PREFACE
This manual consists of solutions for the text problems, Chapters 1
through 15. Many of the problems with a design orientation have more

than one acceptable solution. Therefore, when an acceptable solution


may be quite variable or closely follows an example, the solution may be
omitted or only general guidelines given.

16

The degree of difficulty and length of the problems vary

considerably. In many cases the problem statement should be discussed


in class prior to assignment. This manual should be helpful in this
respect.

The use of computer software is strongly encouraged. Many

problems can be solved by hand or computer calculations. Most of these


problems are in Chapters 3, 7, 8, 10, 12 and 14. A number of problems

are designed for solution using the software distributed with the website.

A great effort has been made to eliminate errors in the solutions;


however, some probably still exist. Please see the addendum to this

manual for assumptions used in problems 6-10, 7-9, 7-14, 8-25, and 8-26.
The authors would appreciate notification of any errors discovered.

ADDENDUM
to
Solutions Manual for McQuiston, HVAC 6e
Problem 6-10

For the floor, it is unclear what 2 in. vertical edge insulation means (whether 2 in. is the
thickness of insulation or the depth of the edge insulated).
The solution assumes that the insulation has R-value of 5.4 hr-ft-F/Btu and the
depth of the edge is 2 ft.

For the door, Table 5-8 in the 6th edition does not have U-value for the wood storm door
and there are three types of the wood door with 1 in. thickness.
The solution assumes that the doors are panel doors with metal storm door; hence,
its U-value is 0.28 But/hr-ft-F.

16
Problem 7-9

The standard time zone for Ottawa, Ontario is Eastern Standard Time instead of Central
Standard Time.
The solution uses Eastern Standard Time.

Problem 7-14

R
FM

For the specified location, the sunset occurs before 9:00 p.m. CDST on June 21.
The solution uses 8:00 p.m. CDST instead of 9:00 p.m.

Problems 8-25 and 8-26

Both problems do not specify the window orientation.


The solutions assume the west-facing window for both problems.

Table 8-20

Recommended radiative and convective fractions for solar heat gains should be revised
since the 6th edition uses the SHGC values in the calculation of the (combined) solar heat
gain for the RTS method.
Example 8-16

The example actually uses 90%/10% of radiative/convective split of the combined solar
heat gain. However, the text (page 270) says 100%/0% for the transmitted solar heat gain
and 63%/37% for the absorbed solar heat gain.

Problems 8-25 and 8-26
The solutions for both problems use 90%/10% for the combined solar heat gain.
Example 9-1
The calculation for this example should be

M
F=

(24)(3725)(80,000)(0.66)
= 122,606 .
(0.55)(70 0)(1000)

(Changing 13 to 24 and 122790 to 122606).

Too much air motion in the cold winter months tends to cause drafts and
make people uncomfortable. Air velocity just sufficient to prevent large

temperature gradients from floor to ceiling is best for winter. The opposite
is true for hot summer months. Higher air velocity tends to compensate
for high temperature and humidity.

(a) This type of space will require a high ventilation (supply air)

rate to handle the load, air cleanliness is not the main criterion.
Therefore, a low efficiency filter with low pressure drop is

acceptable. From table 4-2, assume occupancy will be about 30


persons / 1000 ft2. So the total design occupancy is 90

persons. The design will be based on this occupancy although


the cooling requirements may dictate a larger supply air rate.

(b) A higher efficiency would reduce the total amount of air and
reduce the required face area. However this is not desirable in

this case. First the filter system would have to be enlarged to


handle the greater amount of air. A lower filter efficiency could

Given: Problem 7-20 with a long 2 ft overhang located 2 ft above the top of
the window.
For this problem, bo for overhang is the sum of the overhang depth and the
setback; hence, bo = 2+1 = 3 ft.

R
FM

(a) The vertically shaded dimension on the window due to the overhang
can be calculated by:

y0 = b0 tan / cos yow

where yo-w is the distance of the overhang above the window. Therefore,
yo = (3 ft.)*tan(43.82)/cos(73.73) - 2 = 8.27 ft.

Since yo is greater than H, the window is completely shaded.

Therefore, the percentage of the window that is shaded is 100%.


(b) Similarly, yo = (3 ft.)* tan(78.13)/cos(0.0) 2 = 12.27 ft.

Since yo is greater than H, the window is completely shaded.

Therefore, the percentage of the window that is shaded is 100%.

a) The heat gain is generally greater than the cooling load during the
morning hours when sunlight first strikes a building and the internal
loads first begin. Heat is being stored in the building structure,
furnishings, etc.
b) Late at night when occupants are not present, lights and equipment are
off and solar radiation is zero, the building gives up stored heat to the
air, which the equipment removes as cooling load. The heat gain may
be quite small, zero, or negative.
c) At some time during the day, probably early evening, as heat gain is
decreasing, and equilibrium condition can be established when heat
gain and cooling load are equal. Or, some interior zones, where the
cooling load is driven only by internal heat gains may reach equilibrium if
the heat gain remains constant for a number of hours.

First, apply the exterior convective heat transfer correlation, Equation 818a, to determine hc. Assume the 15 mph wind is windward on the surface,
which results in hc = 2.3 Btu/(h-ft2-F).
Estimate the sky temperature as 10.8 R below the outdoor ambient
temperature = 546.87 R. Then estimate the effective sky temperature for a
vertical surface from Equation 8-25
tsky, = cos (90/2)tsky +(1-cos(90/2))to = 550.0 R

Make an initial guess at the surface temperature, say 120 F = 579.67 R,
and determine the surface-to-sky and surface-to-ground radiation
coefficients from Eqns. 8-22 and 8-23:
hr,sky= 0.556 Btu/(h-ft2-F) hr,grd= 0.568 Btu/(h-ft2-F)

Then, use Equation 8-29 to determine a new and better estimate of the
exterior surface temperature:
tos= 146.96 F

Then repeat the calculation of the radiation coefficients and surface


temperature.

