An auditorium seating 1800 people in three consecutive sitting for 6 hours, is to be maintained at 25°C dry bulb and 20°C
wet bulb temperatures with outdoor air at 35°C dry bulb and 60% relative humidity. Conditioned air enters the auditorium
at 15°C. Ventilation requirement is 8 m³/hr per person. Solar and other heat loads amount to 108,000 KJ/hr. The sensible
and latent heat loads from the occupants is 275 KJ/hr per person and 150 KJ/hr per person, respectively. The ventilation
load is nearest to what value?
266.64 kw
29.63 kw
115 kw
44.12 kw
Q 6:
The air in a room has a pressure of 101.3 kPa and a dry bulb temperature of 24°C, with a
wet bulb temperature of 17°C. Using the psychrometric chart determine the humidity
ratio, the enthalpy, the relative humidity, the dew point temperature, and the specific
volume of the humid air.
(Ans : 0.0094 kgv/kgda, 47.6 kJ/kgda, 50%, 12.9°C, 0.854 m/kgda)

how it's simply 150 KJ/hr * 1800 = 270,000 KJ/hr?
