Moist air at 35°C and 71% relative humidity enters a dehumidifier operating at steady state with a volumetric flow rate of 32 m³/s. The moist air passes over a cooling coil and water vapor condenses. Condensate exits the dehumidifier saturated at 20°c. Saturated moist air exits in a separate stream at the same temperature. There is no significant loss of energy by heat transfer to the surroundings and pressure remains constant at 95 kPa. Determine the rate at which water is condensed (in kg/min).

Moist air at 35°C and 71% relative humidity enters a
dehumidifier operating at steady state with a volumetric
flow rate of 32 m³/s. The moist air passes over a cooling
coil and water vapor condenses. Condensate exits the
dehumidifier saturated at 20°c. Saturated moist air exits in
a separate stream at the same temperature. There is no
significant loss of energy by heat transfer to the
surroundings and pressure remains constant at 95 kPa.
Determine the rate at which water is condensed (in
kg/min).
