A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be air-conditioned with window air- conditioning units of 5- kW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate heat at a rate of about 360 kJ/h. There are 10 light bulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100 W. The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000 kJ/h. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 21°C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units required.

3. A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be air-conditioned with window air-conditioning units of 5-kW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate heat at a rate of about 360 kJ/h. There are 10 light bulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100 W. The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000 kJ/h. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 210C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units required. draw a figure also, and explain each step by step solution.
Thermodynamicclass contains 32 undergrad students. The plan is to air-conditionthe classroomwith air-conditioning units of 8-kW cooling capacity. It is assumed that on average each studentdissipate heat at a rate of about 300 kJ/h. There are 12lightbulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100 W. The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 14,000 kJ/h. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 23oC,i.e. ∆?????≈0, determine the number of air-conditioning units required.

Explain the work (electrical) done on an adiabatic system is equal to the increase in the energy of the system.
A heat pump is used to extract heat from the outside atmosphere to heat the inside of a building. On a day when the outside air temperature is Tc°C, the heat pump is operating to a COP of 3.7, maintaining the inside temperature of the building at Th°C. If the building is losing heat at the rate of 53,709 kJ/hour in these conditions, determine how much power (kW) must be supplied to a heat pump? Keep two decimal places
An Air conditioned space is maintained at 26 deg DBT and 50% RH. When outside air conditions are 35 deg DBT and 28 deg WBT. If the space has a sensible heat gain of 17.6 kW and air is supplied to the room at a conditions of 8 deg saturated, calculate The specific volume rate of air supplied to the room 0.668 cubic metre /sec O 0.753 cubic metre /sec O 0.650 cubic metre /sec O 0.725 cubic metre /sec
An electric home stove with 3 burners and microwave is used in preparing a meal asfollows. Burner 1: 20 minutes Burner 2: 40 minutes Burner 3: 15 minutes . Microwave: 30minutes. If each burner is rated at 1.2 kW and the oven at 1.8 kW, and electricity costs 1000(IQ =Iraqi Dinar) per k Wh, calculate the cost of electricity used in preparing the meal?
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. Power of a system that removes the estimated energy A and B in less than 1 minute.
