3/min. The mixture is heated as it flows through the duct and exits at 30°C. No moisture is added or removed, and the mixture pressure remains approximately constant at 1 bar. For steady-state operation, determine (a) the rate of heat transfer, in kJ/min, and (b) the relative humidity at the exit. Changes in kinetic and potential energy can be ignored. Point 1 Point 1 Point 2 Point 1 Point 2 Moist air at 30°C and 50% relative humidity enters a dehumidifier operating at steady state with a volumetric flow rate of 280 m3/min. The moist air passes over a cooling coil and water vapor condenses. Condensate exits the dehumidifier saturated at 10°C. Saturated moist air exits in a separate stream at the same temperature. There is no significant loss of energy by heat transfer to the surroundings and pressure remains constant at 1.013 bar. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of the dry air, in kg/min, (b) the rate at which water is condensed, in kg per kg of dry air flowing through the control volume, and (c) the required refrigerating capacity. Point 1 Point 1
Point 2 Moist air with a temperature of 22°C and a wet-bulb temperature of 9°C enters a steam-spray humidifier. The mass flow rate of the dry air is 90 kg/min. Saturated water vapor at 110°C is injected into the mixture at a rate of 52 kg/h. There is no heat transfer with the surroundings, and the pressure is constant throughout at 1 bar. Using the psychrometric chart, determine at the exit (a) the humidity ratio and (b) the temperature, in °C. Point 1 Point 1 Point 1 Air at 35°C and 10% relative humidity enters an evaporative cooler with a volumetric flow rate of 5000 ft 3/min. Moist air exits the cooler at 20°C. Water is added to the soaked pad of the cooler as a liquid at 20°C and evaporates fully into the moist air. There is no heat transfer with the surroundings and the pressure is constant throughout at 1 atm. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of the water to the soaked pad, in kg/h, and (b) the relative humidity of the moist air at the exit to the evaporative cooler. Point 1 Point 1 Point 1 A stream consisting of 142 m 3/min of moist air at a temperature of 5°C and a humidity ratio of 0.002 kg(vapor)/kg(dry air) is mixed adiabatically with a second stream consisting of 425 m 3/min of moist air at 24°C and 50% relative humidity. The pressure is constant throughout at 1 bar. Determine (a) the humidity ratio and (b) the temperature of the exiting mixed stream, in °C. Point 1 Point 2
