Question

1. In the process of air conditioning in a humidifier, the air at a dry bulb temperature of 20 °C and 25% RH increases its RH to 40%. Determine the amount of moisture added in the humidifier per kg of dry air. = (kg water/kg air).

 
2. The air has a dry bulb temperature of 34 °C and a wet bulb temperature of 22°C. The liquid is heated in a heater so that the dry bulb temperature increases to 80 °C. Then the air is passed through the corn kernels to dry. The air coming out of the corn kernels is at bulb temperature. dry 55 °C Then this air is passed to the dehumidifier to reduce its RH to 10%. Draw the course of the air change process on a psychrometric diagram. The rate of air flow through the corn kernels and dehumidifier is 4.0 m/s and the cross-sectional diameter of the pile is 0.7 m.
 
a) Determine the amount of water content lost from the pile of corn kernels (in grams of water/second)
 
b) Determine the amount of water content lost from the air when passing through the dehumidifier (in grams of water/second)