16

hr,sky= 0.598 Btu/(h-ft2-F) hr,grd= 0.610 Btu/(h-ft2-F) tos= 145.54 F


And again:

hr,sky= 0.596 Btu/(h-ft2-F) hr,grd= 0.607 Btu/(h-ft2-F) tos= 145.62 F


And again:

R
FM

hr,sky= 0.596 Btu/(h-ft2-F) hr,grd= 0.608 Btu/(h-ft2-F) tos= 145.61 F

At which point, we may consider the solution essentially converged. The


conduction heat flux is then:
qconduction=U(tos-tis) = 0.1*(145.61-72)= 7.36 Btu/(h-ft2)
8-10

This problem follows the same solution approach as Problem 8-9, except
that, first, the solar irradiation must be determined for each hour, and
second, the heat balance must be performed for each hour. The solar
irradiation is obtained in the same manner as the solution for Problem 7-17.

*Unit of Irradiation is Btu/hr-ft

The hourly dry-bulb temperature is calculated using Equation 8-2. Here,


the hour nearest to the local solar time has been used to determine the
temperature. A spreadsheet is used to obtain the solution. Iteration is
accomplished by simply pasting the calculated values of Tos back into the
Tos, estimated column.

Because the wall is lightweight, the results converge rapidly.

This problem is solved in the same way as the previous problem. Note that
the additional insulation substantially reduces the conduction heat flux, as
expected. The results (conduction heat fluxes for each hour in Btu/(hr-ft2))

The solution to this problem is similar to that of Problem 8-9, except that to
estimate the maximum possible surface temperature, the surface may be
assumed to be adiabatic, and U is then zero. Also, the surface-to-ground
radiation coefficient is zero, and no correction is necessary for the sky
temperature, as the surface is assumed to be horizontal. Assume the wind
is windward, hc= 1.3 Btu/(h-ft2-F). Then, the final converged answer for the
surface temperature is:

At 4:00 p.m., 70 people are present. Assuming seated, light office work,
the sensible heat gain per person is 245 Btu/hr (72 W) and the latent heat
gain per person is 200 Btu/hr (59 W).
Sensible heat gain = 245 Btu/hr/person x 70 people = 17150 Btu/hr.
Latent heat gain = 200 Btu/hr/person x 70 people = 14000 Btu/hr.

Then, compute the radiant interchange factor and radiation heat transfer
coefficient using Eqns. 8-38 and 8-39. Using Eqn. 8-40, estimate the
radiative heat flux from each surface (qrad), then determine the radiative
heat transfer from each surface (Qrad). Then, compute the total radiative
heat transfer from all surfaces = -69,769.5 Btu/hr. Divide by the total
surface area, 2623.4 ft2, to get the balancing factor, -26.6 Btu/(hr-ft2), which
must be subtracted from the previously calculated heat flux from each
surface to determine the balanced radiation heat flux from each surface
(qrad/bal). Multiply by the area to determine the radiation heat transfer from
each surface (Qrad/bal). Check to see that they now sum to zero.

Note that the radiative heat fluxes from surfaces 1 and 2, and to surface 5
are significantly lower. (The heat flux incident on surface 5 has been
reduced by 85%.) The catch is that in real life, everything else does not
remain the same. In particular, the temperatures would change
significantly.

As shown in the above table, using the regular window would result in
slightly higher cooling loads than using the low-e window. The following
figure illustrates the increase in cooling loads due to changing the type of
window from the low-e window to the regular window.

Solution to be provided by an instructor.


8-30

First, the solar irradiation must be determined and is the same as that
shown for Problem 8-10. Then, the hourly dry bulb temperature is
calculated using Equation 8-2. Here, the hour nearest to the local solar
time has been used to determine the temperature. Finally, the sol-air
temperature is calculated using Equation 8-63 with the thermal radiation
correction term being zero for a vertical surface.

Using the simplified approach, the solution procedure is the same as that of
Problem 7-27. First, we need to know angle of incidence and solar
irradiation. Assuming a west-facing window, the incidence angle and solar
irradiation for Albuquerque, NM on a clear July 21 day at 3:00 pm solar
time are (see solution in Problem 8-10 for reference)
Angle of Incidence: = 65.0 deg.,
Direct Solar Irradiation: GD = 118.6 Btu/hr-ft,

Diffuse Solar Irradiation: Gd + GR = 30.6 + 28.9 = 59.4 Btu/hr-ft
Then, the area of the glazing and of the frame is calculated to be 27.2 ft
and 4.8 ft, respectively.

From Table 7-3, solar heat gain coefficients for the glazing system ID 5b
are
SHGGgD(65) = 0.515 and SHGGgd = 0.60.

From Table 5-2, the outside surface conductance may be estimated to be


4.0 Btu/hr-ft-F.

16

From Table 5-6, the U-value for the fixed, double glazed window having
aluminum-clad wood/vinyl frame with insulated spacers is 0.48 Btu/hr-ft-F.
From Table 7-1, solar absorptance of the vinyl frame painted white is 0.26.
Assuming the window with no setback (Aframe = Asurf), the SHGC for the
frame can be calculated using Eq. 7-31 as:
SHGGf = 0.26*(0.48/4.0) = 0.031.

For an unshaded window, the total solar heat gain is calculated using Eq.
7-32 as:

q SHG = (0.515*27.2 + 0.031*4.8)*118.6

+ (0.60*27.2 + 0.031*4.8)*59.4 = 2657.2 Btu/hr.

8-39

This problem uses the same solution procedure as the previous problem.
Assuming a south-facing window, the incidence angle and solar irradiation
for Boise, ID on a clear July 21 day at 3:00 pm solar time are (see solution
in Problem 8-11 for reference)

Angle of Incidence: = 68.8 deg.,


Direct Solar Irradiation: GD = 101.6 Btu/hr-ft,
Diffuse Solar Irradiation: Gd + GR = 29.0 + 28.9 = 57.9 Btu/hr-ft, and

The area of the glazing and of the frame is the same as that calculated in
Problem 8-38.

From Table 7-3, solar heat gain coefficients for the glazing system ID 29a
are
SHGGgD(68.8) = 0.408 and SHGGgd = 0.57.
From Table 5-6, the U-value for the fixed, triple glazed window having
aluminum-clad wood/vinyl frame with insulated spacers is 0.44 Btu/hr-ft-F.
The outside surface conductance and solar absorptance of the frame are
assumed to be the same as those in Problem 8-38.

