Problem 2: You are planning for a single-span greenhouse that is 12 feet (3.6 m) wide and 80 feet (24.4 m) long. The side walls are 10 feet high (3.1 m), and the gutter to ridge height is 3.5 feet (1.1 m). The greenhouse is located at an elevation of 8,000 feet (2,400 m). The greenhouse has an automated shade screen that maintains light intensity inside at or below 7,000 foot-candle (80.1 klux). A 5F (2.4C) rise in temperature can be tolerated from pad to fans. Calculate the required
air flow rate (7 points), pump capacity (4 points), and sump volume (4 Points) for a 6-inch (15.2 cm) thick cross-fluted cellulose cooling system for the greenhouse. (Total: 15 Points)
