Question
A house, for cooling purposes, consists of two zones: the attic area zone A and the living area zone B (see
below figure). The living area is cooled by a 2-ton air conditioning unit that removes 29,000 Btu/hr. The heat
2 hr
A

capacity of zone B is
°F per thousand Btu. The time constant for heat transfer between zone A and the
4
29,000 Btu/hr
outside is 2 hr, between zone B and the outside is 4 hr, and between the two zones is 4 hr. If the outside
4 hr

temperature stays at 110°F, how warm does it eventually get in the attic zone A?
B
It eventually gets to be
°F in the attic zone A.