16

Assuming the window with no setback (Aframe = Asurf), the SHGC for the
frame can be calculated using Eq. 7-31 as:
SHGGf = 0.26*(0.44/4.0) = 0.029.

For an unshaded window, the total solar heat gain is calculated using Eq.
7-32 as:

R
FM

q SHG = (0.408*27.2 + 0.029*4.8)*101.6

+ (0.57*27.2 + 0.029*4.8)*57.9 = 2047.4 Btu/hr.

8-40

First, determine conduction heat gain by multiplying fluxes from Problem 833 by the surface area, 800 ft2. Then, from Table 8-20, select the
radiative/convective split to be 63%/37%. Apply the split to determine the
convective and radiative heat gains. Then, apply Equation 8-67 to the
radiative heat gains to determine the radiative cooling load. Sum the
radiative cooling load and the convective heat gain to get the cooling load.

First, determine conduction heat gain by multiplying fluxes from Problem 835 by the surface area, 1000 ft2. Then, from Table 8-20, select the
radiative/convective split to be 84%/16%. Apply the split to determine the
convective and radiative heat gains. Then, apply Equation 8-67 to the
radiative heat gains to determine the radiative cooling load. Sum the
radiative cooling load and the convective heat gain to get the cooling load.

First, the hourly solar heat gains are determined using the same solution
procedure shown in Problem 8-38. The results are shown below. Note
that the solar irradiation on the window is the same as that shown in
Problem 8-10. Also, note that the calculated solar gain at 3:00 p.m. is
slightly different from that shown in Problem 8-38 due to rounding errors.

In the original RTS methodology, two types of radiant time factors were
utilized to convert solar heat gains into cooling loads. The Solar-RTS was
used to convert the beam transmitted solar gain while the Nonsolar-RTS
was used to convert all other solar gains. However, to simplify the
calculations, only one RTS (Nonsolar-RTS) is used in this edition. Since
the calculated solar heat gains include both transmitted and absorbed solar
gains, the recommended radiative and convective splits shown in Table 820 would not be applicable. For this problem, it is assumed that the
radiative fraction of the combined solar heat gain is about 0.9. Therefore,

the radiative/convective split is 90%/10%. Then, apply the split to
determine the convective and radiative heat gains and apply Equation 8-67
to the radiative heat gains to determine the radiative cooling load. And,
finally, sum the radiative cooling load and the convective heat gain to get
the cooling load.

Heat gain to the space = 0.8 x 6000 W = 4800 W, assumed 59% radiative,
41% convective, from Table 8-20. The sensible loads are then determined
from the radiative and convective heat gains using Equation 8-67 and the
radiant time factors from Table 8-21, as shown below. There are no latent
cooling loads.

The schedule described in problem 8-18 is reduced to the number of


people present per hour in the table below. Assuming seated, light office
work, the sensible heat gain per person is 245 Btu/hr (72 W) and the latent
heat gain per person is 200 Btu/hr (59 W). Internal heat gains from
occupants are assumed to be 70% radiative. The latent cooling loads are
equivalent to the latent heat gains shown in the table.
The sensible loads are then determined from the radiative and convective
heat gains using Equation 8-67 and the radiant time factors from Table 821, as shown below.
As is readily evident from the plot, the heavyweight zone significantly
damps the response to the heat gains.

From Table 9-1, the number of average degree day is 6283.


From Fig. 9-1, CD = 0.60
Using Eq. 9-2,

16
F=

(24hr / day)(6283F day)(225,000Btu / hr)(0.60)


= 438,727 std ft3
(0.8)(70 12F )(1000Btu / stdft)

Or F = 438.7 mcf of natural gas

F=

(24hr / day)(6283F day)(225,000Btu / hr)(0.60)


= 102,867 kW-hr
(1.0)(70 12F )(3412Btu / kW hr)

$Elec = 102,867(0.10) = $10,287


$Gas = 438.7(4.5) = $1,974

$Elec $Gas 10287 1974


=

$Gas

or the electric cost is about 5.2 times as much.

(102,867kW hr)(3412Btu / kW hr)


Source energy using elec. =
(0.33)(1000Btu / stdft)(1000stdft / mcf )
= 1063.6 mcf
Source energy using gas = 438.7 mcf

So,

That is elec. heat uses 242% more source energy.

The following are information for Washington, DC.


From Table 9-1, the number of average degree day is 4224.
From Fig. 9-1, CD = 0.62.
From Table B-1a, the outdoor temperature is 20 F.
For energy efficient furnace, assume 85% efficiency factor.
Using Eq. 9-2,

16
F=

(24hr / day)(4224F day)(120,000Btu / hr)(0.62)


= 177,468 std ft3

A ceiling type diffuser system has the ability to handle large

diffuses the high velocity jet in a short distance.

satisfactory heating performance. Any other type of system

(b) An overhead type system would be preferred because of the
greater need for cooling during the summer and less need
for heat during the winter.

A perimeter type system would be the best choice. This type

11-7.

system is required to do a good job of heating. A spreading jet


should be used when heating and a nonspreading jet should
be used when cooling.

16
11-8.

Some kind of overhead system would be preferable since

cooling would be the dominant mode of operation. However,


ceiling diffusers with radial discharge would not be required due
to a low volume of circulated air. A high side wall type of system
or ceiling diffusers with discharge in only one or two directions

with a large throw would be preferred. This would give the


maximum air motion with a small amount of circulated air.

3-Noise criteria (NC) should usually be less than 30.
4-Be sure that the total pressure required is compatible
with the pressure characteristics of the system. For example,
a small commercial system may have a fan that produces only

about 0.6 in. wg. total pressure while a large commercial system
may operated at 2-5 in. wg. total pressure. The diffuser total

pressure losses should be no more than about 10% of the


fan total pressure.

Guidelines:
1-Locate grilles in ceiling near the inside wall.
2-Noise criteria (NC) should be less than 30.
3-The negative static pressure should be held to minimum,
especially for light commercial systems with small fans.

Core velocities of less than 500 ft/min will usually yield a


quiet system with a reasonably low-pressure loss. Higher
velocities and pressure loss may be tolerated with heavy
commercial applications.

