A building space is to be maintained at 78F dry-bulb temperature. The total cooling load on the space has been calculated to be 30,000 Btu/hr of which 27,000 Btu/hr is sensible heat gain. Supply air is delivered to the space at 58F and 90% RH. The outdoor air mass flow rate is 25% of the total supply mass flow rate. Outdoor conditions are 80F and 55% RH. Given information P atm T sa RH sa T ra T oa RH oa OA frac Q sen Q tot = 14.696 = 58 = 0.9 = 78 = 80 = 0.55 = 0.25 = 27000 = 30000

Calculate properties of outdoor and return air W sa h sa h oa W oa v oa cp = 'AirH2O' , T = T sa , R = RH sa , P = P atm
