Analysis 1. Connect the points on the Psychrometric chart and describe the type of process that occurs between each two points (1-2, 2-3, and 3-4) in just two words: heating or cooling and humidification or dehumidification, For process 1-2: Heating and humidification process For process 2-3: Cooling and dehumidification process For process 3-4: Heating and humidification process 2. Explain if the processes are as expected. From process 1-2, this was expected because only heating without adding moisture and humidification. From process 2-3, this was expected because the Dew point temperature was larger than temperature in point 3 and since some moisture was removed. From process 3-4, this was expected because since the air is pushed towards point 4 so some moisture will be added. 3. What is the definition of Relative Humidity? And how does it change with temperature? Explain. Relative Humidity is the amount of water vapor present in air expressed as a percentage of the amount needed for saturation at the same temperature. As the temperature decreases, the relative humidity increases. 4. Are the changes in relative humidity seen through the processes in this experiment follow the expected pattern? Process 1-2, we expect the relative humidity to drop since the temperature increases due to the preheat9ing process. Process 2-3, we expect the relative humidity to rise, since the temperature drops due to the cooling process. Process 3-4, we expect the relative humidity to drop, since the temperature has increased due to the reheating process. 5. Is dehumidification expected to occur in the process 2-3? (Hint: compare T3 with Tdew at point 2) The dew point temperature at point 2 was 14.7 C and the temperature at point 3 was 13.2 C. Since the dew point temperature was greater, we do not expect dehumidification to happen in process 2-3.
