Course Outcomes
This assignment is established to achieve these Course Outcomes:
CO1 Describe the principles of heat transfer mechanisms, combustion,
refrigeration and air conditioning systems in its fundamental aspect with
relation to existing energy systems [PO1, LO1, SS1]{C2}.
CO2 Apply relationship between theoretical and practical aspects of heat transfer
application [PO1, LO1, SS1]{C3}.
CO3 Analyse principles of energy mechanisms to solve a wide range of thermal
engineering problems [PO2, LO3, SS1]{C4}.
CO4 Develop solutions for mathematical models and propose appropriate results
for thermal engineering applications [PO3, LO3, SS1]{C5}.
CO5 Explain the importance of efficient energy utilization in engineering practices
and its impact on the environment as part of the need for sustainable
development. [PO7, LO6, SS4]{A3}.
Objective
The objective of this assignment is for students to conduct preliminary design
calculations of an air conditioning system combining all the relevant topics in
thermal engineering.
Problem Statement
A simple ideal vapor-compression heat-pump system is shown in Figure 1 to provide
a heating effect for a building. The heat from evaporator of the refrigeration system
is dissipated to the outdoor air flowing at 20,000 cfm from 0C to condition it to
40C and the relative humidity is 40%, respectively. An unmixed cross flow heat
exchanger is used to increase the temperature to 18C. The heat exchanger is
made of tubes through which flows hot fluid from the compressor of the
refrigeration system. Then, the air is humidified by the injection of hot steam in the
humidifying section.
A. Air-conditioning process
The conditioned air flows in a 0.5 m x 0.5 m square cross section conduit before
being discharged to the room through a vent.
1. Provide a sketch of the air-conditioning processes with the ambient pressure
of 100 kPa. (CO1)
2. Solve the required heat extraction rate at the heating section when the
ambient air enters at 0C and 95% of relative humidity and leave the system
at 18C. (CO2)
3. Analyze the rate of water vapor if the room temperature is in the range
between 20 C and 25C (increment of 1 C ) and the relative humidity is
between 40% to 75%. Plot the graph. (CO3)
4. A mixing chamber is introduced in the system. Some of the indoor air
temperature is recycled and mix with the outdoor air to save energy. If the
required temperature entering the condenser is set at 20 C, sketch the
1
schematic diagram; then evaluate the amount of recycle indoor air required
(in %) and the heating rate of the condenser (in kW) for the exit temperature
ranges from 21 C to 25 C (CO4)
Tips:
a. There is no change in specific humidity of air for a sensible heating process.
b. The water vapor enters as saturated vapor in the humidifying section at 100
C.
