Pls. Answer thank you!
An auditorium is designed to seat 4500 people. The ventilation rate is 1.62×107 ft³/hr of outside air. The outside temperature is 0°F dry bulb, and outside pressure is 14.6 psia. Air leaves the auditotium at 70°F dry bulb. There is no recirculation. The furnace has a capacity of 1,250,000 Btu/hr. The temperature at which the air should enter the auditorium is most nearly?

7. In the summer it tends to become quite hot and humid in the Guelph area. Many home owners purchase dehumidifiers to remove
moisture from the air. Excessive moisture can create problems with dampness in basements, so it is a good idea to keep the
situation under control, Dehumidifiers work on the principle that when air is cooled, its ability to hold moisture decreases
Therefore, the dehumidifier consists of a cabinet-like structure containing a refrigeration coll. As the room air blows over this coil.
it is cooled to a temperature that is below its dew point. Moisture then condenses out of the air and is collected in a bucket (or
directed by a hose to a floor drain),
A curious home owner wonders how much water will be collected in a 12 hour period. He empties the bucket at the start of the
test and comes back exactly twelve hours later to see how much water has been collected.
Calculate the amount of water that would be collected in a twelve-hour period if 1.15 cubic metres per…

Are you as strong as a horse?
Purpose: To understand the concept of work and power and to calculate the power
generated by yourself or a friend.
Materials: A tape measure, stairs, and a stopwatch, cell phone, or wristwatch.
Key Physics Concept: Power is the rate of doing work. Power can be calculated by
dividing the work done by the time it takes to do the work; in this case we will do work
against gravity on a stair case (you may add your power in doing pushups to test your
arm power). Can you guess what your peak horsepower is?
You may do the stairs one at
at time or multiple stairs at a
a time; whatever is most safe
and efficient for you.
Procedure:
Observations:
Analysis:
Conclusions:
Application:
1. Will your hp change if you performed the activity for a longer duration (for example,
climbed the CN tower staircase)? In what way? Explain.
2. Research the horsepower generated by a car. How does the average person's peak
power rating compare to it? How many average people would it…

Part 1: Do the Analysis of the Ocean Thermal Gradient Power Plant shown
below. Your Analysis will be easier to do in EES but it is up to you. Your
EES program must be well documented and documentation in your code
should reference system sketches. (The cycle and individual components)
These sketches are done on attached engineering or typing paper, unless
you are able to draw them in EES. You must validate your results with hand
calculations on engineering paper that invoke the 1 and 2 Law from the
perspective of the entire cycle, not the individual components. Of course,
a system sketch is required.

Cycle operates with a peak boiler temperature of 70 °F and a condenser

°F. The cooler water deeper in the ocean is the sink for heat rejection at
the condenser. Assume a…
