Consider an enclosed swimming pool. The pool area has a sensible heat loss of 424,000 Btu/hr (124 kW) and a latent heat gain of 530,000 Btufhr (155 kW) on a design day when the outdoor air is at 35 F (2 C) and 20 percent relative humidity (RH). The space is to be maintained at 75 F (24 C) and 50 percent RH. Outdoor air is to be heated to 60 F (16 C), mixed with recirculated air from the conditioned space and the mixed air heated to supply conditions. (a) At what rate, in cfm, is the air supplied to the space if the supply air temperature is 95 F (35 C)? (b) At what rate, in cfm, is outdoor air and recirculated air flowing? (c) What is the heat transfer rate for the preheat process? (d) What is the heat transfer rate for the mixed air heating process?
