A classroom that normally contains 40 people is tobe air-conditioned with window air-conditioning units of 5-kW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed todissipate heat at a rate of about 360 kJ/h. There are 10 lightbulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100 W. The rate ofheat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000 kJ/h. If the room air is to bemaintained at a constant temperature of 21°C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units required
An average person produces 1.05 kg of moisture while taking a
shower and 0.05 kg while bathing in a tub. Consider a family of 5
who each shower once a day in a bathroom that is no ventilated.
Taking the heat of vaporization of water to be 2450 kJ/kg,
determine the contribution of showers to the latent heat load of the
air conditioner per day in summer.
