Moist air at a dry bulb temperature of 22°C has a relative humidity of 60% when the barometric pressure is 101.325 kPA.
Determine:
a) the partial pressures of vapor, kPa
b) the dew point temperature, °C
c) the enthalpy of the vapor, kJ/kg
At an altitude of 1,600m, the atmospheric pressure is 81.49kPa. What is the specific
humidity and relative humidity at this altitude when the dry and wet bulb temperatures
are measured to be 10ºC and 5ºC respectively? Note, due to the low atmospheric
pressure at 1,600m, the 1atm psychrometric chart is not valid for this problem. You will
receive no points if you use it
Result
Relative humidity should be greater then 1 if we use 1600m altitude in solution not 1 atm
In an attempt to conserve water and to be awarded LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, a 20,000-liter cistern has been installed during construction of a new building. The cistern collects water from an HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) system designed to provide 2830 cubic meters of air per minute at 22°C and 50% relative humidity after converting it from ambient conditions (31°C, 70% relative humidity). The collected condensate serves as the source of water for lawn maintenance. Estimate (a) the rate of intake of air at ambient conditions in cubic feet per minute and (b) the hours of operation required to fill the cistern.
