This document contains information about heat transfer and psychrometrics. It defines key terms like heat, temperature, density, specific heat, latent heat, and sensible heat. It also describes psychrometrics as the study of psychological measurement and psychrometric variables. The document provides examples of converting between different temperature scales and units of heat rating. It includes a multi-step problem calculating the energy required to convert water from liquid to vapor. Finally, it requests creating psychrometric maps for various cities using dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, dew point, relative humidity, and humidity ratio.

1-1. Distinguish between heat and temperature.


• heat is a form of energy, while temperature is how hot or
cold something is.

1-2. Define the properties of:

a. Density
• is the measure of mass per unit volume of a substance.

b. Specific heat
• is the amount of heat that must be added or removed from one
pound of substance to change its temperature by one degree.

c. Specific heat capacity


• is the heat capacity of a sample of the substance divided by the
mass of the sample.

1-3. Distinguish between sensible heat and latent heat.


• Latent heat is related to changes in phase between liquids, gases,
and solids. Sensible heat is related to changes in temperature of a
gas or object with no change in phase.

1-4. Describe psychrometrics.


• Psychometrics is a field of study concerned with the theory and
technique of psychological measurement.

1-5. Describe the psychrometric variables.


• Psychrometric variables are used as units of measurements in
psychometrics.

1-14. A boiler used to heat a school building is rated at 8 000 000 Btu/hr.
Determine its rating in:
a. MBH b. MBH c. kW
KENNETH JAVIER GC32 CENG329

Solution:
1
a. 8 000 000 Btu⁄hr (1000) = 8 000 MBH
1
b. 8 000 000 Btu⁄hr (1000000) = 8 MMBH
1W 1 kW
c. 8 000 000 Btu⁄hr (3.413Btu⁄hr) (1000 W) = 2343.98 kW

1-15. A furnace used to heat a home is rated at 30 kW. Determine its rating in:
a. Btu/hr b. MBH

Solution:
1000 W 3.413Btu⁄hr
a. 30 kW ( )( ) = 102 390 Btu⁄hr
1 kW 1W
1000 W 3.413Btu⁄hr 1
b. 30 kW ( )( ) (1000) = 102.39 MBH
1 kW 1W

1-16. Convert a temperature of 80°F to:


a. °C b. R c. K

Solution:
(𝟖𝟎℉−𝟑𝟐)
a. = 𝟐𝟔. 𝟕℃
𝟏.𝟖
b.
(𝟖𝟎℉−𝟑𝟐)
c. + 𝟐𝟕𝟑. 𝟏𝟓 = 𝟐𝟗𝟗. 𝟖𝟐 𝐊
𝟏.𝟖

1-17. Convert a temperature of 22°C to:


a. °F b. R c. K

Solution:
a. (𝟏. 𝟖 × 𝟐𝟐℃) + 𝟑𝟐 = 𝟕𝟏. 𝟔℉
b. [(𝟏. 𝟖 × 𝟐𝟐℃) + 𝟑𝟐] + 𝟒𝟓𝟗. 𝟔𝟕 = 𝟓𝟑𝟏. 𝟐𝟕 𝐑
c. 𝟐𝟐℃ + 𝟐𝟕𝟑. 𝟏𝟓 = 𝟐𝟗𝟓. 𝟏𝟓 𝐊

1-18. Ten pounds of liquid water is at a temperature of 180°F at standard


atmospheric conditions. Determine the energy required to convert this to water
vapor (steam) at a temperature of 212°F.
KENNETH JAVIER GC32 CENG329

Solution:
Given: m = 10 pounds, T1 = 180°F, T2 = 212°F
Specific heat of water (c) = 1.00 Btu/lb . °F
Latent heat of vaporization (Hvap) = 970.3 Btu/lb

Two heats to consider: energy required to change in temperature from T1 to T2 and from latent
heat of vaporization

Formulas to be used:
➢ 𝑄 = 𝑐𝑚∆𝑇
➢ 𝑄 = 𝑚𝐻𝑣𝑎𝑝

Determine energy required from change in temperature,

𝑄1 = 𝑐𝑚∆𝑇 = (1.00 𝐵𝑡𝑢⁄𝑙𝑏 ∙ ℉)(10 𝑙𝑏)(212℉ − 180℉) = 320 𝐵𝑡𝑢

Determine energy required to from latent heat of vaporization,

𝑄2 = 𝑚𝐻𝑣𝑎𝑝 = (10 𝑙𝑏)(970.3 𝐵𝑡𝑢⁄𝑙𝑏) = 9703 𝐵𝑡𝑢

Determine QT,
𝑄𝑡 = 𝑄1 + 𝑄2 = 320 𝐵𝑡𝑢 + 9703 𝐵𝑡𝑢 = 10 023 𝐵𝑡𝑢
