An air-conditioner cools a flow of ambient moist air at 30°C and 80% relative humidity with 0.24 kg/s flow. The exit temperature is 12°C and 40% relative humidity. Pressure is at 100 kPa throughout the system. Condensed water from the moist air intake leaves the air-conditioner at a temperature of 6°C. Find the flow rate of water from the system and the amounts of heat transfer rates needed to condense the water, cool the water vapor, cool the air, and the total heat transfer rate.
Air with a total pressure of 101.3 kPa, a temperature of 12 °C and a relative humidity of 75% is both heated and humidified by water vapor. The exit conditions from the system are 25°C temperature and 75% relative humidity. If the flow rate of dry air is 1.9 kg/s, how much kg/s should the flow of steam be given to the air?
The air conditions at the intake of an air compressor are 29 C, 50 percent relative humidity, and 101 kPa. The air is compressed to 400 kPa, then sent to an intercooler. If condensation of water vapor from the compressed air is to be prevented, what is the minimum temperature (tdp) to which the air can be cooled in the intercooler?Use theoretical calculation for this problem.
Saturated ambient air with a db-temperature of 5°C and a mass flow rate of 0.9 kg/s is divided into two streams. One stream passes through a heating section and leaves it with a relative humidity of 25%. The conditions of the other stream that bypasses the heater remains unchanged. The two streams are then mixed to produce the supply air stream at 24°C. The pressure is constant at 101.3 kPa. -Determine the partial pressure of water vapor of the heated air in kPa.-The heat input by the heating coil in kW.-The mass flow of air through the bypass section in kg/s.
5. Air enters a cooling section at 97 kPa, 35°C, and 30 percent relative humidity at a rate of 6 m³/min, where it is cooled until the moisture in the air starts condensing. Determine the temperature of the air at the exit and the rate of heat transfer in the cooling section.
A bedroom is to be conditioned that the total heat load is 20 kW and the sensible heat ratio is 0.4. The room is to be maintained at 22°C DB and 55% relative humidity.

Air enters an air conditioner with a flow rate of 600 m3/h at 1 atm, 35°C and 75% relative humidity. It comes out as saturated air at 15°C. During this process, some of the moisture in the air condenses and is expelled at 15°C. Find the amount of heat withdrawn from the air, the flow rate of the moisture removed from the air and show them on the psychrometric diagram.
