Answer

$T_2=10.7°C$

Work Step by Step

The energy balance for the radiator: $Q=\Delta U$ From steam tables: Initial state ($P_1=200\ kPa,\ T_1=200°C$): $v_1=1.08049\ m³,\ u_1=2654.6\ kJ/kg$ Final state ($P_2=100\ kPa,\ v_2=v_1$): $v_{2,L}=0.001043\ m³/kg,\ v_{2,G}=1.6941\ m³/kg,\ u_{2,L}=417.40\ kJ/kg,\ u_{2,G}=2088.2\ kJ/kg$ The steam quality is: $x=\frac{v_2-v_{2,L}}{v_{2,G}} \rightarrow x=0.6376$ Hence $u_2=1748.7\ kJ/kg$ And since the volume is 0.15m³ $m=V_1/v_1=0.01388\ kg$ Therefore, from the energy balance: $Q=-12.58\ kJ$ For the air: Volume of air is the volume of the room: 3x4x6=72m³ $PV=mRT$ Given $P_1=100\ kPa,\ R=0.287\ kJ/kg.K,\ T_1=280K$ we get $m=89.60\ kg$ The shaft work of the 120W fan after 45 min is $-W_s=\dot{W}_s\Delta t = 324\ kJ$ The energy balance for this system is: $Q-W_s=\Delta U$ Plugging in the variables ($Q=12.58\ kJ,\ c_v=1.005\ kJ/kg.K$): and solving for the final temperature: $T_2=10.7°C$
