An engineer has been given the following data on a conditioned room: Sensible heat gain 30 kW Latent heat gain 15 kW Supply air 18°C Outdoor air 35°C DB and 24°C WB Desired room condition 27°C DB and 50% RH For ventilation, 15% is outdoor air, the balance of air requirement being recirculated from room conditioned with some portion being by-passed around the cooling coil. There is no reheater, the desired room state is attained by the by-passing of air. It is found that the apparatus DP temperature of coil is 10°C. Find the:  a. tons of refrigeration; and b. mass flow rate of the time by-passed air.
