ABSTRACT
This experiment was carried out to investigate the exchanges in heat that are
required to achieve the suitable air condition. Other than that, the knowledge that are
obtained during this experiments are process of air conditioning, environmental air
that contains heat and indicators of moisture. The model of air conditioning that was
used in this experiment was PA Hilton model.
INTRODUCTION
PROCEDURES
1. The switch of the air conditioning unit was turned on and the air flow was set to a
convenient value. Then, the pre-heaters to give 2 kW heating is switched.

In this experiment, four trials are carried out to determine the specific heat of air, CPair.
The Cp calculated from the experiment was 1.2412 kJ℃/kg,1.1118 kJ℃/kg, 0.6592
kJ℃/kg and 0.6827 kJ℃/kg for trial 1,2,3,and 4 respectively.The average Cp
calculated from the experiment was 0.9098 kJ℃/kg and the theoritical value is 1.005
kJ℃/kg. The calculated percentage difference between the experimental and
theoritical value is 9.47%. The difference in value of CPair from experimental and
theoritical results from human error while handling this experiment. There are
numerous models of human error. One of the human error that could have happened
during the experiment is parallax error. This error is because of the situation of the
eye is not being perpendicular to the estimating scale when measuring the flow
rate,pressure gauge and even supply voltage. This may cause wrong readings being
recorded. Other than that, another example of human error is the timing reading from
the stop watch. This happens when a person that is responsible to record the time
using a stopwatch and results in delay of pressing the stopwatch. In this way, the
outcome recorded is not accurate and even with a slight delay in pressing the
stopwatch, this could change the outcome results. To overcome this, the individual
should try to accurately stop the stopwatch in time.
CONCLUSION
As a conclusion, the property of the liquid, for example, specific volume and
specific humidity can be measured by knowing two factors, the temperature of dry and
wet bulb using psychometric diagram. From the experiment,It is observed that air
conditioning mass is conserve as the experimental data shows that the mass flow of
heat lost by air is smaller than the mass flow rate of condensation. Overall, the
experiment is a success because the objectives of the experiment is achieved.
