Chapter 14.7, Problem 61P
An average (1.82 kg or 4.0 lbm) chicken has a basal metabolic rate of 5.47 W and an average metabolic rate of 10.2 W (3.78 W sensible and 6.42 W latent) during normal activity. If there are 100 chickens in a breeding room, determine the rate of total heat generation and the rate of moisture production in the room. Take the heat of vaporization of water to be 2430 kJ/kg.

Wet sawdust will be dried using air on a circular tray with a diameter of 10 cm and the variation of moisture content over time will be examined. The heat transfer coefficient was calculated as 0.64 cal/min.cm2.°C and the mass transfer coefficient as 3.86 g/cm2.min during the constant speed drying interval lasting 10 minutes. Calculate the dry bulb temperature since the absolute humidity of the air used for drying is 0.018 g water/g dry matter and the wet bulb temperature is 25°C.
Additional data: Enthalpy of evaporation of water: 2442.3 kj/kg at 25°C
Vapor pressure of water: 23.76 mm Hg at 25°C
An air-conditioned classroom in Texas is maintained at 72ºF in the summer. The students attend classes in shorts, sandals, and tee shirts and are quite comfortable. In the same classroom during the winter, the same students wear wool slacks, long-sleeve shirts, and sweaters, and are equally comfortable with the room temperature maintained at 75ºF. Assuming that humidity is not a factor, explain this apparent anomaly in "temperature comfort."
The management of a sugar factory decided to use an empty store room to keep the
excess sugar. In order to preserve the quality of the sugar, the humidity of the store
room must be below than 30%. As an engineer, you have tested the condition of
the room with a sling psychrometer and found out the wet-bulb temperature and
dry-bulb temperatures at 1 atm are 20 and 30°C, respectively. Given the specific
heat at constant pressure is 1.005 kJ/kg-°C.
