A computer lab filled with 20 computers and 15 students is cooled by an air conditioning unit on a day where it is 90 oF outside. The room temperature is 72 oF. Assume an average student generate 90 W of heat and each computer generates 150 W of heat. If the COP of the air conditioner is 2.5, what power input is required, in kW? If the air conditioner operated at its maximum coefficient of performance, what power input would be required?

Question

A computer lab filled with 20 computers and 15 students is cooled by an air conditioning
unit on a day where it is 90 oF outside. The room temperature is 72 oF. Assume an average
student generate 90 W of heat and each computer generates 150 W of heat. If the COP of
the air conditioner is 2.5, what power input is required, in kW? If the air conditioner
operated at its maximum coefficient of performance, what power input would be required?
