A space to be conditioned has a sensible heat load of 80 kw and a latent heat load of 20 kw and is to be maintained at 20°C and 50% relative humidity. Outside air is at 35°C and 60% RH. The conditioned air will enter the space at 15°C. If 40% of the supply air is fresh and the rest is recirculated, the refrigeration capacity of the system is nearest to what value?

In an attempt to conserve water and to be awarded LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, a 20,000-liter cistern has been installed during construction of a new building. The cistern collects water from an HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) system designed to provide 2830 cubic meters of air per minute at 22°C and 50% relative humidity after converting it from ambient conditions (31°C, 70% relative humidity). The collected condensate serves as the source of water for lawn maintenance. Estimate (a) the rate of intake of air at ambient conditions in cubic feet per minute and (b) the hours of operation required to fill the cistern.
