 Q2-= 2.0 m3/s
 Q3 = 0.75 m3/s
 Q5 = 0.75 m3/s

Required:
a.) mt
b.) QSroom3 & QLroom3
c.) QLroom4
d.) Duct sizes

Solution:

a.) mt
mt = ρa ( Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4 + Q5 )
From table 6-2 by Stoecker @20°C; ρ = 1.2061 kg/m3
For Q4:
Qs4
Q4 = 1.0062 (𝑡𝑠−𝑡𝑟)ρ

10kw
Q4 =
1.0062 (25−20)ρ

Q4ρa = 1.988 m3/s

mt = ρa ( Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4 + Q5 )
mt = (1.2041kg/m3) (1+0.75+2+0.75+1.988) m3/s

mt = 7.812 kg/s
b.) QSroom3

Qs3 = 1.0062(md3)(tr-ts)

Room 3: Q3 = 2.0m3/s

From table @20°C , ρ = 1.204

md3 = Q3ρa

md3 = (2.0kg/s)(1.204kg/m3)

md3 = 2.4082 kg/s

QSroom3 = 1.0062(m)(tr-ts)

QSroom3 = 1.0062(2.4082kg/s)(25-20)

QSroom3 = 12.116Kw

QLroom3

QLroom3 = 1.0062(md3)(Wr-Ws)

Wr = 0.0126 kg/kg

Ws = 0.0058 kg/kg

QSroom3 = 1.0062(2.4082kg/s)(0.0126-0.0058)kg/kg

QSroom3 = 40.956Kw

c.) QLroom4

QLroom4 = 2501 (m)(Wr-Ws)

QLroom4 = 2501 (1.988kg/s)(0.0126-0.0058kg/s)

QLroom4 = 33.8095Kw
d.) Duct sizes of the ducting systems

H=0.4836Deqf

W = 4H

P / m = 1.5 Pa/m

QAE = Q1 + QBG = 6.151

QBG = QHI + QCF = 5.151m3/s

QHI = Q4 + Q5 = 1.651 + 0.75 =2.401 m3/s

QCF = QD + Q2 = 2.75m3/s

QD = Q3 = 2.0 m3/s

F=0.75 , E=1.0 , D=2.0 , H=1.651 , I=0.75

C = F+D = 2.75

B = C+G = 5.151

G = I+H = 2.401

A = E + B = 6.151

Therefore, from 6-2 p.107 (Stoecker) Duct Sizing Chart

QAE = 6.151m3/s , P / m = 1.5 Pa/m , Deqf = 0.83m

H=0.4836(0.83) = 0.401m

W = 4(0.401) = 1.606m

HxW = 0.401m x 1.606m

:

QBG = 5.151 m3/s @ P / m = 1.5 Pa/m , Deqf = 0.78m

H=0.4836(0.78)=0.377

W=4(0.377)=1.509

HxW= 0.377m x 1.509m

QHI = 2.401 m3/s @ P / m = 1.5 Pa/m , Deqf = 0.57m

H=0.276

W=1.103

HxW= 0.276m x 1.103m

QCF = 2.75 m3/s @ P / m = 1.5 Pa/m , Deqf = 0.65m

H=0.314

W=1.257

HxW = 0.314m x 1.257m

QD = 2.0 m3/s @ P / m = 1.5 Pa/m , Deqf = 0.52m

H=0.251

W=1.006

HxW = 0.251m x 1.006m
