6.15. In an attempt to conserve water and to be awarded LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, a 20

,000-liter cistern has been installed during construction of a new building. The cistern collects water from an HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) system designed to provide 2830 cubic meters of air per minute at 22°C and 50% relative humidity after converting it from ambient conditions (31°C, 70% relative humidity). The collected condensate serves as the source of water for lawn maintenance. Estimate (a) the rate of intake of air at ambient conditions in cubic feet per minute and (b) the hours of operation required to fill the cistern

<u>Explanation:</u>

At temperature is 33^{\circ} C and relative humidity is 86% therefore,  the humidity ratio is 0.0223 and the specific volume is 14.289

At temperature is 33^{\circ} C and Relative humidity is 40% therefore, the humidity ratio is  0.0066 and the specific volume is 13.535.

To calculate the mass of air can be calculated as follows:

\begin{aligned}m _{1} &=\frac{ v }{ v }(1- w ) \\&=\frac{1 \times 10^{5}}{13.535}(1-0.0066) \\&=7339.49 lb / min \\v _{ a } &=\frac{ m _{1} v }{(1- w )} \\v _{ a } &=\frac{7339.49 \times 14.289}{(1-0.0223)} \\v _{ a } &=107266.0 ft ^{3} / min\end{aligned}

Now , we going to calculate the volume,

\begin{aligned}m _{ w } &=\frac{ v _{ a }}{ v _{ a }} w _{ a }-\frac{ v _{ i }}{ v _{ i }} w _{ i } \\&=\frac{107266.0}{14.289} \times 0.0223-\frac{100000}{13.535} \times 0.0066 \\&=118.64 lb / min\end{aligned}

The time which is required to fill the cistern can be calculated as follows:

Time \(=\frac{\text { cistern volume }}{\text { removal water perminute volume }}\)

Now, putting the value in above formula we get,

\(\frac{\left(15 \times 10^{3} L\right) \times\left(0.0353147 ft ^{3} / L \right)}{(118.641 b / min ) \times\left(\frac{1}{62.41 lb / ft ^{3}}\right)}\)\\\(=279.09\) minutes\\\(=4.65\) hours.

Therefore, the hours required to fill the cistern is 4.65 hours.

Gennadij [26K]

Harmonic excitation refers to a sinusoidal external force of a certain frequency applied to a system. ... Resonance occurs when the external excitation has the same frequency as the natural frequency of the system. It leads to large displacements and can cause a system to exceed its elastic range and fail structurally.

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

b

Explanation:

the NEC has expanded the requirements for ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) to protect anyone who plugs into an electrical system. Initially, it was only required for temporary wiring at construction sites and in dwelling unit bathrooms, but in recent years the Code requirements for GFCI protection have expanded to include many other areas, including commercial occupancies, fountains and swimming pools, and temporary installations, to name a few. (For a complete list of 2002 NEC references, see the sidebar below)
