A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be airconditioned with window air-conditioning units of 5-kW cooling capacity

. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate heat at a rate of about 360 kJ/h. There are 10 lightbulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100 W. The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000 kJ/h. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 21°C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units required.

Answer:

About  2 units.

Explanation:

We assume that there is no heat dissipating instrument in the room

Total cooling load of the room is defined from the given below equation

Q_{cooling}=Q_{light}+Q_{people}+Q_{heat gain}

where

Q_{light}= 10*100 W =1 KW

Q_{people} = 40*360 KJ/h= 4 KW

Q_{heat gain}=15000KJ/h= 4.17 KW

Q_{cooling}= 1+4+4.17=9.17 KW

the number of air conditioner unit is =\frac{9.17}{5}=1.83

 which is approximately 2 units

What causes different colors to appear in the sky.
dlinn [17]

Answer:

The colors of the sunset result from a phenomenon called scattering. Molecules and small particles in the atmosphere change the direction of light rays, causing them to scatter. ... The short-wavelength blue and violet are scattered by molecules in the air much more than other colors of the spectrum.

A converging lens of focal length 20 cm is placed in contact with a diverging lens of focal length 30 cm. The focal length of th
kramer

Answer:

The focal lenth (F) =+10.0cm

Explanation:

The formular for combined focal length (F) is given as;

1/f = 1/f_{1} + 1/f_{2}

In this  question,

F1 = 20cm

F2  = -30cm

Plugging the values into the formuar above,

1/f = 1/20 + 1/(-30)

1/f = 0.05 - 0.033[tex]1/f = -0.017f = [tex]1/ -0.017

f = 58.82cm

i.e. the combination behaves as a converging lens (because of the postive sign) of focal length 58.82cm .
