Hello! I'd like help with the following exercise, from Levenspiel's "Engineering Flow and Heat Exchange".
Leftover air at 20ºC and 100kPa is driven by a fan through a horizontal galvanized conduit of 1 m in diameter and 10m in length at a speed of 10 m/s. What size motor should be used if its efficiency is 90% and that of the fan is 20%?
I'm not sure where to start. My professor hasn't explained much about this subject.
Calculate the EER rating of a 20 ton (240000 Btu) air conditioning unit with an
average electrical load of 30 kW.
An air conditioning plant supplies air to a room at a rate of 2.5 kg/s, the supply
air being made up of equal parts by weight of outdoor and recirculated air. The
mixed air passes through a cooler coil fitted with a by-pass duct, face and by pass
dampers being used for humidity control. The air then passes through an after
heater and supply fan. In a test on the plant, the following conditions (Table Qu
4) were recorded;

Calculate the following;

load on heater
Atmospheric air, which is a mixture of dry air and water vapour, is supplied into ducting with a cooling coil. Initially it has a relative humidity of 0.57, volumetric
flow rate of 0.72 mis and temperature of 17°C. The atmospheric air is then passed over a cooling coil such that the temperature drops to 6°C. As this is
below the dew point, the water vapour condensates after cooling coll and the air leaves in a saturated state. Assuming the barometric pressure of
atmosphenic air to be 1.01325 bar, determine the folowing quantities in question parts () to (vi):

The air storage helps support various fluid power (pneumatics)requirements, but also serves for energy storage (when fully charged).The tank sits in a plant room having a temperature of 25oC at 1 atmosphere (101.325kPa).When delivered new and installed the tank (and the ambient air it contains) is assumedinitially at the same steady state conditions in the plant room. The tank can be filled with(dry) air to a maximum pressure of 300bar. When left in the plant room, the pressurised airtank eventually attains the plant room temperature.You may assume:> Steady state conditions apply> Negligible changes in kinetic and potential energy> Thermal mass of the tank (metal) is negligible Apply the ideal gas equation and calculate the mass of 25oC air (units: kg) in the fullypressurised tank.arrow_forwardPlease provide correct solution..arrow_forward
