Chapter 7, Problem 1RQ
Alternating current is __________.
- a. an alternating flow of electrons
- b. electrons reversing their flow at regular intervals
- c. the most commonly used current
- d. all of the above
Expert Solution & Answer

To determine
Alternating current is
Explanation of Solution
Alternating current is the flow of electric charge in both positive and negative directions.
In other words, the flow of electric charge which shifts its direction with respect to time is known as alternating current.
Hence, the correct answer is “option d. all the above”.

As shown in the figure below, moist air at T₁ = 36°C, 1 bar, and 35% relative humidity enters a heat exchanger operating at steady state
with a volumetric flow rate of 10 m³/min and is cooled at constant pressure to 22°C. Ignoring kinetic and potential energy effects,
determine:
(a) the dew point temperature at the inlet, in °C.
(b) the mass flow rate of moist air at the exit, in kg/min.
(c) the relative humidity at the exit.
(d) the rate of heat transfer from the moist air stream, in kW.
