MECH 3340 Semester Project Phase 2 Due: 4-4-2019

You must create all diagrams in a computer aided drafting program. You must include a
narrative that explains the methods, assumptions and results in paragraph form. Create narrative
in a word processing program.

I. Load Calculation
a. Calculate the summer sensible load for the West Street Video Building using the
method described in Figure 8.1 of the HVAC Simplified text.
i. Present a plan view of the building and show the cross section of the
exterior wall.
ii. Assume a two zone system, similar to the system presented on Sheet M of
the building plans.
b. Present and explain all assumptions
c. Present results

II. Equipment Sizing

a. Estimate the volume flow rate of supply air needed to maintain a constant
temperature in the building.
i. Assume a two zone system, similar to the system presented on Sheet M of
the building plans.
ii. Assume a supply temperature of 57°F
iii. Calculate using the simplified psychrometric equation (4.14) on page 30
of the HVAC simplified text. qs=1.08×Q(cfm)×(Treturn-Tsupply)
iv. Estimate the required specific humidity of the supply air using the
simplified psychrometric equation (4.21) on page 32 of the HVAC
simplified text. ql=4680×Q(cfm)×(Wreturn-Wsupply).
b. Estimate the energy that is required to be removed by the cooling unit.
i. Assume a two zone system, similar to the system presented on Sheet M of
the building plans.
ii. The energy removal requirement will be equal to the total cooling load (qt)
for each zone. qt=qs+ql
c. Present and explain all assumptions
d. Present results
