Your task is to devise a system that is able to accomplish the desired cooling requirements. The project can be divided into several steps: 1- Load estimation (lights, people, equipment, transmission through walls and roof...): discuss variation throughout the day and critical months of the year 2- Quantity and state of cooling air to be distributed through the main duct. 3- Duct and fan (optional) Sizing 4- Refrigeration System Design: this system uses refrigerant (R290) as the working fluid and could be a simple vapour compression cycle. The main constraint about this system is that it has to provide the cooling load calculated in part 1 but for 10 classrooms located on one floor of the school. Take assumptions when necessary and clearly state and justify taken assumptions in any of the design stages.

1. Consider water flowing to three faucets in a building through the very simple plumbing network shown below. Every section of pipe in the figure is 25 ft long. All of the piping is nominal half-inch type L copper piping. The inlet pressure to the main pipe is constant at 50psi and the pressure of the water leaving each faucet is 0 psi. The water has a temperature of 140°F. For the purposes of this analysis assume that there are no pressure losses in the fittings (elbows, tees, etc.) and that the only pressure losses are given by the following equation. \Delta P=f\left(\frac{L}{D}\right)\left(\frac{\rho V^{2}}{2}\right) Where f = 0.02, L is the length of pipe, D is the pipe diameter, V is the water velocity, and is the water density. What is the water flow rate in gallons per minute from each faucet A, B,and C?

Determine the mass flow rate of the moist air at the inlet. D. Determine the relative humidity at the exit.

A horizontal photovoltaic (PV) collector absorbs solar radiation and produces electricity.While 10% of the solar power is converted to electricity, the remaining 90% is lost to the atmosphere by natural convection to the ambient air and radiation to the sky. The sky has an effective temperature of 270 K and the ambient air has a temperature of 310 K. The PV has an emissivity of 0.9. The natural convection from the PV surface is given by the following equation. \frac{h L}{k}=0.15 R a^{0.33} R a=\frac{g\left(T_{P V}-T_{a i r}\right) L^{3}}{v^{2} T_{a i r}} P r Where g is the acceleration of gravity, L is the length of the PV array (L = 25 ft), v is the kinematic viscosity of air, k is the thermal conductivity of air, and Pr is the Pr and tl number. a.
