Download Solution PDFConsider the following statements for sensible heat factor:
1. Sensible heat factor will be negative if sensible heat and latent heat are both negative.
2. Sensible heat factor will be negative if sensible heat is negative and latent heat is positive.
3. Sensible heat factor will be negative if sensible heat is positive and latent heat is negative.
4. Sensible heat factor will be negative if sensible heat and latent heat are both positive.
Which of the above statements are correct?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

The sensible heat factor is the ratio of Sensible heat to the Room total heat.
Room total heat = Sensible heat (SH) + Latent heat (LH)
Sensible Heat Factor is given by,
\(\rm SHF = \frac{{SH}}{{LH \;+\; SH}} \)
From the ratio we can conclude that if both latent heat and sensible heat is either negative or positive, the sensible heat factor will be positive, thus statements 2 and 3 are correct answer.
