Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.10P
With the air conditioning running and the thermostat set at 78 F the wet bulb temperature is found to be 68 F in an office space. Assuming no significant radiant effects, would you expect the occupants to be comfortable in the summer? If not, comment on any remedial action you might recommend, aside from simply turning down the thermostat, which would increase electrical costs.

As they work, computers emit heat. Do you have any questions concerning computer air conditioning?
Which of the three air-conditioning possible systems listed below should be used to maintain the indoor temperature of a house at 20°C while resulting in a daily lower operating cost when the outdoor temperature is -2°C. Based on the construction of the house you estimate that under the given indoor and outdoor temperatures the rate of heat loss to the surroundings is 17 kJ/s. Which system would you recommend as a feasible alternative? Support your answer for each one of the cases below with convincing computations that show which one of the systems is requires the minimum electrical power while being in compliance with the first and second law of thermodynamics. a. Electrical heating b. A heat pump with COPHP = 3.0 c. A heat pump with COP = 14.0
Hello Sir,Good Morning.I have a question in my homework related thermodynamics lesson. The following below is my question. Please advice. Thank you.
Regards,Irfan
An air conditioning system is used to keep the house at 65°F when the outside temperature is 85°F. The house gets heat through the walls and windows at a rate of 810 Btu/min, and the rate of heat generation inside the house from occupants, lights, and equipment is 120 Btu/min. Determine the minimum power input required for this air conditioning system.
