Chapter 13, Problem 1RQ
What is kinetic energy?
Expert Solution & Answer

To determine
What kinetic energy is?
Explanation of Solution
Kinetic energy is a form of mechanical energy possessed by a body in motion. The amount of kinetic energy is determined by the mass and speed of the body. The higher the mass and speed, the higher is the kinetic energy. Even at low speeds, the vehicle with high mass has enough kinetic energy to cause serious injury and damage. The kinetic energy is disposed with the help of brake system in a safe and controlled manner.

As shown in the figure below, moist air at T₁ = 36°C, 1 bar, and 35% relative humidity enters a heat exchanger operating at steady state
with a volumetric flow rate of 10 m³/min and is cooled at constant pressure to 22°C. Ignoring kinetic and potential energy effects,
determine:
(a) the dew point temperature at the inlet, in °C.
(b) the mass flow rate of moist air at the exit, in kg/min.
(c) the relative humidity at the exit.
(d) the rate of heat transfer from the moist air stream, in kW.
