Question

From your cooling load (8890.007 Btu/hr = 2.605kW, determine mass flow rate of refrigerants. Use the following "rule of thumb" estimate of a standard room of size 180 ft^2: 1 ton of refrigerant = 12,000Btu = 3.517 kW Rule of thumb: 1 ton cooling load = 300-400 ft^2

Answer 1

0.740833917 ton/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cooling load, 8890.007 Btu/hr = 2.605 kW

Room size = 180
`ft^(2)`

According to the thumb rule

1 ton of refrigerant = 12000Btu

Hence for 8890.007 Btu/hr,

the mass flow rate of the refrigerant is =8890.007 / 12000

= 0.740833917 ton per hr

Hence, mass flow rate is 0.740833917 ton/hr
