Please answer the given question and show the solution. Thank you very much! Note: Please include the units in the solutions and use 4 decimals point in Final Answer
An air-cooled condenser is
to reject 94 Hp of heat from
a condensing refrigerant to
air. The condenser has an
air-side area of 2260 ft^2
and overall heat transfer
coefficient based on the
area of 0.04 kW/m^2-K. The
air has a density of 1.15
kg/m^3. The condensing
temperature of air are
105.26°F and 121.5°F,
respectively. Calculate the
volume of the air supplied in
ft^3/s. Specific heat ratio of
air is 1.4.
