Humid air containing 1 mol.% water and the balance dry air is to be humidified to a water content of 10 mol.%. For this purpose, liquid water is fed through a flow meter and evaporated into the air. The reading on the flow meter shows R = 95. According to the calibration data for the flow meter, there is a linear relationship between the reading (R) and the volumetric flow rate of the water. When R = 15 the flow rate is 1130L/hr and when R = 50 the flow rate is 2745L/hr. Calculate the molar flow rate (mol/hr) of the exit stream.

Question
Humid air containing 1 mol.% water and the balance dry air is to be humidified to a water content of 10 mol.%.
For this purpose, liquid water is fed through a flow meter and evaporated into the air. The reading on the flow
meter shows R = 95. According to the calibration data for the flow meter, there is a linear relationship between
the reading (R) and the volumetric flow rate of the water. When R = 15 the flow rate is 1130L/hr and when R
= 50 the flow rate is 2745L/hr. Calculate the molar flow rate (mol/hr) of the exit stream.
