Question

11. Consider an electric motor with a shaft power output of 22.5 kW and an efficiency of 85%. Determine the rate at which the motor dissipates heat to the room it is in when the motor operates at full load. In winter, this room is normally heated by a 2.5 kW resistance heater. Determine if it is necessary to turn the heater on when the motor runs at full load.