With the equal friction method, every branch should have a damper for
balancing purposes.

Actual total pressure loss:

Po = P1 + P2 + P3 + P4 + P5 + Pd5
Po = 0.146 in. wg.

Note that run 1-2-3-4-7 actually has the greatest loss in total pressure
but the difference is not significant. Use Po = 0.15 in. wg.

Note that the resulting total pressures losses turn out to be:

(Po)B = 0.144 in.wg.; (Po)A = 0.157 in. wg.; (Po)C = 0.161 in. wg.

Within the accuracy of the calculation these are approximately equal.


It may be necessary to use a damper in branch B, sec. 8.

EXAMPLE WS3-1
A space is to be conditioned with a system as shown in Figure WS3-1. The space
temperature and relative humidity (RH) are 75 F (24 C) db and 50 % respectively. The cooling

load for the space is 68,000 Btu/hr (20 kW) with a SHF of 0.75. Outdoor air at 99 F (37 C) and
40 % RH is one third of the amount of air supplied to the space. The coil ADP is 50 F (10 C)
and air is supplied to the space at 80 % RH. The sum of the return fan power and heat gain to the
return ducts is estimated to be 4 horsepower (3 kW). (a) Find the quantity and state of the air

16

supplied to the space. (b) Determine the combined power for the supply fan and the supply ducts
heat gain. (c) Determine the capacity of the cooling coil.

SOLUTION SI

(a) Using the attached Chart 1 (SI) which has been drawn using the ASHRAE

R
FM

Psychrometric Analysis program, the supply air required is found by locating states 4 and 3 and
laying out line 4-3 for a SHF of 0.75. Then
q = m a 3 (i 4 i3 ) =

Q 3
(i4 i3 )
v3

v3 = 0.82 m /kg; i 4 = 47.9 kJ/kg; i 3 = 34.2 kJ/kg

then

Q 3 =

qv3
20 (0.82 )
3
=
= 1.20 m /s
(i4 i3 ) (47.9 34.2)

(b) State 5, the condition of the air leaving the return fan, is located horizonally to the right of

point 4 and is defined by the heat gain and return fan power. For simplicity it is assumed that all
of the return air is recirculated to the mixing box. Actually some of the return air is exhausted.
q 45 = m a (i5 i 4 ) or i5 =

q 45

USE IT WITH YOUR MIND

M16FMR

 a = 1.20 0.82 = 1.46 kg/s


q 45 = 3.0 kW; m
i5 = (3.0 1.46 ) + 47.9 = 50 kJ/kg

Then state 5 is located at approximately 26.0 C db and 17.7 C wb. State 0 can now be plotted on
Chart 1 and the mixing process solved for state 1 which lies one third of the distance from state 5

to state 0 on a straight line. Using states 1 and the coil ADP, the coil process may be drawn.
State 2 lies horizonally to the left of state 3 at the intersection of the coil process. Note that a
path has been assumed for the coil process that actually depends on the coil design and the type
and temperature of the cooling medium. However, for a thermodynamic analysis, only the end

16

points of the process are relevant and a straight line from 1 to ADP is sufficient. The sum of the
supply fan power and the supply duct heat gain is then

q 23 = q fan + q 2 '3 = m a (i3 i 2 ); i 2 = 32.2 kJ/kg

and

q 23 = 1.46(34.2 32.2 ) = 2.92 kW

R
FM

(c)The total coil capacity is

q12 = m a (i1 i 2 ); i1 = 59.2 kJ/kg

q12 = 1.46 (59.2 32.2) = 39.4 kW

EXAMPLE WS3-2
A system is designed with a coil that cools and dehumidifies air from 80 F (27 C) db and
67 F (19 C) wb to 51.5 F (11 C) db and 90 % RH for supply to the space. The space is to be
maintained at 75 F (24 C) db and 50 % RH. There are off-design periods when the cooling load

changes and the SHF is estimated to be 0.6. The flow rate of the air remains constant. (a)
Assume the cooling coil operates as given above at all times, and determine the amount of reheat
required and the state of the air supplied to the space for the off-design periods. (b) Compare the

16

space cooling load for the two different conditions. Assume standard sea level pressure.

SOLUTION IP

The given design conditions are shown on Chart 1 (IP) as 1-2 for the coil and 2-4 for the

space. The chart has been drawn using the ASHRAE Psychrometric analysis program. Note that

R
FM

the program assumes a path for the coil process that actually depends on the coil design and the
type and temperature of the cooling medium, not known in this case. The space SHF is about

0.71 for the design condition. Process 3-4 for the off-design period is laid out from state 4 for a
SHF of 0.6. Then the reheat process is 2-3 and the air enters the space at 61 F db and 64 % RH
determined by the intersection of processes 2-3 and 3-4.
(a) The amount of reheat per unit mass of dry air is
q 23 = (i3 i 2 ) = c pa (t 3 t 2 )

q 23 = 0.244(61 51.5) = 2.32 Btu/lbma

(b) The design cooling load is

q 24 = (i 4 i 2 )

i 2 = 20.3 Btu/lbma and i 4 = 28.2 Btu/lbma

q 24 = (28.2 20.3) = 7.9 Btu/lbma

1
USE IT WITH YOUR MIND

M16FMR
m16fmr@hotmail.co.uk

The cooling load for the off-design period is


q 34 = (i 4 i3 )

i3 = 22.6 Btu/lbma

q 34 = (28.2 22.6 ) = 5.6 Btu/lbma

The cooling load for the off-design period is about 29 % less than the design cooling load.

However the coil load is the same for both cases.

EXAMPLE WS3-3
A multizone air handler similar to the one shown in Figure 2-4 operates with 4,000 cfm
(1.9 m3/s) of air entering at 85 F (29 C) db and 70 F (21 C) wb temperature. Three fourths of the

air flows through the inactive heating coil while the air flowing over the cooling coil leaves at 52
F (11 C) db and 50 F (10 C) wb temperature. Determine the condition of the mixed air supplied
to the space to include the volume flow rate. Show the process on a psychrometric chart.
Assume standard sea level pressure.

