Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.51P
A multizone air handler provides air to several zones. One interior zone contains computer equipment with only a sensible load. The coil in the unit cools air from 85 F (29 C) db and 70 F (21 C) wb to 53 F (12 C) db and 90% relative humidity (RH). (a) If the zone is to be maintained at 75 F (24 C) and 50% RH, what proportion of the supply air to the zone bypasses the coil? The amount of air supplied to the zone is 2,500 cfm (1.18 m3/s). (b) What is the cooling load for the zone? Assume standard sea-level pressure.

HUMIDIFIER: MASS BALANCE
On a hot summer day, the air is at 30.6 ° C and 80% relative humidity. The air conditioning in a building supplies 30 m3 / min of air at 13 ° C to keep the air inside the building at an average temperature of 24 ° C and 40% relative humidity. If the ventilation switch of the air conditioner is “open”, the air from outside enters the unit as shown in the drawing (I):
The air conditioner cools the air to a temperature low enough to condense the required amount of water and reheat it to 13 ° C (unsaturated current), at which point it has the same absolute humidity as the air in the building.
Calculate:
a. the speed at which condenses water (kg / min)
b. the temperature at which the air must be cooled to condense water at this rate.
Do the calculations without using the psychrometric chart (although 1 atm of current pressure can be assumed).
If the ventilation switch is closed, as normal, the air from inside the building would be recirculated in the air…
