Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Estimate the rate at water condensed, temperature to which air must be cooled and the net tons of cooling required.
Concept introduction:
Dew point is defined as the temperature at which air must be cooled so it becomes saturated with water vapor. In addition, Absolute humidity measures the amount of water vapor in the air.
(b)
Interpretation:
Calculate the condensation rate and the overall cooling requirement, temperature and the relative humidity. Estimate the cooling load saved by recirculating the air.
Concept introduction:
Dew point is defined as the temperature at which air must be cooled so it becomes saturated with water vapor. In addition, Absolute humidity measures the amount of water vapor in the air.
(c)
Interpretation:
Explain why the given method is not valid.
Concept introduction:
Dew point is defined as the temperature at which air must be cooled so it becomes saturated with water vapor. In addition, Absolute humidity measures the amount of water vapor in the air.