16
SOLUTION IP

This is a classical adiabatic mixing problem involving the air leaving the heating and

cooling coils that may be solved using a psychrometric chart or a computer program. Using the
adiabatic mixing option of the ASHRAE Psychrometric program, the result for the mixed

R
FM

condition is 76.3 F db and 65.5 F wb with an enthalpy and humidity ratio of 30.4 Btu/lbma and
0.0110 lbmv/lbma respectively.

Using Chart 1 (IP) and locating the mixed state 3 three fourths of the distance from point
2 to point 1 on a straight line results in state 3 at 77 F db and 66 F wb with enthalpy of 30.7 and
humidity ratio of 0.0111 lbmv/lbma. The results compare favorably. To determine the leaving
volume flow rate the specific volumes of the entering and mixed air are required. Using the

ASHRAE program v1 is 14.0 ft3/lbma and v3 is 13.75 ft3/lbma. Alternately, the specific volumes
may be estimated from Chart 1a as v1 = 14.0 ft3/lbma and v3 = 13.76 ft3/lbma. Then from the
program

v
13.75
Q 3 = Q 1 3 = 4000
= 3929 cfm
v1
14.0

v

or from the chart

Again, the agreement is very good.

SOLUTION SI
This is a classical adiabatic mixing problem involving the air leaving the heating
and cooling coils that may be solved using a psychrometric chart or a computer program. Using
the ASHRAE psychrometric program the result of the mixed condition is 24.3 C db and 18.5 C

wb with enthalpy and humidity ratio of 52.4 kJ/kga and 11.0 gmv/kga respectively.
Using Chart 1 (SI) and locating the mixed state 3 three fourths of the distance from point

2 to point 1 on a straight line results in state 3 at 24.6 C db and 18.7 C wb with enthalpy of 53.0
kJ/kg and humidity ratio of 11.1 gmv/kga. To determine the leaving volume flow rate the

16

specific volumes of the entering and mixed air are required. Using the ASHRAE program v1 is

0.873 m3/kga and v3 is 0.857 m3/kga. The specific volumes may be estimated from Chart 1 as v1

EXAMPLE WS3-4
A Dual duct VAV system similar to Figure 2-22 has one zone operating under the following
conditions. The space is controlled to 75 F (24 C) db and 50 % RH. The hot deck furnishes air at 100 F
(38 C) and 10 % RH while the cold deck furnishes air at 55 F (13 C) db and 90 % RH. At a given time

the zone has a total cooling load of 50,000 Btu/hr (14.7 kW) with a sensible heat factor of 0.6. Use charts
1 to determine: (a) The state of the air supplied to the zone. (b) The quantity of air supplied to the zone;
(c) The amount of air supplied by the cold deck and the amount of air supplied by the hot deck. Assume

16

standard sea level pressure.

SOLUTION IP

(a) Locate states 1, 2 and 3 as shown on psychrometric Chart 1 (IP). Connect states 2 and 3 with

a straight line, assuming adiabatic mixing of the hot and cold deck air. Construct the condition line for
the space for a SHF of 0.6 and the space condition, state 1. State 4 for the supplied air is at the

R
FM

intersection of the condition line and line 2-3, approximately 63 F db and 62 % RH. (b) The quantity of
air supplied to the space is

q c = m a 4 (i1 i 4 ) =
from Chart 1,

i1 = 28.2 Btu/lbma;

Then

Q 4 =

EXAMPLE WS3-5
A space is to be conditioned during the heating season with the system shown by the
attached schematic.. The space is to be maintained at 72 F (22 C)db with a relative humidity of
30 percent. The total heating load is 250,000 Btu/hr (73.3 kW) with a SHF of 0.8. The quantity

of supply air is the same as previously determined for the system in the cooling mode, 5200 cfm
(2.45 m3/s) and the amount of outdoor ventilation air is 1725 cfm (0.81 m3/s). Outdoor air is at

10 F (-12 C) db and 0.001 lbmv/lbma (or kgv/kga). Saturated water vapor at 6 psig (142 kPa
absolute) is available for humidification. Determine the amount of heating required for both

16

preheating and final heating and the amount of vapor required for humidification and heating.
Use ASHRAE Chart 1 assuming sea level pressure.

SOLUTION IP

The solution is initiated by locating the space condition, R of 72 F db, 30 % RH on the

chart and using the protractor to plot the condition line from point R to the right for a SHF of 0.8.
Point S, the supply air condition is located on the condition line and can be located using the

known volume flow rate of air and either the total or sensible heating load. Using the sensible
load

Frame walls with either wood siding or brick veneer are common in light commercial and
residential construction. The attached schematic shows a cross-section of a typical brick veneer

wall. Compute an overall heat transfer coefficient for the wall taking into account the wood
framing.

SOLUTION-IP

It is noted that two distinct paths are present for the transfer of heat through the wall: A

16

path through the space containing insulation and a path through the wood studs. Lateral heat
transfer between the insulation and the studs may be neglected and the thermal resistances for
each path considered to be in parallel. The table below summarizes the necessary data to arrive
at a solution.

Now, in reality there is more wood in a complete frame wall than just the studs.

There are plates at the top and bottom of the wall which would be 2 x 4s in this case.
There are almost solid wood headers above each window and door. There is probably an
extra stud in the wall due to uneven spacing and there is usually an extra stud in each
corner. Therefore, Path 2 through the wood accounts for more area than used above. As

16

computed above the wood studs make up about 10 percent of the wall area. In an actual

EXAMPLE WS5-2
The first floor of a small building is partially underground as shown in the attached
sketch. The back portion of the first floor is similar to a basement while the front resembles a

concrete slab on grade. The back and side walls are 6 in. (15 cm) concrete with R-8.34 (hr-ft2-

F)/Btu [1.47 (m2-C)/W] insulation on the outside below grade and finished on the inside with one
in. (25 mm) of glass fiber, organic bonded board and in. (12.7 mm) of gypsum board. The
outside of the exposed concrete walls are covered with 4 in. (10 cm) brick veneer. The concrete

16

slab floor has horizontal R-3.3 (hr-ft2-F)/Btu [0.62 (m2-C)/W] insulation 2 ft (0.6 m) wide along
the front and extending back about two widths on each side. The front wall is frame with brick
veneer with a large window and door. The wall has an effective overall heat transfer coefficient
of 0.22 Btu/(hr-ft2-F) [1.25 W/(m2-C)]. The building is located in Louisville, KY where the
outdoor temperature is 12 F (-11 C). Assume an inside air temperature of 72 F (22 C). Estimate

R

the heat loss for the first floor of the building.


