Question

Heat flow q = (mass flow rate) x (enthalpy change)

Prove the following with explanations.

               q(Btu/hr) = 4.5(cfm)(Δh Btu/lb dry air)

q(Btu/hr) = 1.08(cfm)(ΔT) (dry bulb temperature in deg.F)

q(Btu/hr) = 4840(cfm)(Δw lb water/lb dry air)

where (cfm) is the air flow rate in cubic feet per minute.

Also, Show following for liquid water

q(Btu/hr) = 500(gpm)(ΔT deg.F)

where (gpm) is water flow rate in US gallons per minute
