The standard design conditions for air conditioning systems established by the air conditioning heating and Refrigeration Institute are outside temperatures of blank inside temperatures of blank with humidity of blank percent
The method of ventilation is commonly used for environmental control of airborne toxic material. There are TWO (2) types of ventilation techniques; local and dilution ventilation. The most common example of local ventilation is the standard utilitylaboratory hood and standard bypass laboratory hood.
QUESTION: In a separate table, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both types of the hood.

1.7) True/False: The heat transfer in a heat exchanger will reach its maximum
value when the cold fluid is heated to the inlet temperature of the hot fluid.
Therefore, the temperature of the cold fluid cannot rise above the inlet
temperature of the hot fluid at any location in a heat exchanger.

This is due to the so called "radiation effect" resulting from radiation heat exchange between our bodies and the surrounding surfaces of the walls and the ceiling. Consider a person standing in a room maintained at 22°C at all times. The inner surfaces of the walls, floors, and the ceiling of the house are observed to be at an average temperature of 10°C in winter and 25°C in summer. Determine the rate of radiation heat transfer between this person and the surrounding surfaces if the exposed surface area and the average outer surface temperature of the person are 1.4 m2 and 30°C, respectively. Exercise 2: Heat Loss from a Person Consider a person standing in a breezy room at 20°C. Determine the total rate of heat transfer from this person if the exposed surface area and the average outer surface…arrow_forward
- Using the information in Problem 1.22, estimate the ambient air temperature that could cause frostbite on a calm day on the ski slopes. 1.22 In order to prevent frostbite to skiers on chair lifts, the weather report at most ski areas gives both an air temperature and the wind-chill temperature. The air temperature is measured with a thermometer that is not affected by the wind. However, the rate of heat loss from the skier increases with wind velocity, and the wind-chill temperature is the temperature that would result in the same rate of heat loss in still air as occurs at the measured air temperature with the existing wind. Suppose that the inner temperature of a 3-mm-thick layer of skin with a thermal conductivity of 0.35W/mKis35C and the air temperature is 20C. Under calm ambient conditions the heat transfer coefficient at the outer skin surface is about 20W/m2K (see Table 1.4), but in a 40-mph wind it increases to 75W/m2K. If frostbite occurs when the skin temperature drops to about 10C, do you advise the skier to wear a face mask? What is the skin temperature drop due to the wind?arrow_forwardQUESTION 1 Estimate the sensible and latent cooling load in a building due to ventilation if a ventilation rate of 6.4 L/s per person is selected as representative of a hardware store.

On your first day of report, the owner wants to know if their furnace is still in condition, in which the heat loss per square meter should be at least 1,000 W/m2. The details of the furnace are as follows. The furnace wall is 1m by 1m. It is made up of 3 layers, in which the inner wall is made up of fire brick, followed an insulating brick and finally, red brick for the outer layer. You checked the inside surface temperature and got a temperature of 870oC which is 830oC hotter than the outer surface. Other data are provided from the furnace manual and specs. Co-efficient of thermal conduciveness and thickness of the layers are as follows: 1.0 W/m-K, thickness: 22 cm 0.12 W/m-K, thickness: 7.5 cm 0.75 W/m-K, thickness: 11 cmarrow_forward