SOLUTION - IP

The physical situation in this case does not exactly fit the data available, therefore, some

reasonable assumptions will have to be made. The various transmission coefficients will first be
estimated followed by the heat loss calculations.

Calculations for the back wall are straight forward in that it is nearly all below grade like

a basement wall and an overall transmission coefficient can be read from Table 5-9 for a depth of
7 ft with R-8.34 insulation as 0.064 Btu/(hr-ft2-F). Then, adding the inside finish material we get

There is a narrow strip at the top of the back wall that is above grade. A coefficient will be

16
It is assumed that the two end walls have equal contact with the ground. Note in the

sketch that the end walls in contact with the ground have been divided into 2 ft wide increments.
Starting on the left, the first increment is assumed to be 7 ft below grade and each increment to
the right decreases in depth by one foot. A finite element approach will be used to find the
overall heat transfer coefficient of the end walls below grade.

The floor is a combination basement and slab on grade. As an approximation, assume

that the floor beneath elements 6 and 7, the 2 ft of exposed slab at the front on each side and the
front of the floor slab are slab on grade and use a coefficient from Figure 5-8. Consider the

USE IT WITH YOUR MIND

remainder of the floor to be a basement floor and use a coefficient from Table 5-10 at an average
depth of say 5 ft. Then for the slab with 2 ft of R-3.3 insulation, U s = 0.9 Btu/(hr-ft-F) with a
length of 36 ft. For the basement floor, U bf = 0.032 Btu/(hr-ft2-F) with an area of 240 ft2.
The heat loss can now be computed after the ground surface temperature has been

estimated. The average annual air temperature in Louisville, KY is 44 F from Table 5-11 and the
amplitude of ground temperature, Amp is about 20 F from Figure 5-7. Then
t g = t avg Amp = 44 20 = 24 F

reasonable assumptions will have to be made. The various transmission coefficients will first be
estimated followed by the heat loss calculations.

Calculations for the back wall are straight forward in that it is nearly all below grade like
a basement wall and an overall transmission coefficient can be read from Table 5-9 for a depth of
2.1 m with R-1.47 insulation as 2.52 W/(m2-C). Then, adding the inside finish material we get

There is a narrow strip at the top of the back wall that is above grade. A coefficient will be
found for that area a little later.
It is assumed that the two end walls have equal contact with the ground. Note in the

sketch that the end walls in contact with the ground have been divided into 0.6 m wide
increments. Starting on the left, the first increment is assumed to be 2.1 m below grade and each
increment to the right decreases in depth by 0.3 m. A finite element approach will be used to
find the overall heat transfer coefficient of the end walls below grade.

The floor is a combination basement and slab on grade. As an approximation, assume

that the floor beneath elements 6 and 7, the 0.6 m of exposed slab at the front on each side and
the front of the floor slab are slab on grade and use a coefficient from Figure 5-8. Consider the
remainder of the floor to be a basement floor and use a coefficient from Table 5-10 at an average
depth of 1.5 m. Then for the slab with 0.6 m of R-0.62 insulation, U s = 1.54 W/(m-C) with a

length of 11 m. For the basement floor, U bf = 0.18 W/(m2-C) with an area of 21.9 m2.

estimated. The average winter temperature in Louisville, KY is 6.7 C from Table 5-11 and the
amplitude of ground temperature, Amp is about 11 C from Figure 5-7. Then
t g = t avg Amp = 6.7 11 = 4.3 C

EXAMPLE WS10-1
Consider the design of a central chilled water cooling system for a clubhouse and residential
lodges for a prestigious golf club. The clubhouse is large with a 75 ton cooling load. It is single storey

with a basement for storage and mechanical equipment. Four lodges with 8 suites and 2 common areas
have a cooling load of 20 tons each located to one side of the clubhouse. The first lodge is about 250 ft
away and the others are spaced about 100 ft apart farther on. The equipment room is located at the end of
the basement closest to the first lodge. Each lodge has a basement for equipment.

16

The golf course is located 70 miles from a city where qualified service personnel are available

and there is no on site operating personnel. Layout a suitable central chilled water system for the
complex, describe the main features of the system and considerations in arriving at the design.

SOLUTION:

R
FM

Obviously whatever type system is designed should be reliable and simple as possible without

going overboard due to lack of local trained operating and service personnel. A system similar to that

shown in Figure 10-34 of the text would be a good choice to ensure reliable operation and is reasonably
simple because it requires a minimum of controls. This type system would be very responsive to the
expected variable load. Schematicly the system would appear as shown in Figure WS10-1. The air

handling units in the clubhouse and the fan coils in the lodges with piping for the tertiary circuits are not
shown but would resemble Figure 10-33 in the text with the required number of units laid out in a

reverse-return manner. In this case it is not practical to use reverse-return for the secondary circuit.
However, the control of pump PL by the required pressure differential at lodge No. 4 will ensure
circulation to all tertiary circuits.

The total combined cooling load is 155 tons. Two chillers with capacity of 75 tons each are

chosen. Each can unload in four steps which allows the capacity of the system to vary from about 20 to

1
USE IT WITH YOUR MIND

M16FMR
m16fmr@hotmail.co.uk

150 tons. Actually two chillers of about 60 tons each would be adequate due to the diversity in load
usually encountered in situations of this kind. However, due to location, if a chiller was to fail, the other
75 ton unit would provide reasonable cooling in most cases until the second unit could be put back in
service.

It is assumed that the system will operate with chilled water supplied at 45 F and returned at 55 F.

Then the flow rate of water for each chiller is

q = m c p (t r t s ) = 500 Q (t r t s )

Where Q is in gallons per min (gpm). Then

75 (12,000 )
q
=
= 180 gpm
500 (t r t s ) 500 (55 45)

16
Q =

and the total flow rate at full load is 360 gpm.

