A building has a calculated cooling load of 10 tons, of which 2.5 tons is latent load. The space is to be maintained at 72 F db and 50 percent relative humidity. Ten percent by volume of the air supplied to the space is outdoor air at 100 F db and 50 percent relative humidity. The air supplied to the space cannot be less that 55 F db. Assume barometric pressure at sea level, and using the Psychrometric analysis software, find:
(a) The quantity of air supplied to the space in cfm,
(b) The amounts of return air and outdoor air in cfm,
(c) The conditions and volume flow rate of the air entering the cooling coil, point 1.
(d) The capacity and SHF for the cooling coil.
Attach your design report showing the psychrometric analysis of the problem and conditions of state points.

A closed rigid cylindrical vessel (internal diameter = 2 ft and internal height = 10 ft) has R-134a at x = 0.95 and 40 oF. The vessel is heated up to 100 oF. Assume that heat loss from the vessel is negligible. Kinetic and potential effects are negligible. Determine 1) the final pressure in psi [lbf/in2], 2) the mass of R-134a in lbm, 3) the heat transfer in Btu for this process and discuss its direction (if the heat is added to or rejected from the system), 4) the work transfer in Btu for this process and discuss its direction (if the work is done by or on the system), and 5) draw the process in T-v (temperature-specific volume) diagram.

1. Describe 3 different cases having corrosion by determining the material (the alloys with the codes and composition), describing the component having corrosion, the environment making corrosion to the component. You will give suggestions to the user that will solve the corrosion problem. However, there are some constraints that you need to check. - The reasons for the corrosion should be different for all cases. - The environment, the material, the component should be different for all situations. - The suggestions that solve the corrosion problem should be different for all situations. - There is no option for changing the material.
2. Write a question about composite materials and then solve the question. To do that follow the steps described below. - State the host material and fiber type. - State the composition of the composite material. - State type of fiber arrangement. - Give a reasonable modulus of elasticity for both of the materials. - State the cross-sectional area of the composite material. - State the direction of the fiber. - State the applied stress. After giving all these properties. -Compute the modulus of elasticity of the composite material. -Compute the loading carried by the fiber and the host material. -Compute the strain sustained by the fiber and the host material.
