Two airstreams are mixed steadily and adiabatically. The first stream enters at 35°C and 30 percent relative humidity at a rate of 15 m/min, while the second stream enters at 12°C and 90 percent relative humidity at a rate of 23.5 m/min. Assuming that the mixing process occurs at a pressure of 90 kPa, determine the specific humidity, the relative humidity, the dry-bulb temperature, and the volume flow rate of the mixture. Use data from the tables.

Question
Two airstreams are mixed steadily and adiabatically. The first stream enters at 35°C and 30 percent
relative humidity at a rate of 15 m/min, while the second stream enters at 12°C and 90 percent relative
humidity at a rate of 23.5 m/min. Assuming that the mixing process occurs at a pressure of 90 kPa,
determine the specific humidity, the relative humidity, the dry-bulb temperature, and the volume flow rate
of the mixture. Use data from the tables.
