AE 332 New Tutorial#4 - Spring 2024 2
Example 1:
A laboratory 30mx20mx4m high located in (32 °N latitude) is to be air
conditioned. The 30 m wall faces North. The north wall has two doors of
2.5mx3m each. The south wall has four double glass windows of 2mx1.5 m and
6 mm thickness with internal shading type medium venetian blinds. The east
and west walls also have four glass windows of the same size. The Non-
conditioned space below the lab at inside temperature of 33 °C. The lighting
load is 15W Fluorescent per m2 floor area. The infiltration is one air change per
hour. The overall heat transfer coefficient U for walls, roof, floor, door and
windows are 2.5, 2,3,3,1.5 and 6 W/m2k. respectively. The roof is type 4 and
walls are type D, there are 100 persons with sensible and latent heat loads of 75
W and 55 W each respectively. The ventilation requirement is 0.3 m3/min per
person. The outdoor condition is 43°C dry bulb temperature and .0277 kg/kg dry
air of humidity ratio. The indoor condition is 25 °C dry bulb temperature and
0.01 kg/kg dry air humidity ratio and the average temperature is 29 C . The
sensible and latent heat gain from the appliances and lab equipment are 2330
W ( Sensible) and 900 W (Latent).
Calculate the room sensible heat and room latent heat load and the total
cooling load at 4pm (16:00) solar time of August month for the laboratory with
10 % safety factor, 5% for fan power, 5% air leakage from duct and air supply.
Area of North wall = 30x4- 2x(2.5x3) =105 m2
Area of South wall =30x4- 4x(1.5x2) =108 m2
Area of East wall=20x4-4(1.5x2) =68 m2
Area of West wall=20x4-4(1.5x2) =68 m2
Area of the roof =30x20=600 m2
Area of the floor =30x20=600 m2
Area of doors 2x(2.5x3) = 15m m2
Area of windows in each wall =4x(1.5x2) = 4x3=12 m 2
Given:
L=30 m, W=20 m, H=4m,
Door size =2.5mx3 m, Window size= 2.5m x3m, double glass with 6 mm
thickness.
Qs light =15 W/m2, Use a factor of 1.25 for fluorescent lamp lights.
Uwall =2.5 W/m2k, Uroof=2 W/m2k, U floor =2 W/m2k
Udoor=1.5 W/m2k, U window=6 W/m2k
Roof type:4
Walls type: D
T non- conditioned space = 33°C
