An air-conditioning system involves the mixing of cold air and warm outdoor air before the mixture is routed to the conditioned room in steady operation. Cold air enters the mixing chamber at 7°C and 105 kPa at a rate of 0.55 m3 /s while warm air enters at 34°C and 105 kPa. The air leaves the room at 24°C. The ratio of the mass flow rates of the hot to cold airstreams is 1.6. Using variable specific heats, determine the mixture temperature at the inlet of the room.
