Air has a dry ball temperature of 36 "C and a wet-bulb temperature of 22 ° C is initially heated in a heater so that the dry ball temperature increases to 80" C. Then the air is passed through the pile of corn kernels to dry. The air coming out of the corn kernels is at a dry bulb temperature of 55 "C. Then this air is passed to the dehumidifier to reduce its RH to 10%. Draw the path of this air change process on a psychrometric diagram. The rate of airflow through the corn kernels pile and The dehumidifier is 5.0 m / s and the cross-sectional diameter of the pile is 0.7 m. a. Determine the amount of water lost from the corn kernels heap (in grams of water/second) (grams of water/second). b. Determine the amount of water lost from the air when passing through the dehumidifier (in grams of water/second) = (grams of water/second)
