- List at least three variables (structures) that affect the loss of heating and cooling in the building (house).arrow_forwardDuring winter, when people are in a well-insulated house,they usually feel comfortable if the air temperature is near22°C (72°F). If you have ever spent a night in a poorly insulatedcabin in winter, however, you will recognize that paradoxically,when people are in poorly insulated buildings, they often feelchilly even when the air inside is heated to 22°C or higher. Oneimportant reason for the difference in how warm people feel inthe two sorts of buildings is that even if a well-insulated andpoorly insulated building are identical in the air temperatureinside, they differ in thermal-radiation heat transfer. Specifically,a person standing in the two types of buildings experiencesdifferent heat exchange by thermal radiation in the two. Explainhow thermal-radiation heat transfer accounts for the sense ofchill in the poorly insulated building. (Hint: Think of the outerwalls of the two types of buildings, and think specifically of thetemperatures of the interior surfaces of those walls.)arrow_forwardCalculate the relative humidity if the psychrometer reads 20°C for the dry air temperature and 15°C for the wet air temperature. Or = 59% Or = 52.5% Or= 51% Or = 66% %3Darrow_forward
- A 40 foot high window wall is on the exterior of a concrete building inChicago. What is an appropriate extreme temperature range?arrow_forwardAir enters a diffuser operating at steady state at 540°R, 15 lbf/in.², with a velocity of 600 ft/s, and exits with a velocity of 60 ft/s. The ratio of the exit area to the inlet area is 8. Assuming the ideal gas model for the air and ignoring heat transfer, determine the temperature, in °R, and pressure, in lbf/in.², at the exit. Part A * Your answer is incorrect. Assuming the ideal gas model for the air and ignoring heat transfer, determine the temperature at the exit, in °R. T₂ = i -1244.63 °Rarrow_forwardExplain the HVAC system with the most suitable energy medium for usage in Architectural constraints of Commercial buildings. Illustrate with your own mathematical example of Temperature scale.arrow_forward
