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]
