Cooling energy .16
An architect wants to design low-energy
buildings using little cooling. She wants
to place an earth pipe to cool the
ventilation air during warm periods. On
average the outdoor temperature during
the hot season is 33 [oC]. Normally this
air is cooled to 25 [OC] by a compression
chiller. With an earth pipe of 30 [m] the
warm outdoor air can be pre-cooled to
29 [OC]. How much cooling energy will
?be saved by using the earth pipe

- 7. When you work for a company that studies the performance of car engines, you are tasked with accurately measuring the amount of air intake by car engines. A gas flow meter was introduced from the United States to measure the amount of air. This flow meter measures the flow rate using the pressure difference. Looking at the instruction manual of this flow meter, the following equations were found for the pressure difference head and volume flow [unit, volume/time]. ▷ Volumetric Flow Rate[ft°/min]: =(55.3658* DP-0.143168* DP^ 2)) However, DP is the head (water height) of the manometer, and the unit is inch to be. In the above equation, if you insert DP[inch], the air volume flow rate can be calculated and the unit of the volume flow rate is ft/min. Complex unit conversion is included in the constant in front of DP, so you don't need to worry about it. Before the experiment to measure the amount of air inhaled into the engine, the current atmospheric pressure and temperature were…arrow_forwardAnswer incorrect resentarrow_forwarda a y a=2, b=5, c=4, d=3 [m] |F|= 6V29[kN] |F,|= 3/29[kN] |F|= 3/29[kN] For the force system depicted above determine (with the accuracy to two decimal places): A.
