C="Simplified Room Model Description
Basic Information:
A typical house (1500 sf) requires 3 tons of cooling
1 ton of cooling = 12000 BTU/hr
Density of air = .076 lb/f^3
400 f^3/min = 1 ton of cooling
For 1 ton of cooling, 60*.076*400 = 1824 Lb/Hr is required
Specific heat of air = .24 BTU/(lb - deg F)
All units in Lb/hr, deg F
Q = heat flow in units of BTU/hr = delta-T*S*w
Typically (for cooling),
Tin = 55 deg F
Tair = 85 deg F or higher
Troom = Tout = 68 to 75 deg F
The model computes the temperature in a room into which cooled air is flowing. People in the room are used as heat input disturbances. A diagram of the simplified room is shown below:

Assumptions:
1. No heat storage in the room walls
2. Room air is completely mixed.
Parameters:
Qp = rate of heat flow from people
Qout = rate of heat flow carried out by air leaving room
Qin = rate of heat flow carried in by air entering room
