Consider two rooms that are identical except that one is maintained at 25°C and 40 percent relative humidity while the other is maintained at 20°C and 55 percent relative humidity. Noting that the amount of moisture is proportional to the vapor pressure, determine which room contains more moisture.
What happens when the temperature of air with 40% relative humidity at 30°C is lowered to 18°C? The saturation water vapor pressure is 4.25 kPa at 30°C and 2.07 kPa at 18°C
Hot air (3 m3/s) at 80 °C and 5 % relative humidity enters to a dryer and exit at 90% relative humidity. If the dryer working at adiabatic condition, what is the rate of water absorption in dryer (g water/s)?
