Suppose SUNY Oswego needs to purchase a new Central AC for the Rich Hall. There are two choices, the first system costs $50,000 and is expected to last 10 years, and the second system costs $72,000 and is expected to last 15 years. Assume that the opportunity cost of capital is 10 percent. Which air-conditioning system should SUNY Oswego purchase?

The owner of a small office building asked you to design the new air conditioning system for the building. The system cools the air supplied to the offices using a chiller (cold water refrigeration system). The water requirement for the evaporator in each floor is 18.2 mh. The velocity within the pipe must remain between 1.5 m/s and 2.5 m/s, to ensure the appropriate heat exchange process in the evaporators and minimize the noise. The material of the pipe is...
