Problem 1. For a VAV system, the supply air temperature is controlled at a setpoint of 7C using
the proportional control with a Kp of 0.5 per K . The room air is controlled at 24C and 60%. The
outdoor air is at 35C and 70%. The mass flow rate ratio of fresh air to return air is a constant of
1:4(fresh air : return air). The mass flow rate of chilled water is linear to the water valve opening
with maximum capacity of 4kgs. The supply chilled water temperature is a constant of 5C, and
the return chilled water temperature is a constant of 12C. The specific heat of liquid water is
constant of 4.2kJkgK.
(1) When the dry air mass flow rate is 1kgs, find the most suitable value of u0 under this working
condition;
(2) Use the uo determined in question (1) in the proportional control, calculate the offset of the
supply air temperature when the dry air mass flow rate is 1.5kgs. Please using the energy balance to calculate the Q instead of just using the specifice heat of air
