the element at the bottom just like a gas burner is placed in a gas oven (normally) BUT the element is switched On and OFF to control the temperature throughout the cavity and the controlling device is: dad,da: the thermostat!!
Also, the coiled elements are designed as far as possible to be 'black radiators' and heat by convection: heat ALWAYS rises.
We had to make fan ovens (gas and electric) to present a more uniform temperature gradient, top to bottom, to compensate for the lack of cooking ability in the 'modern woman', they simply were not trained properly at school (all the domestic science labs have been ripped out in UK schools).
So Stevie is wrong AGAIN, ovens are designed to be hotter at the top which is why you can cook different foods at the same time by placing the lowest temperature requirement on the lowest shelf and the highest temperature requirement on the highest shelf.
Breakdowns R Us
I will explain it for you in simple terms,
“there will be a SLIGHT raise in temperature”
NO there won't it will be a considerable increase. The key phrase is “NO thermal transmission possible through any part of the structure”
ALL the energy from the electrical supply will eventually be translated as HEAT.
If the fridge has an electrical usage of 1,000 watts (the one in my Uruguayo case was 2,000) the heating effect will be the same as a single bar fire.
BUT, I have every confidence you will continue to blather on, thus demonstrating your utter inability to UNDERSTAND the physics of the device.

May 07th, 2015 - 12:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The raise in temperature is all dependant on the size of the compressor, and the size of the room. A household fridge compressor used as a heat element will NOT make the temperature rise fast anywhere, unless it's in a room of the size of the fridge itself.
If what you say is true, you would feel an instant increment in temperature as soon as you open the fridge door, regardless of the insulation of your house...
As for the oven, the temperature at the top will not raise and fall as much as at the bottom, because of the thermostate as you mention, but the HOTTEST place will still be the heat source. If the heat source is placed in the bottom, then the hottest place is just there and nowhere else.

@ 51 lsolde
Just a tip about why the top of the oven (fanless type) is hotter than anywhere else. Hot air is less dense than “cold” air and it responds the same as any other multi-temperature laminar fluid: the densest parts always sink. Hot-air balloons are also a good example, the canopy retains the hot air and is displaced by cold air below it. However when the air in the canopy is close to the air outside the canopy the lifting effect dies and without heat the balloon will sink to earth.
Don't get miss-led by Breakdowns R Us, his knowledge is clearly cluttered and lacks clear problem solving thought. I seriously doubt he has ever had any practical experience of ovens and burner characteristics in closed containers.

May 07th, 2015 - 08:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Lets put your knowledge to the test... What's the formula for COP? Let me help you with that COP=Q/W, where Q is the heat removed (cooling capacity) and W is the energy input (compressor power consumption).
Now what COP is reasonable for a household fridge, Sir Engineer?
3? 5?
Lets try both... 2kW compressor effect, you say...
First case would leave you with a fridge with a cooling capacity of 6kW. The other scenario, a well-sized fridge of 10kW...
You didn't say you put an industrial cooling tower inside that room... Those don't usually come with a door...
