The winter air conditioning system has a preheat coil, an air washer, and a reheat coil as processing units. It supplies air at 38°C db-temperature to a space maintained at 21°C db-temperature and 13°C wb-temperature. The sensible and latent heat loads on the space are 50 kW and 25 kW, respectively. Of the return air from the space, 40% by dry air mass is discharged to the ambient and replaced with fresh outdoor air at 2°C db-temperature and 95% relative humidity. In the preheater, the air is heated to a db-temperature of 21°C. Assume that the water added in the air washer is at the wb-temperature of the air entering it. The pressure is constant at 95 kPa. Determine:The mass flow rate of supply air in kg/s.The rate of heat input in the preheat coil in kW.The mass flow rate of water sprayed in the air washer in kg/s.

Good Day , Am struggling with the two questions below , please assit Question 1 A solar-power-tower plant is considered for Dakar, Senegal. Heliostats with a total area of 80,000 m2 are to be used to reflect solar radiation into a receiver. When the solar irradiation is 950 W/m2, steam is produced at 2 MPa and 400°C at a rate of 20 kg/s. This steam is expanded in a turbine to 20 kPa pressure. The enthalpy at the exit of the turbine is 2484.5 kJ/kg.(a) Determine the power output and the thermal efficiency of the plant when the solar radiation is 950 W/m2.(b) How much electricity can be produced per year if the average thermal efficiency is 15 % and the generator efficiency is 96 %? Question 2 To reduce cooling electricity consumption in an industrial plant, it is proposed to install an absorption refrigeration system running on solar energy. The absorption system costs $300,000 and the operating and maintenance expenses are $8000 per year. It is estimated that this absorption system…
