Question
1 hr
A house, for cooling purposes, consists of two zones: the attic area zone A and the living
area zone B (see below figure). The living area is cooled by a 2-ton air conditioning unit
A
that removes 43,000 Btu/hr. The heat capacity of zone B is °F per thousand Btu. The
43,000 Btu/hr
time constant for heat transfer between zone A and the outside is 1 hr, between zone B
and the outside is 2 hr, and between the two zones is 2 hr. If the outside temperature
stays at 110°F, how warm does it eventually get in the attic zone A?
2 hr
2 hr
B
It eventually gets to be °F in the attic zone A.
(Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed.)
