Air enters a heating section at 95kPa, 10°C and 30% relative humidity. The air flow rate is 6 m¾/min. The air leaves the heating section at 25°C. Since the psychrometric chart is invalid for problems that are not at atmospheric pressure, perform long-hand calculations and determine the following: (i) the heat addition rate, and (i) the relative humidity of the exiting air.
The air in a house is at 19°C, 59% relative humidity, and total pressure 89kPa. If air is cooled at constant pressure, the temperature at which moisture begins to codense is:
Cooling water leaves at 35ºC and at 100 kg/s from the condenser of a thermal power station and enters a cooling tower. In this tower, the water is cooled to 22ºC with air entering at 1 atm, 20ºC and 60% relative humidity, leaving saturated at 30ºC. Determine: a) The volumetric flow rate of air entering the tower. b) The mass flow rate of the make-up water.

The leaving condition of the air is 14 C dry-bulb temperature and 90 percent relative humdity. Using properties from the psychrometric chart, (a) calculate the refrigeratingcapacity in kilowatts and (b) determine the rate of water removal from the air
Two air streams at standard atmosphere are mixed adiabatically with the first air stream at 15°C db, 70% relative humidity and the second air stream at 35°C db, 45% relative humidity. The moist air mass of the first air steam is 7.4 kg/s and the moist air mass of the second air stream is 3 kg/s. What is the dry bulb temperature of the mixed air flow? Express your answer in °C.
An incoming air flow of 200 m3/h at a temperature of 20°C and a humidity ratio of 0.012 kgv/kga is mixed in a chamber with another incoming air flow of 500 m3/h at a temperature of 15°C and a humidity ratio of 0.008 kgv/kga. Based on the corresponding mass flow rates (and NOT the original volumetric flow rates) determine: a) The mass flow rate of the mixed air (i.e., the combination of the two flows) leaving the chamber in kg/s. b) The temperature of the mixed air leaving the chamber. Please use PyscPro software for solving this question. Notes: For part (a), you will first need to find the density or specific volume for each state (density = 1/specific volume). The units the 'v' and 'a' are intended as subscripts: · kgv = kg_v = kgv = kilogram(s) [vapour] kga = kg_a =kga = kilogram(s) [air]
