What are the best possible solutions to increase the heat transfer rate of a body?
A classroom type room with 45students taking an exam in thermodynamics is expected to release a body heat of about 8kJ/hr per person. In order to compensate this heat dissipation, an air-conditioning unit is to be installed. If specific heat capacity and density of air is 1.0062kJ/kg-K and 1.2kg/m3, determine the volume of air flow required in examination room if the air is to be cooled down from 290C to 200C.
