Air at 30 °C, 1.05 bar, and 80% relative humidity enters a dehumidifier operating at steady state. Moist air exits at 15 °C, 1 bar, and 95% relative humidity. Condensate exits in a separate stream at 15 °C. A refrigerant flows through the cooling coil of the dehumidifier with an increase in its specific enthalpy of 100 kJ per kg of refrigerant flowing. Heat transfer between the humidifier and its surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. Determine the refrigerant flow rate, in kg per kg of dry air.

Part A - Molar mass A gas mixture contains 3.6 kg of H2 with M_bar1 = 2.02 kg/kmol , 8.1 kg of N2 with M_bar2 = 28.01 kg/kmol , and 5.1 kg of Ar with M_bar3 = 39.95 kg/kmol. What is the apparent molar mass of the mixture? Express your answer with appropriate units to three significant figures. Part B - Specific enthalpy The mixture from Part A is initially at 330 K and 155 kPa . Heat is added until the mixture is at 430 K and 255 kPa. If cp1 = 14.307 kJ/kg⋅K, cp2 = 1.039 kJ/kg⋅K , and cp3 = 0.5203 kJ/kg⋅K, what is the change in specific enthalpy of the mixture using the perfect gas model? Express your answer with appropriate units to three significant figures. Part C - Entropy of mixing The mixture in Part A was formed by taking containers of H2, N2, and Ar all at 330 K and 155 kPa and allowing them to mix. Using the energy equation and ideal gas equation of state, it can be shown that if the gases are all initially at the same temperature and pressure, then…
