proposed cold storage room. The name plate of the
condenser gives the following
specifications:
refrigerant ammonia
condenser water inlet 30 OC
condenser water outlet 40 ỌC
condensing temperature 35 OC
refrigerant flow 3.84 kg/min
circulating water flow 120 kg/min

An air-cooled window DX unit is used for space cooling. The unit has a capacity of 4.5 tons and has a SEER of 15. If the unit operates for 2204 hours during the summer, how many kWh of electricity will be used?
Hint: In the U.S., the SEER is the ratio of cooling in British thermal units (BTUs) to the electrical energy consumed in watt-hours. You may need to convert the unit in this process.

- In the United States, electricity is sold using the SI units of kilowatt (kW) or megawatt (MW), and fuel for power generation stations is generally purchased using English units, e.g., British thermal unit (Btu), gallon (gal), and ton. An industrial power plant has an average annual load of 100 MW (electrical). If the overall thermal efficiency is 33% (based on HHV), what is the annual cost of fuel if the plant is fired with (a) natural gas, (b) No. 2 fuel oil, and (c) bituminous coal? Use the data from Tables 2.2, 2.7, and 2.13.
