Pls. Anwer my quistion..
Thank you!
Air enters an air-conditioning system that uses refrigerant-134a at 30OC and 70 percent relative humidity at a rate of 4 m3 /min. The refrigerant enters the cooling section at 700 kPa with a quality of 20 percent and leaves as saturated vapor. The air is cooled to 20OC at a pressure of 1 atm. Determine
(a) the rate of dehumidification in kg/min
(b) the refrigerating Effect in KJ/min
(c) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant in kg/min
what is the reason that someone can feel comfortable in a room that consists of 20oC drybulb temperature and a wet bulb temperature of 15oC ? explain with some calculation if possible
(a detailed answer will be appreciated )
