Would entering a room which contains air that is 80% nitrogen, 15% oxygen and 5% carbon dioxide alter ventilation rate?
Can you make a schematic diagram for this problem? 600 lps of air at 30°C dry-bulb and 22°C wet-bulb temperatures is heated to a temperature of 45°C and enters the dryer. The air leaves the dryer adiabatically and its relative humidity is 70%. Determine: (a.) The water evaporated kg/hr; (b.) The volume air leaving the dryer in cu.m/min; and (c.) kJ requirement of the dryer per kg of water evaporated.
Home Work (1):
Moist air at a state of 60°C dry-bulb, 32.1°C wet-bulb (sling) and 101.325 kPa barometric
pressure mixes adiabatically with moist air at 5°C dry-bulb, 0.5°C wet-bulb (sling) and
101.325 kPa barometric pressure. If the masses of dry air are 3 kg and 2 kg. respectively,
calculate the moisture content, enthalpy and dry-bulb temperature of the mixture.
Home Work (2):
Calculate the load on a cooler coil which cools the moist air mentioned in example 2 by
5 degrees. What is the flow rate of chilled water necessary to effect this cooling if flow and
return temperatures of 10°C and 15°C are satisfactory?
