There are 78 students in our room, which can be assumed to be 30m x 25m x 10m. An average person's basal metabolic rate is 84 W when resting. This means that, on average, a person dissipates 84W of heat to their surroundings. If the air handling system breaks, what temperature rise would be expected in the room over the 50 minute class period? Assume the doors are closed and approximate it as closed to air flow. a) Assume air behaves as an ideal gas with a constant Cp=1.005 kJ/kgK. (3 pt) b) Assume the air behaves as an ideal gas with a temperature dependence as prescribed in App A.II. (4 pt) There are 78 students in our room, which can be assumed to be 30m x 25m x 10m.
