2.b.
The following data refers to simple air refrigeration cycle of 20 TR capacity
Ambient air temperature and pressure =$20^\circ C$ and 0.8bar
Ram air pressure =0.9 bar
Compressor outlet pressure = 3.6 bar
Temperature of air leaving H.E. = $60^\circ C$
Pressure of air leaving the turbine = 1bar
Temperature of air leaving the cabin = $22^\circ C$.
Compressor and turbine efficiency = 80% and 75% respectively.

5.a.
The room sensible and latent heat loss of an air condition space are 50kW and 10 KW respectively. The room condition is 26$^\circ$C dry bulb temperature and 50% relative humidity. The outdoor condition is 37$^\circ$C dry bulb temperature and 45% relative humidity. The ventilation requirement is such that on mass flow rate basis 20% fresh air is introduced in 80% of supply areas recirculated. The bypass factor of the cooling coil is 0.15. Determine:

(iii) Outside air latent heat.
(iv) Grand total heat; and
(v) ERSHF
