Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A room requires a 7°C increase in temperature. If the mass of air in this room is 1.2 kg and the specific heat capacity is 1.006 kJ/kg·°C, how much energy is needed to reach the desired temperature?
💡 Hint: Substitute the values carefully into the sensible heat equation.
Consider two air streams, the first having a mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s at a temperature of 22°C and the second 0.8 kg/s at 28°C. Calculate the resultant temperature of the mixed air stream using the mixing equation.
💡 Hint: Ensure you apply the mixing equation accurately.
