An air-conditioning system operates at a total pressure of 1 atm and consists of a heating section and an evaporative cooler. Air enters the heating section at 15°C and 55 percent relative humidity at a rate of 30 m3 /min, and it leaves the evaporative cooler at 25°C and 45 percent relatively humidity. Determine (a) the temperature and relative humidity of the air when it leaves the heating section, (b) the rate of heat transfer in the heating section, and (c) the rate of water added to air in the evaporative cooler.
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)?
At 1 atm, 27°C, and 50% relative humidity, atmospheric air from the inside of a car enters the evaporator part of the air conditioner. The air returns to the car at a temperature of 10°C and a relative humidity of 90% (Figure Q1). The passenger compartment has a volume of 2 m3 and requires 5 air changes per minute to keep the interior of the automobile at the necessary degree of comfort.
(a) State the assumptions and determine the dew point and wet bulb temperature, enthalpy, specific humidity and specific volume at the inlet to the evaporator section, and enthalpy and specific humidity at the exit of evaporative section using psychrometric chart.
(b) Determine the rate of condensation of water vapor in the evaporator section, in kg/min.
(c) In kW, determine the required heat transfer rate from the ambient air to the evaporator fluid.
(d) Sketch the psychrometric diagram for the atmospheric air flowing through the air conditioning process and discuss the process path.
