Use the on-line psychrometric chart (link in this module) to help solve this problem. The surface temperature of an uninsulated steel duct carrying cooled air is 18°C. If the duct passes through a space where the air surrounding it is 26.0°C db, 55% RH; will moisture condense on the exterior surface of the duct? Steps to solve this problem Calculate the dew point temperature of the air surrounding the duct. Compare the dew point temperature of the air surrounding the duct with the surface temperature of the duct to answer the question. Choose your answer from the options below. a. Yes the moisture will condense on the duct as the surface temperature of the duct is below the dew point temperature of the surrounding air. b. Yes the moisture will condense on the duct as the surface temperature of the duct is above the dew point temperature of the surrounding air. c. No the moisture will not condense on the duct as the surface temperature of the duct is below the dew point temperature of the surrounding air. d. No the moisture will not condense on the duct as the surface temperature of the duct is above the dew point temperature of the surrounding air.

Question
QUESTION 4 Use the on-line psychrometric chart (link in this module) to help solve this problem. The surface temperature of an uninsulated steel duct carrying cooled air is 18°C. If the duct passes through a space where the air surrounding it is 26.0°C db, 55% RH; will moisture condense on the exterior surface of the duct? Steps to solve this problem Calculate the dew point temperature of the air surrounding the duct. Compare the dew point temperature of the air surrounding the duct with the surface temperature of the duct to answer the question. Choose your answer from the options below. O a. Yes the moisture will condense on the duct as the surface temperature of the duct is below the dew point temperature of the surrounding air. O b. Yes the moisture will condense on the duct as the surface temperature of the duct is above the dew point temperature of the surrounding air. O c. No the moisture will not condense on the duct as the surface temperature of the duct is below the dew point temperature of the surrounding air. O d. No the moisture will not condense on the duct as the surface temperature of the duct is above the dew point temperature of the surrounding air.
