Heat flows through a wall of a house at a steady-state on a day when the temperature of the outdoor air is 2°C and the air inside the house is maintained at 27°C.

A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be air-conditioned with window air-conditioning units of 5-kW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate heat at a rate of about 360kJ/h. There are 10 light bulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100W. The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000kJ/h. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 21°C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units required.
A classroom type room with 45students taking an exam in thermodynamics is expected to release a body heat of about 8kJ/hr per person.
