Question
Atmospheric air at 1 atm, 32°C, and 95 percent relative humidity is cooled to 24°C and 60 percent
relative humidity at a rate of 20 m³/min as shown in Figure Q2. A simple ideal vapor-compression
refrigeration system using refrigerant-134a as the working fluid with 0.05kg/s mass flow rate, is used
to provide the cooling required. It operates its evaporator at 4°C and its condenser at a saturation
temperature of 39.4°C. The condenser rejects its heat to the atmospheric air. Calculate:
a. the amount of water, in kg/kg dry air, removed from the air,
b. the rate of heat removed from the air, in kJ/kg dry air,
c. the rate of heat rejected at the condenser,
d. sketch the process on the psychrometric chart provided.
