Quiz2: Air enters a chamber at 10°C dry-bulb temperature (DBT) and 5°C wet-bulb temperature (WBT) at a flow rate of 100 m³/min, with the barometric pressure at 101.325 kPa. As it passes through the chamber, the air absorbs sensible heat at a rate of 40 kW and picks up 45 kg/hr of saturated steam at 105°C. Determine the dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures of the air as it leaves the chamber. Additionally, determine the condition of the air between the heater and the humidifier. Finally, explain how you would estimate the humidifier efficiency.

Quiz2: Air enters a chamber at 10°C dry-bulb temperature (DBT) and 5°C wet-bulb
temperature (WBT) at a flow rate of 100 m³/min, with the barometric pressure at 101.325 kPa.
As it passes through the chamber, the air absorbs sensible heat at a rate of 40 kW and picks
up 45 kg/hr of saturated steam at 105°C. Determine the dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures
of the air as it leaves the chamber. Additionally, determine the condition of the air between the
heater and the humidifier. Finally, explain how you would estimate the humidifier efficiency.
