A classroom that normally contains 60 people is to be air-conditioned using window air- conditioning units of 4-kW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate heat at a rate of 350 kJ/h. There are 12 lightbulbs in the room, each with a rating of 110 W. The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 18,000 kJ/h. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 19°C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units required.

3. solve step by step and show proper conversion and cancellation of units.

A classroom that normally contains 60 people is to be air-conditioned using window air-
conditioning units of 4-kW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate
heat at a rate of 350 kJ/h. There are 12 lightbulbs in the room, each with a rating of 110 W.
The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated
to be 18,000 kJ/h. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 19°C,
determine the number of window air-conditioning units required.
