12 (a) Explain the need for selecting design inside and outside conditions    14
       with respect to a typical air conditioning system
                                        (or)
   (b) A 1.8 meter tall human being with a body mass of 60 kg performs        14
       light work (activity = 1.2 met) in an indoor environment. The
       indoor conditions are: DBT of 30oC, mean radiant temperature of
       32oC, air velocity of 0.2 m/s. Assuming an average surface
       temperature of 34oC for the surface of the human being and light
       clothing, find the amount of evaporative heat transfer required so
       that the human being is at neutral equilibrium.