Each of the lodge circuits will be sized for 48 gpm which corresponds to 20 tons although there is
theoretically only 45 gpm available for each lodge. It is highly unlikely that all four lodges would be at

R
FM

full load simultaneously.

Now, in order to size the pipe and compute the lost head for the various circuits so that the pumps
may be specified, a realistic layout of the piping is necessary. Normally a CAD drawing of the piping
showing all valves, fittings and accessories would be made to scale and overlaid on a plan of the

buildings. Since that is not possible here a single line layout with some of the details is shown in Figure

WS10-2. Using the criteria recommended and discussed in the text, the various sections of the piping can
now be sized using Figures 10-20 or 10-21 in the text or the program PIPE given on this website. The

flow rates and pipe sizes are shown on Figure WS10-2, except for the tertiary circuits. An analysis for the
lost head is not given here due to lack of details available in Figure WS10-2. However, the pipe sizing

and head loss calculation is usually done simultaneously using a program like PIPE. For this design an
analysis would yield the results shown below in Table WS10-1.

The tertiary circuits for the clubhouse and lodges are similar to that shown in Figure 10-33 in the text with

16

the necessary additional coils and piped in a reverse-return manner.

It is obvious that considerable work is required to design a system of this kind. The effort required to

select all the required valves and accessories is great. However, attention to all the details ensures a reliable,
trouble free design.

the coil is piped for parallel flow which is not typical. Counter flow would be used most typically.

EXAMPLE WS11-1
The principles discussed relative to jet behavior are quite useful in designing
exhaust systems to remove harmful contaminants from an area before they mix with the
air in the occupied space. When a contaminant such as smoke is emitted in a room it is

ineffective to simply exhaust air because the smoke will diffuse throughout and the space
may never completely clear. However, if the smoke or other such contaminant can be
entrained in a jet, the jet can be captured and removed from the space before the whole
space is contaminated.

16

Consider an engine rebuilding shop with a free standing, circular parts washing

vat containing a non-toxic but volatile cleaning fluid which is irritating to the workers
eyes standing and working around the vat. The vat is about 8 ft in diameter at bench
height, about 32 in., with a round opening in the center. That is, the vat is annular or

R
FM

doughnut in shape. It is proposed to install an air outlet in the open center of the vat

discharging a circular jet vertically upward toward an exhaust hood which is to capture
the jet with entrained air and vapor from the vat. The hood is 9 ft above the surface of
the vat.

Determine the basic parameters from which to construct the above system.

SOLUTION

This is a typical design problem where some trial and error may be required to
reach a satisfactory solution. Equations 11-1 and 11-2 cover this situation. To start,

assume an initial velocity, V o , of 800 ft/min which should not produce objectionable

Therefore, almost 500 cfm of room air has been entrained in the jet while sweeping the

to recalculate the various parameters. Assume a 3 in. diameter and recalculate V x using

EXAMPLE WS12-1

This example involves the use of the duct sizing program, DUCT. It is recommended

that the instructions for this program and the associated examples be reviewed before
proceeding. Further, it is recommended that this file be printed so that it can be
referenced after the program DUCT is started to show the actual solution.
The system shown in the given figure is to be sized and the associated fan(s) specified

using the program DUCT. Circular (round) duct is to be used. Assume that only one fan,
the fan in the air handling unit (AHU), is to be used. Finally, discuss the addition of a

SOLUTION

R
FM

It is assumed that a maximum velocity of 800 fpm will be maintained in the main
supply ducts and the branch velocities should be less than 600 fpm to obtain a quiet

system when put into operation. Using the duct program proceed by first numbering all

the duct sections, fittings and diffusers starting at the AHU. The first fitting or section of
duct is number 2. Proceed down the main run all the way to diffuser number 22. To

reduce clutter, only the diffuser numbers are shown on the figure. Following diffuser 22
proceed backward with the branches. For this example the next fitting after 22 is the 45
deg. elbow off the wye that terminates with diffuser 27. Continue on concluding with

diffuser 57. Note that the branches all have dampers except the farthest two, 22 and 27.

It is anticipated that the branches closest to the AHU will probably have velocities greater
than 600 fpm with out some kind of control. The dampers may be adjusted later using

USE IT WITH YOUR MIND

M16FMR
m16fmr@hotmail.co.uk

the modification feature of the program. The dampers in branches 32 and 37 were
actually inserted later when it was found they were needed. This will be explained later.
After numbering all the duct sections and fittings, the data for each was entered in the
duct program. By numbering the system and entering the data in the same order, the

program will connect all the parts appropriately. After this step was complete the other
design parameters were entered or selected. The button to specify a maximum velocity
of 800 fpm was selected initially. The pressure loss data for the coils, filter, etc. were
entered. Using the Pressure Distribution slide bar the fan total pressure was proportioned

16

between the supply and return parts of the system. A 60 40 split was initially selected
for this example and later adjusted to refine the supply and return system solutions. The
system type, supply; the sizing method, balanced capacity; duct size rounding, round
nearest were selected. Then by clicking on the Calculate Duct Sizes button, a solution
was obtained. It is suggested that at this point the duct program be started and the file

R
FM

named [Example WS12-1 (Supply).df] be opened. The setup of the final solution for the
supply ducts is shown as discussed above in the window entitled Duct Fittings. Note the
way the elements are connected together. Other data and selections are also shown as
discussed above.

Actually the fittings do not have to be all numbered in sequence as

long as they are connected properly. This is an important point because it is often

necessary to add one or more fittings after the initial setup. This was actually done in this
example. Note at the bottom of the list that two dampers numbered 58 and 59 were
added later. The procedure to do this is described in the next paragraph.

To insert an element in the system, first determine the location for the addition.
Next, break the connection of the downstream element from the upstream element by

USE IT WITH YOUR MIND

M16FMR
m16fmr@hotmail.co.uk

selecting the downstream element in the window and click on the Modify button. A
window entitled Fan-Side Connection will pop up, select the Leave Temporarily
Disconnected option and click on the Accept button. Next, add the new fitting with a
new number at the bottom of the fitting list and click Accept. Then click on the

downstream fitting to which the new fitting is to be connected and click on Modify.
Then click on the new fitting. All the fittings should then be reconnected. If a fitting is
still disconnected, repeat the last step above with the disconnected fitting. A new
solution can then be recalculated.

