A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be air-conditioned with window air-conditioning units of 5-kW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate heat at a rate of about 360kJ/h. There are 10 light bulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100W. The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000kJ/h. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 21°C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units require

Laws of thermodynamics

Thermodynamics is a field of research, which needs the creation of absolute and ideal states and logical and practical examination of the actual conditions. By considering all the laws and theories of thermodynamics, the chemical reactions, the occurrence of processes, and physiological functions can be predicted with this field.
