Moist air enters a duct at 10oC, 80% relative humidity, and a volumetric flow rate of 81m3/min. The air is heated as it flows through the duct and exists at 34oC. No moisture is added or removed.
Draw the cycle on the attached chart and determine:
a) The rate of heat transfer in KJ/s;
b) The relative humidity at the exit.
Using a psychometric diagram, describe the heating and humidification process from the following data. Initially the air was at dry bulb temperature (DBT) 35 ° C and RH 35%. air preheated to DBT 85 ° C. The heated air is then flowed through a humidifier to increase the RH to 25%. for this process, count,
a. change in absolute humidity of air from initial to final conditions = ..... (kg water / kg air)
b. change in air enthalpy from initial to final conditions = ..... (kj / kg air)
ASHRAE standard 62.2 states that the minimum acceptable rate of airflow into and out of
a room is 15cfm (cubic feet per minute). If air is supplied at 68°F with a relative humidity
of 45%, how many gallons of water (minimum) must be added to a portable room
humidifier before you go to sleep if you would like to maintain the room at 65% humidity
for 7 hours?
