A house, for cooling purposes, consists of two zones: the atric area zone A and the living area zone B (see below figure). The living area is cooled by a 2 -ton air conditioning unit that removes 23,000 Btu/hr. The heat capacity of zone B is 1/6 °F per thousand Btu. The time constant for heat transfer between zone A and the outside is 3ℎr, between zone B and the outside is 6ℎr, and between the two zones is 6ℎr. If the outside temperature stays at 90°F, how warm does it eventually get in the attic zone A ?
