Air is humidified with the dry bulb temperature remaining constant. Wet steam is supplied for humidification at 20 psia (138 kPa). If the air is at 80 F (32 C) db, 60 F (16 C) wb, and sea-level pressure, what quality must the steam have (a) to provide saturated air and (b) to provide air at 70 percent relative humidity?

- A winter air-conditioning system adds for humidification 0.0025 kg/s of saturated steam at 100 kPa pressure to an airflow of 0.36 kg/s. The air is initially at a temperature of 15°C with a relative humidity of 20 percent. The barometric pressure is 90 kPaa. What is the dry temperature of the air leaving the humidifier °C?arrow_forwardQ 6: The air in a room has a pressure of 101.3 kPa and a dry bulb temperature of 24°C, with a wet bulb temperature of 17°C. Using the psychrometric chart determine the humidity ratio, the enthalpy, the relative humidity, the dew point temperature, and the specific volume of the humid air. (Ans : 0.0094 kgv/kgda, 47.6 kJ/kgda, 50%, 12.9°C, 0.854 m/kgda) 3arrow_forwardMoist air enters an air conditioning unit at 40°C dry bulb temperature and 45% relative humidity. The air is first passed over cooling coils to remove all of the moisture necessary to achieve the final moisture content and then is passed over heating coils to achieve the final conditions of 20°C dry bulb temperature and 10°C wet bulb temperature. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm throughout the process. (a) Sketch the psychometric diagram for the process. (b) Determine the dew point temperature of the mixture at the inlet of the cooling coils and at the inlet of the heating coils. (c) Calculate the net heat transfer for the entire process, in kJ/kg dry air.arrow_forward

Air enters the heating section at 10 °C and 70 percent relative humidity at a rate of 30 m3/min, and it leaves the evaporative cooler at 20 °C and 60 percent relative humidity.

If the relative humidity is 60%, what is the specific humidity of this air?arrow_forwardAn air-conditioning system operates at a total pressure of 1 atm and consists of a heating section and a humidifier that supplies wet steam (saturated water vapor) at 100 degrees celsius. Air enters the heating section at 10 degrees celsius and 70 percent relative humidity at a rate of 35 m^3/min, and it leaves the humidifying section at 20 degree celcius and 60 percent relative humidity.

The air flow rate is 6 m¾/min. The air leaves the heating section at 25°C. Since the psychrometric chart is invalid for problems that are not at atmospheric pressure, perform long-hand calculations and determine the following: (i) the heat addition rate, and (i) the relative humidity of the exiting air.arrow_forward2. An air-conditioning system is to take in outdoor air at 10 C and 30 percent relative humidity at a steady rate of 45 m3/min and to condition it to 25 C and 60 percent relative humidity. The outdoor air is first heated to 22 C in the heating section and then humidified by the injection of hot steam in the humidifying section. Assuming the entire process takes place at a pressure of 100 kPa, determine (a) the rate of heat supply in the heating section and (b) the mass flow rate of the steam required in the humidifying section. 22 C 25 C Heating Hum hiner 7,10°C. 7-25 C = 30%arrow_forward
