Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.10P
With the air conditioning running and the thermostat set at 78 F the wet bulb temperature is found to be 68 F in an office space. Assuming no significant radiant effects, would you expect the occupants to be comfortable in the summer? If not, comment on any remedial action you might recommend, aside from simply turning down the thermostat, which would increase electrical costs.

Radiators are used in most of the houses’ heating. If we happen to place a sofa justin front of our heating radiator, how will the heating of the room be affected? Explain.
Which of the three air-conditioning possible systems listed below should be used to maintain the indoor temperature of a house at 20°C while resulting in a daily lower operating cost when the outdoor temperature is -2°C. Based on the construction of the house you estimate that under the given indoor and outdoor temperatures the rate of heat loss to the surroundings is 17 kJ/s. Which system would you recommend as a feasible alternative? Support your answer for each one of the cases below with convincing computations that show which one of the systems is requires the minimum electrical power while being in compliance with the first and second law of thermodynamics. a.
