Chapter 5, Problem 26P
In cold weather, you can sometimes "see" your breath. What you are seeing is a mist of small water droplets, the same as in clouds and fog. Suppose air leaves your mouth with temperature 35°C and humidity 0.035 kg/m3 and mixes with an equal amount of air at 5°C. and humidity 0.005 kg/m3
- What is the relative humidity of the mixed air if its temperature and humidity equal the averages of those of the two original air masses?
- Represent what happens by plotting three points in a graph like Figure 5.34.

You want to check if these measurements are correct. You are going to use a
balloon and rise in the corresponding altitudes. If the balloon weighs 1000kg
(all included, weight of yourself, equipment, inflated part etc) calculate the
volume of inflated part of the balloon, so that the initial acceleration is
15m/s?. Assume that the balloon is a sphere and neglect the deflated part of
the balloon as far as volume is concerned. Can you verify all measurements
with this volume of the balloon? What kind of adjustments do you need to
make in order to complete your mission?

In the duct in the figure, there is air flow from point 1 to point 2. The air pressure at
the inlet is 1.2x105 N/m² and the temperature is 330 K. The entrance area of the duct is
5 m², the air inlet speed is 10 m/s, and the exit speed is 30 m/s. What is the outlet pressure
under these conditions? (R-287 J/kg.K can be taken.)
