## **1. 10 lbs of ice from 10°F to steam at 400°F in 20 minutes – Btu/hr required**
**Steps:**
- Heat ice from 10°F to 32°F (sensible)
- Melt ice at 32°F (latent)
- Heat water from 32°F to 212°F (sensible)
- Vaporize water at 212°F (latent)
- Heat steam from 212°F to 400°F (sensible)
**Constants:**
- Specific heat of ice: **0.5 Btu/lb·°F**
- Latent heat of fusion: **144 Btu/lb**
- Specific heat of water: **1 Btu/lb·°F**
- Latent heat of vaporization: **970 Btu/lb**
- Specific heat of steam: **0.48 Btu/lb·°F**
### **Stepwise Calculation:**
#### **1. Ice from 10°F to 32°F**
\[
Q_1 = 10\,\text{lb} \times 0.5\,\text{Btu/lb·°F} \times (32-10)°F = 10 \times 0.5 \times 22 = 110\,\text{Btu}
\]
#### **2. Melt ice at 32°F**
\[
Q_2 = 10\,\text{lb} \times 144\,\text{Btu/lb} = 1,440\,\text{Btu}
\]
#### **3. Water from 32°F to 212°F**
\[
Q_3 = 10\,\text{lb} \times 1\,\text{Btu/lb·°F} \times (212-32)°F = 10 \times 1 \times 180 = 1,800\,\text{Btu}
\]
#### **4. Vaporize water at 212°F**
\[
Q_4 = 10\,\text{lb} \times 970\,\text{Btu/lb} = 9,700\,\text{Btu}
\]
#### **5. Steam from 212°F to 400°F**
\[
Q_5 = 10\,\text{lb} \times 0.48\,\text{Btu/lb·°F} \times (400-212)°F = 10 \times 0.48 \times 188 = 902.4\,\text{Btu}
\]
#### **Total Btu required:**
\[
Q_{total} = Q_1 + Q_2 + Q_3 + Q_4 + Q_5 = 110 + 1,440 + 1,800 + 9,700 + 902.4 = 13,952.4\,\text{Btu}
\]
#### **Convert to Btu/hr (20 minutes = 1/3 hour):**
\[
\text{Btu/hr} = \frac{13,952.4\,\text{Btu}}{1/3\,\text{hr}} = 13,952.4 \times 3 = \boxed{41,857\,\text{Btu/hr}}
\]

## **2. 20 lbs of ice from 15°F to steam at 425°F in 1 hour – Btu/hr required**
### **Stepwise Calculation:**
#### **1. Ice from 15°F to 32°F**
\[
Q_1 = 20\,\text{lb} \times 0.5\,\text{Btu/lb·°F} \times (32-15)°F = 20 \times 0.5 \times 17 = 170\,\text{Btu}
\]
#### **2. Melt ice at 32°F**
\[
Q_2 = 20\,\text{lb} \times 144\,\text{Btu/lb} = 2,880\,\text{Btu}
\]
#### **3. Water from 32°F to 212°F**
\[
Q_3 = 20\,\text{lb} \times 1\,\text{Btu/lb·°F} \times (212-32)°F = 20 \times 1 \times 180 = 3,600\,\text{Btu}
\]
#### **4. Vaporize water at 212°F**
\[
Q_4 = 20\,\text{lb} \times 970\,\text{Btu/lb} = 19,400\,\text{Btu}
\]
#### **5. Steam from 212°F to 425°F**
\[
Q_5 = 20\,\text{lb} \times 0.48\,\text{Btu/lb·°F} \times (425-212)°F = 20 \times 0.48 \times 213 = 2,044.8\,\text{Btu}
\]
#### **Total Btu required:**
\[
Q_{total} = Q_1 + Q_2 + Q_3 + Q_4 + Q_5 = 170 + 2,880 + 3,600 + 19,400 + 2,044.8 = 28,094.8\,\text{Btu}
\]
#### **Convert to Btu/hr (1 hour):**
\[
\text{Btu/hr} = 28,094.8\,\text{Btu/hr}
\]

## **3. Sensible, Latent, and Total Loads for Ventilation Air**
**Given:**
- **CFM:** 15
- **Outdoor:** 95°F, 40% RH, humidity ratio = 0.0088 lb/lb
- **Indoor:** 68°F, 50% RH, humidity ratio = 0.0073 lb/lb
### **A. Find mass flow rate of dry air:**
\[
\dot{m}_{da} = \frac{CFM \times 60}{13.33} \approx \frac{15 \times 60}{13.33} = 67.5\,\text{ft}^3/\text{hr} / 13.33 \approx 5.06\,\text{lb dry air/hr}
\]
Or, per minute:
\[
\dot{m}_{da} = \frac{15}{13.33} = 1.125\,\text{lb dry air/min}
\]
But for **hourly load**, use **5.06 lb/hr**.
### **B. Sensible Load**
\[
Q_{sens} = 1.08 \times CFM \times (T_{out} - T_{in})
\]
\[
Q_{sens} = 1.08 \times 15 \times (95 - 68) = 1.08 \times 15 \times 27 = 1.08 \times 405 = \boxed{437.4\,\text{Btu/hr}}
\]
### **C. Latent Load**
\[
Q_{lat} = 4840 \times CFM \times (\text{W}_{out} - \text{W}_{in})
\]
Where W is in lb/lb.
\[
Q_{lat} = 4840 \times 15 \times (0.0088 - 0.0073) = 4840 \times 15 \times 0.0015 = 4840 \times 0.0225 = \boxed{108.9\,\text{Btu/hr}}
\]
### **D. Total Load**
\[
Q_{total} = Q_{sens} + Q_{lat} = 437.4 + 108.9 = \boxed{546.3\,\text{Btu/hr}}
\]
