Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.35P
A large beverage cooler resembles a small building and is to be maintained at about 35 F (2 C) and a low relative humidity. The walls and ceiling are well insulated and are finished on the inside with plywood. Assume that the outdoor temperature is generally higher than 35 F (2 C). In what direction will moisture tend to migrate? Where should the vapor retardant be located? Explain what might happen if the retardant is improperly located.

During a hot summer day when the air temperature is 35°C and the relative humidity is 70 percent, you buy a supposedly “cold” canned drink from a store. The store owner claims that the temperature of the drink is below 10°C. Yet the drink does not feel so cold, and you are skeptical since you notice no condensation forming outside the can. Can the store owner be telling the truth?
A cooling duct receives air at 1 atm, 32°C, and 70% relative humidity with a velocity of 120m/min. This
air passes over cooling coils filled with flowing water. This steadily flowing water experiences a for
temperature rise during its time in the cooling duct coils. Meanwhile, the airflow leaves the cooling
section saturated at 20°C. Determine (a) the rate of heat transfer, (b) the mass flow rate of the cooling
water, (c) the flow rate of any condensate formed, and (d) the exit velocity of the air stream. Assume
the cooling water has constant specific heat. Feel free to use the psychrometric chart on the next page
for the air properties.
How much heat and moisture must be added to 8 cubic meter per minute of air at 17 C dry bulb and 35% relative humidity to raise it to 40 C and 45% relative humidity?

Moist air undergoes a heating and humidification process at a pressure of 101.325 kPa from an initial state of 15°C db and 90% relative humidity to a final state at 22°C and 70% relative humidity. If the mass flow rate of the air at the initial state is 24.5 kg da/s, what is the increase in the water content of the air? Express your answer in kg/s.
