The owner of Ongwedi Enterprises was approached by a local dealer in air conditioning units. The dealer proposed replacing the old cooling system of Ongwedi Enterprises with a modern, more efficient system. The cost of the new system was quoted at R300 000, but it would save R62 000 per year in electricity costs. The estimated life of the new system is 10 years, with no salvage value expected. All capital projects are required to earn at least the firm’s cost of capital, which is 12%.

Calculate the project’s Internal Rate of Return (IRR). (Round off your answer to two decimal places. (5)

The flow rate of warm air into the air conditioning is 5,000 cfm. An air conditioning system takes outdoor air at 95 degrees F dry-bulb and 70% relative humidity, and discharges it at 60 degrees F dry-bulb and 95% relative humidity. The air conditioning system operates on a vapor compression cycle using R134a between 20 and 200 psia. Refrigerant enters the compressor at 20 degrees F and leaves the compressor at 180 degrees F. Refrigerant enters the evaporator coil at...

In an air conditioning system, the inside and outside conditions of air are 25 °C DBT and 50% RH, and 40 °C DBT and 27 °C WBT, respectively. The room sensible heat ratio is 0.8, while 50% of the room air is rejected to atmosphere and replaced with an equal quantity of fresh air before entering the air conditioning apparatus. If the fresh air added is 100 m3 /min and the air density is 1.2 kg/ m3 with zero air...

In an air-conditioning system, dry air flows over tubes carrying refrigerant R134a. The air is cooled by transferring heat to the R134a; the air enters with a volume flow rate of 0.75 m3 s–1 at 305 K and 100 kPa, and it exits at 290 K and 95 kPa. The R134a enters at 4 bar in a vapor-liquid coexistence state with a quality of 20%; it exits at 4 bar and 30 °C. Ignoring heat transfer at the outer surface...
