Problem 1(15 pts)
A ventilation system with air conditioning is used to cool down a classroom with 35 persons. The room dimensions are 4**4**3m. Cold air enters the room at a rate =q and leaves at the same rate. The heat generated by each person is assumed to be constant =Eg. The room is assumed to be insulated so that no heat enters from outside. Temperature outside the room and initial room temperature =T2. Cold temperature enters the room at a temperature =Tc.
a. Sketch the system and label it appropriately. 1pt
b. Derive and solve the relationship (symbolic) between room temperature and time: T(t).7 pts
c. If the air condition suddenly shuts off (no air enters or leaves the room), Derive the relationship between room temperature and time: T(t).4 pts
d. Estimate the required ventilation in m3s needed to keep room temperature below 23C assuming Tinitial =T ambient =29C,T cold in =21C,Ep=110W,p air =1.24kgm3,Cp air =1kJkg.K below the allowable limit.3 pts
