Water (specific heat c=4.2 kJ/kg-K) is being heated by a 1500 W heater. What is the rate of change
in temperature of 1 kg of the water?
Pinter-coller = (186*1114.57)^.5
=. 455.314 kpa
= 4.49 atm
If the latent and sensible heat loads are 25 kW and 70 kW respectively, what is the sensible heat
ratio?
How much refrigeration capacity is required to cool 2000 fm of air from 85F to 70F?
(?)
A room being air conditioned is being held at 25˚C dry bulb and 50% relative humidity. A flow rate of
6 m3/s of supply air at 15˚C dry bulb and 80% RH is being delivered to the room to maintain that
steady condition at 100 kPa. What is the sensible heat absorbed from the room air in kW?
One kilogram of wet steam at a pressure of 8 bar (vg = 0.2404 m3/kg, vf = 0.0011148 m3/kg) and
dryness 0.94 is expanded until the pressure is 4 bar (vg = 0.4625 m3/kg, vf = 0.0010836 m3/kg). If
the expansion follows the law PV^1.2 = C, find the dryness fraction of the steam at the lower
pressure.

A rectangular branch duct (300 mm x 400 mm) leaves the main duct (300 mm x 600 mm) at angle of
60°. The dimensions of the main duct remain the same following branch. The flow rate upstream is
2.70 m3/s and the air temperature is 20C. Determine the downstream pressure in the main duct. The
density of air at 20°C: ρ = 1.2041 kg/m3
A closed vessel contains air at a pressure of 150 kPag and temperature of 25C. Find the final gauge
pressure if the air is heated at constant volume to 45C.
Select one:
a. 166.67 kPag
b. 143.87 kPag
c. 187.98 kPag
d. 156.46 kPag
Three thousand cubic feet per minute of air are circulated over an air-cooled
condenser. If the load on the condenser iss 64,800 Btu/hr , compute the
temperature rise of the air passing over the condenser. a) 16°F c) 20°F b) 18°F d)
22°F
Solution: Q = mCpΔt
Where: Q = 64, 800 Btu/hr
m = ρV
m = 0.075 lb/ft3 (3000 ft3/min) (60min/hr)
m = 13,500 lb/hr
Cp = 0.24 Btu/lb °F
Thus; 6400 = 13,500 (0.24) Δt (c) Δt = 20°F
How many BTU/min is required to produce 10 metric tons of ice per day at -10 •C from raw water at
22•C? The latent heat of fusion of ice is 335 kJ/kg.
m=(10*1000)/(24*60)=6.9444kg/min
QL=335kj/kg.
Q=m[(CP)ice(T3-T2)+QL+(CP)w(T2-T1)]
Q=6.9444[2.108*(-10-0)-335+4.187*(0-22)]
Q=6.9444(-21.08-335-92.114)
Q=6.9444(-448.194)
Q=3112.438KJ/min.
Q=2950.022Btu/min.
Note:1kj/min=0.948btu/min.
Magnitude of total rate of heat lost from water at 22°c to ice at -10°c is 2950.022Btu/min.
