Very urgent.
A dehumidifier brings in saturated wet air (100 percent relative humidity) at 30°C and 1 atm, through an inlet of 8-cm diameter and average velocity 3 m/s. After some of the water vapor condenses and is drained off at the bottom, the somewhat drier air leaves at approximately 30°C, 1 atm, and 50 percent relative humidity. For steady operation, estimate the amount of water drained off in kg/h. (This problem is idealized from a real dehumidifier.) (in kg/hr)
Note: Use three decimal places and no need to input the unit.
