Question

Fifty pounds of cotton cloth containing 20% total moisture content (dry basis) is hung in a closed room containing 4,000 ft3 of air at 1 atm. Initially, the air is at 100oF at a wet-bulb temperature of 69oF. If the air is kept at 100oF, without admitting new air or venting the air, and the air is brought to equilibrium with the cotton cloth, determine the moisture content of the cotton cloth and the relative humidity of the air. Assume the equilibrium-moisture content for cotton cloth at 100oF is he same as that of glue at 25oC, as shown in Figure. Neglect the effect of the increase in air pressure, but calculate the final air pressure
