Neglect ll friction losses nd fn nd pump work. Assume se level conditions.. Drw digrm of the system. b. Drw the operting cycle on the psychrometric chrt provided. c. Identify ech significnt point, on the digrm nd psychrometric chrt, nd note for ech of these points its dry bulb nd wet bulb temperture. d. Clculte the totl ir conditioning lod for the room. e. Clculte the totl energy input. f. Clculte the required energy input if the energy to the heting coil is supplied from the refrigertion plnt condenser cooling wter. PROBLEM 2. (20 POINTS) An ir conditioning system operting on the winter heting cycle, is required to mintin inside conditions of 68 FdB (dry bulb), 50% RH (reltive humidity), when the outdoor design conditions re 32 FdB nd 10% RH. The sensible het loss from the building is 220,000 Btu/hr, nd the ltent het loss is 45,000 Btu/hr. The building will be heted using heter nd stem humidifier. The mss rtio of outside ir to the mixed ir is 0.45. The supply ir tempertut e is 100 Fd13. The stem humidifier uses sturted stem t 20 Asi.. Identify ech chrcteristic point on the digrm, b. Drw the operting cycle on the psychrometric chrt provided, nd show for ech significnt point its dry bulb temperture nd reltive humidity. c. Determine the supply ir conditions nd quntity (Ib/hr) d. Clculte the Btu/hr rting of the heter. e. Clculte the mss flow rte of stem. PROBLEM 3 (20 POINTS). A centrifugl fn operting t 2400 rpm delivers 20,000 cfm of ir through 32 inch dimeter duct ginst sttic pressure of 4.8 in. HZO. The ir is t 40 F. The brometric pressure is 29.0 in. Hg.. Clculte the power, if the efficiency is 70%. b. If the fn size, gs density, nd duct system remins the sme, clculte the power required if the fn is operted t 3200rpm. c. Explin the effect of ir density on the flow rte, developed hed nd horsepower.
ANNUAL EXAMINATIONS My 201 S Pge 3 of 7 07-MEC-B2 Environmentl Control in Buildings PROBLEM 4. (20 POINTS). 10 points Indoor ir qulity is one of the mjor concerns in HVAC industry tody. Plese describe in mximum of two pges wht re the fctors influencing the indoor ir qulity, nd wht mesures re to be tken in order to provide n cceptble indoor ir qulity. In your discussion mke reference to stndrds nd codes required in mintining n cceptble indoor ir qulity. b. IO points Suppose there is source of NOx in building tht produces 110 µg/s of NOx. If the ir inside the building is lwys well mixed, nd if the outdoor ir hs llredy NOx concentrtion of 50 µg/m3, wht outdoor irflow is needed to stisfy the required (recommended by stndrd) conditions in the building. PROBLEM 5. (20 POINTS) The wll of house consists of two 125mm thick brick wlls with n inner cvity. The inside wll hs 10 mm coting of plster nd there is cement rendering of 5 mm on the outside wll. In one room of the house the externl wll is 4 m x 2.5 m, nd contins window of 1.8 m x 1.2 m of 1.Smm thick glss. The het trnsfer coefficients for the inside nd outside surfces of the wll nd window re 8.5 nd 31 W/m2K, respectively. The therml conductivities of bt ick, plster, cement nd glss re 0.43, 0.14, 0.86, nd 0.76 W/m K, respectively. Clculte the proportion of the totl het trnsfer which is due to the het loss through the window. Assume tht the resistnce of the ir cvity is 0.15 mzk/w. Neglect ll end effects, nd neglect rdition. PROBLEM 6. (20 POINTS) A smll size induced (forced drft) cooling tower is designed to cool 6 liters of wter per second, with the inlet temperture of 45 C. The motor driven fn induces 9 m3/s of ir through the tower nd the power bsorbed is 4.75 kw. The ir entering the tower is t 18 C, nd hs reltive humidity of 60%. The ir leving the tower cn be ssumed to be sturted nd its temperture 26 C. Show digrm of the cooling tower. Clculte the finl temperture of the mount of cooling wter mke-u~ required per second. Assume tht pressure remins constnt throughout the tower t 1.013 br.
