Chapter 4 Problem 4.47

Question

(a) An air-conditioning unit cools \(50(ft)^{3}·s^{−1}\) of air at 94(°F) to 68(°F). What is the required heat-transfer rate in \((Btu) \cdot s^{−1}\)?

(b) Rework part (a) for a flow rate of \(1.5 m^{3} \cdot s^{−1}\), a temperature change from 35°C to 25°C, and units of \(kJ \cdot s^{−1}\).

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 4 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (a) An air-conditioning unit cools \(50(ft)^{3}·s^{−1}\) of air at 94(°F) to 68(°F). What is the required heat-transfer rate in \((Btu) \cdot s^{−1}\)?(b) Rework part (a) for a flow rate of \(1.5 m^{3} \cdot s^{−1}\), a temperature change from 35°C to 25°C, and units of \(kJ \cdot s^{−1}\).Text Transcription:50(ft)^3 cdot s^−1(Btu) cdot s^−11.5 m^3 cdot s^−1kJ cdot s^−1
From the textbook chapter Heat Effects you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
