Suppose you were a heating engineer and you wished to consider a house as a dynamic system. Without a heater, the average temperature in the house would clearly vary over a 24-h period. What might you consider for inputs, outputs, and state variables for a simple dynamic model? How would you expand your model so that it would predict temperatures in several rooms of the house? How does the installation of a thermostatically controlled heater change your model?

. Determine the coil load, circulation and ventilation airflow rates, and thermodynamic states for a CAV system at design conditions for a commercial office building. The design ambient conditions are 92 F dry bulb and 78 F wet bulb. The building can be treated as a single zone with a total zone load of 500,000 Btu/hr and a sensible heat ratio of 0.8. The design occupancy is 80 people and the corresponding ventilation air flow rate is 1600 cfm, which is based on 20 cfm of outdoor air per person. The zone temperature thermostat setting is 77 F, which is within the summer comfort zone. The bypass factor for the coil is 0.175 and the chilled water temperature is 50 F.
