Lab-1 Question

Question

“For question 5 is there a specific formula I need to know? If so what is it?”

Response

Both Part “a” and Part “b” ask you to use basic physics reasoning.  We belief you can derive the necessary equation given an understanding of what’s happening.

For Part “b” the way’ I approach it is to imagine a cubic foot of air.  Can I figure out how much it weighs?  Can I figure out how many BTU’s it take to heat that cubic foot 1DegF?  How many to heat it 20DegF?  How many CF of air would it take to convey 8,000 BTU?

You should be able to check your answer using units.
