Air in a room is at 35°C and 60% relative humidity (RH) The
pressure in the room is 0.1 MPa The saturation pressure of
water at 35°C is 5.63 kPa. Calculate the humidity ratio of the air (in
grain/kg of dry air).
Air at 0° C and 95% relative humidity has to be heated and humidified to 25° C and 40% relative humidity by the following three processes: (a) preheating; (b) adiabatic saturation in a recirculated water air-washer; and (c) reheating to final state. Calculate: 1. The heating required in two heaters; 2. The makeup water required in washer and temperature of washer. Assume effectiveness of washer as 80 per cent
Gaseous hydrogen weakens the mechanical strength of cast iron. this phenomenon often occurs in cast iron pressure vessels containing 100% gas hydrogen. H2 gas dissolves in metallic iron and diffuses into solid non-porous iron by an interstitial diffusion mechanism. H2 gas does not need to penetrate far into the iron to have a negative effect on the mechanical strength of iron. In the present situation, 100% of H2 gas at 1.0 atm and 100°C is contained within a 1.0 m internal diameter and wall thickness of 2.0 cm. The solubility of hydrogen in iron in 100°C is 2.2x10-7 mol of H/g Fe atoms. The diffusion coefficient of atoms of hydrogen in solid iron is 124.0x10-9 cm2 /sec at 100°C. Initially, there are no H atoms in solid iron. How many hours will it take for the hydrogen level inside the iron metal reaches 1.76x10-7 mol H atoms/g Fe at a depth of 0.1 cm from the surface exposed to hydrogen gas?
