Outdoor air infiltrates into a building through cracks in the walls at the rate of 700 m3/h (this is infiltration). The outside air is at a temperature of -16.1˚C and a humidity ratio of 0.001 kgv/kga. The density of the outside air is 1.4 kg/m3. The indoor conditions are: temperature of 20˚C and humidity ratio of 0.009 kgv/kga.  Calculate:  a)    The sensible heat load (in kW) due to the infiltrating air b)    The latent heat load due (in kW) to the infiltrating air •    The specific heat for air at these temperatures is about 1.005 kJ/(kg K).  •    The latent heat of vaporization (or condensation) is 2453 kJ/kg

Question

Outdoor air infiltrates into a building through cracks in the walls at the rate of 700 m3/h (this is infiltration). The outside air is at a temperature of -16.1˚C and a humidity ratio of 0.001 kgv/kga. The density of the outside air is 1.4 kg/m3. The indoor conditions are: temperature of 20˚C and humidity ratio of 0.009 kgv/kga. 

Calculate: 
a)    The sensible heat load (in kW) due to the infiltrating air
b)    The latent heat load due (in kW) to the infiltrating air

•    The specific heat for air at these temperatures is about 1.005 kJ/(kg K). 
•    The latent heat of vaporization (or condensation) is 2453 kJ/kg
