To determine

The five changes made to air for its conditioning.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The five changes made to air for its conditioning is heating, cooling, humidifying, dehumidifying and cleaning.

Explanation of Solution

The atmospheric air contains a lot of impurities which can harm the human body in many ways. The normal atmospheric air contains moisture, odor, poisonous gases as well as dust particles, etc. Air conditioning is the process to remove these impurities from the air and make it clean to comfort the human body.

To clean air for conditioning it is necessary to make some changes. The major five changes that are required to make in the air for conditioning are listed below:

  1. Heating:

    Atmospheric air is heated to higher temperatures to kill the bacteria and germs present in it.

  2. Cooling:

    Heated air then cooled so that it can be adequate for human comfort.

  3. Humidifying:

    Air is humidified to add some moisture in it.

  4. Dehumidifying:

    Air is dehumidified to remove the excess moisture from it.

  5. Cleaning:

    Cleaning of air includes removing any smell, bacteria and dust particles present in it.

Conclusion:

Thus, the five changes made to air for its conditioning is heating, cooling, humidifying, dehumidifying and cleaning.

To make an introduction to a report of a simple design of a compressed air system, which uses the criterion of speed, and not that of pressure drop, to determine the diameter of the pipes, where the capacity of the compressor and the demands of the equipment are expressed in flow.
In an irrigation system, the following characteristics of the pipe network are available.• 100 meters of 4" PVC pipe, 3 gate valves• 500 meters of 3" PVC pipe, 4 gate valves• 200 meters of 2" H.G. pipe, 2 globe valves• 50 litres per second circulate in the pipes:Calculate:1. Total energy losses in meters.2. Leaks in pipes.3. Losses in accessories.4. Calculate the equivalent pipe of that system assuming only pipes without fittings.Solve the problem without artificial intelligence, solve by one of the experts
Liquid water enters the boiler at 60 bar. Steam exits the boiler at 60 bar, 540°C and undergoes a throttling process to 40 bar before entering the turbine. Steam expands adiabatically through the turbine to 5 bar, 240°C, and then undergoes a throttling process to 1 bar before entering the condenser. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. Draw a Temperature-Entropy diagram and mark each of the states 2-5 on this diagram. Determine the power generated by the turbine, in kJ per kg of steam flowing. For the valves and the turbine, evaluate the rate of entropy production, each in kJ/K per kg of steam flowing.
