modified atmosphere requires higher-than-normal amounts of oxygen but sparing amounts of water vapor. You have two streams available for mixing: stream A is dry air (79% N2, 21% O2) stream B is enriched air saturated with water vapor (4.31% water vapor, 50.28% O2, and the balance is N2) The desired product should contain 0.78% water vapor. Determine the feed ratio (A/B) necessary to achieve the desired product

Question

A modified atmosphere requires higher-than-normal amounts of oxygen but sparing amounts of water vapor. You have two streams available for mixing:

  • stream A is dry air (79% N2, 21% O2)
  • stream B is enriched air saturated with water vapor (4.31% water vapor, 50.28% O2, and the balance is N2)

The desired product should contain 0.78% water vapor. Determine the feed ratio (A/B) necessary to achieve the desired product.
