In an air sample with a dry-bulb temperature of 28°C and a wet-bulb temperature of 22°C what is the (relative humidity)?
An air-conditioning system operates at a total pressure of one atmosphere and consists of a heating section and an evaporative cooler. Air enters the heating section at 10 °C and 70 percent relative humidity at a rate of 30 m3/min, and it leaves the evaporative cooler at 20 °C and 60 percent relative humidity. Use this information to answer the following question. Choose the nearest value given in (a) – (e).The rate of water added to air in the evaporative cooler (kg/min) is
(a) 0.12
(b) 0.67
(c) 13
(d) 37
(e) 67
An air-conditioning system is to take in outdoor air at 10 C and 30 percent relative
humidity at a steady rate of 45 m3/min and to condition it to 25 C and 60 percent
relative humidity. The outdoor air is first heated to 22 C in the heating section and then
humidified by the injection of hot steam in the humidifying section. Assuming the entire
process takes place at a pressure of 100 kPa, determine
a. the rate of heat supply in the heating section and
b. the mass flow rate of the steam required in the humidifying section.