16

Calculation of the duct sizes with the file given above produces a satisfactory

solution for the supply ducts. Note that the maximum velocity and branch velocity
criteria are met. This was accomplished by adjusting the dampers in the various branches
using the Modification feature of the program and recalculating after each change. Note

R
FM

that the total flow rate of 1725 cfm was computed, the fan total pressure of 0.63 in. wg is
shown with a 55 45 % split between supply and return was finally used to size both the

supply and return systems. Also note the total pressures for each run which indicate good
system balance even with rounding of the ducts to even sizes.

Once a layout is entered into the program many variations can be investigated as
indicated above such as changing the system total pressure, changing the proportions of
the available total pressure between supply and return, changing the sizing method, etc.

It is usually necessary to alternate work between the supply and return systems to obtain
compatible solutions. When suitable solutions are obtained the output can be edited to
add a title or notes and saved to a file or printed.

USE IT WITH YOUR MIND

M16FMR
m16fmr@hotmail.co.uk

The return ducts are numbered and entered into the program in the same way as
the supply ducts starting at the mixing box with the first element numbered 2. Again all
the numbers are not shown on the figure to avoid too much clutter, however, the return
grilles 17, 22 and 27 are numbered. File [Example WS12-1(Return).df] shows the setup

for the return system. Note that the Air System option is the Fan Total Pressure option
and set equal to 0.63 in. wg, the same total pressure obtained in the solution for the
supply ducts. The AHU internal lost pressures remain the same as well as the
proportioning of the air between supply and return. The sizing method is Balanced

16

Capacity, the same as the supply system. Calculation of the duct sizes reveals the same
type of data for the return system as was obtained for the supply ducts. Changes to the
solution are limited now because this solution must be compatible with the supply duct
system. The sizing method and rounding parameters are the only options.

R
FM

Finally, it should be noted that the exhaust and outdoor air ducts should be 20 in.
diameter or an equivalent rectangular size so that the system could operate with 100 %
outdoor air if desired.

The fan in the AHU must produce 1725 cfm at a total pressure of 0.63 in. wg.

However, it should be noted that for the system to operate with outdoor air (ODA) and
Exhaust, the space must be pressurized (see the section on pressure grade lines in the

text). Therefore, to really operate well a return fan should be installed between branch 21
and the tee where the exhaust duct is connected. With two fans, the supply fan must

produce a total pressure of 0.518 in. wg with a capacity of 1725 cfm and the return fan
would have a capacity of 1725 cfm with a total pressure of 0.113 in. wg assuming no

EXAMPLE WS12-2
An air distribution system was designed and installed as shown schematically in Figure
WS12-2-1. When the system was put into operation it was found that the 3,000 and 2,000 cfm

runs checked out OK. However, the run to the meeting room delivered only 300 cfm rather than
500 cfm as required. This latter run is hidden between a concrete floor above and a metal lath
and plaster ceiling below all the way from point A to the room diffusers. There are no
observably obstructions in the duct. The run of duct is very long with many changes in direction

16

with an estimated total equivalent length of 400 ft as designed. The building structure prevented

any other routing of the duct run to the meeting room. The duct is round galvanized steel.
Analyze and recommend correction of this problem.

SOLUTION

R
FM

First, check to see if the 10 in. diameter duct is adequate to handle 500 cfm with the
available total pressure and given total equivalent length.
P / L =

(0.7 0.1) 100 = 0.15 in. wg/100 ft


400

Then using Figure 12-21 in the text at P / L = 0.15 in. wg/100 ft and 500 cfm the diameter is

given as almost exactly 10 in. Therefore, the design calculation was correct and there must be
something about the hidden part of the duct that is restricting the flow of air. Perhaps the duct

was deformed (crushed), resized or rerouted during construction that resulted in a considerable

increase in flow resistance. Considering where the duct is located, it is impractical to remove the
ceiling for inspection and correction of the problem. A possible correction would be to increase
the fan speed in order to produce enough total pressure to satisfy the 500 cfm run. A damper at

1
USE IT WITH YOUR MIND

M16FMR
m16fmr@hotmail.co.uk

position C would be required to reduce the excess pressure for the 2000 and 3000 cfm runs. To
determine the necessary total pressure to correct the 500 cfm run, first determine the effective
total equivalent length of the run as it exists. Using Figure 12-21 with 300 cfm, the existing total
pressure of (0.7 0.1) = 0.6 in. wg and the 10 in. diameter duct, P / L = 0.055 in. wg/100 ft.

Then the effective total equivalent length can be computed using the available total pressure of
0.6 in. wg

Le =

P
0.6
100 =
100 = 1090 ft
P / L
0.055

16

Then with 500 cfm, a 10 in. duct and again going to Figure 12-21, P / L = 0.15 in. wg/100 ft.
The required total pressure for the duct is

Pn = (P / L ) Le / 100 = 0.15 (1090) / 100 = 1.64 in. wg

Then adding the diffuser loss, the new fan total pressure is 1.74 in. wg. Now using the fan laws
the amount of fan speed required to produce the new total pressure and power may be computed.

= Pi (1.58)3 = 3.9 Pi

and shows an increase by nearly a factor of 4 or about 3 horsepower for a typical fan. This
seems to be unrealistic.

Since the only part of the system requiring more pressure is the 500 cfm run, consider

placing another fan at position A to supply the needed additional total pressure. Neglecting the
difference in pressure between the fan discharge and point A, the required total pressure for the
fan is (1.74 0.7) = 1.04 or about 1.0 in. wg. Therefore, the added fan should be rated at 500

USE IT WITH YOUR MIND

M16FMR
m16fmr@hotmail.co.uk

cfm and 1.0 in. wg, neglecting any fan system effects. This approach would result in only a
small increase in power of less than horsepower. This is a much more reasonable solution.
Now with the increase in flow rate of 200 cfm for the complete system the main fan total
pressure will decrease slightly because the system characteristic for the complete system has

changed. Therefore, a slight increase in fan speed may be required to maintain flow in the 2000
and 3000 cfm branches. The increase in speed would be only 3 to 4 percent or about 25 to 40
