Chapter 4, Problem 4.32P
A classroom with a capacity of 225 people is isolated from the outdoors except for the incoming ventilation air. The cooling load is 123,000 Btu/hr (37 kW) with a sensible heat factor of 0.7. The minimum 15 cfm/person (7.5 L/s per person) is assumed adequate. (a) Compute the required amount of ventilation air (supply air) on the basis of the cooling load, assuming that the space dry bulb is 75 F (24 C) and 50 percent relative humidity and that the air is supplied at 90 percent relative humidity (RH). (b) What is the minimum air supply rate based on indoor air quality requirements? (c) Compare parts (a) and (b) and discuss the best course of action.

- 1. .Mexico's metro requires the implementation of an air conditioning system for each of its cars. On the hottest days the air inside the car can reach 45°C. A temperature of 25°C is expected to be achieved to keep passengers satisfied. A car measures 17 m x 2.5 x 2. In order to make the decision on the air conditioning system to install, the engineering director has asked to calculate: A. Amount of energy to be removed from the car when the air is at 45°C and the car is empty. B. Amount of energy to withdraw when the car is full (approx. 130 people with a volume of 0.06 m3/person). Each person releases 30 kJ while in the car. C.
