Introduction to Heat Transfer
- In an air conditioning system, return air at 24°C dry-bulb temperature and 40% relative humidity is mixed with outdoor ambient air at 30°C dry-bulb temperature and 70% relative humidity. The dry air mass flow rate of outdoor air is 20% of the supply air mass flow rate to the space. The pressure is constant at 101.3 kPa.-Calculate the dry-bulb temperature of the supply air in °C.-The humidity ratio of the supply air.-The enthalpy of supply air in kJ/kg.arrow_forwardI need this with perfect answer 143103 An air-conditioning system operates at a total pressure of 1 atm and consists of a heating section and an evaporative cooler. Air enters the heating section at 15°C and 55 percent relative humidity at a rate of 30 m3 /min, and it leaves the evaporative cooler at 25°C and 45 percent relatively humidity. Determine (a) the temperature and relative humidity of the air when it leaves the heating section, (b) the rate of heat transfer in the heating section, and (c) the rate of water added to air in the evaporative cooler.arrow_forwarda stream of outdoor air is mixed with a stream of return airin an airconditioning system that operates at 101 kpa pressure.the flow rate of outdoor air is 3kg/s and its condition is 30 C Tbd and 23 C Twb. the flow rate of return air is 2.5 kg/s and its condition is 15 C Twb and 60% RH.

- An incoming air flow of 200 m3/h at a temperature of 20°C and a humidity ratio of 0.012 kgv/kga is mixed in a chamber with another incoming air flow of 500 m3/h at a temperature of 15°C and a humidity ratio of 0.008 kgv/kga. Based on the corresponding mass flow rates (and NOT the original volumetric flow rates) determine: a) The mass flow rate of the mixed air (i.e., the combination of the two flows) leaving the chamber in kg/s. b) The temperature of the mixed air leaving the chamber. Please use PyscPro software for solving this question. Notes: For part (a), you will first need to find the density or specific volume for each state (density = 1/specific volume). The units the 'v' and 'a' are intended as subscripts: · kgv = kg_v = kgv = kilogram(s) [vapour] kga = kg_a =kga = kilogram(s) [air]arrow_forwardAn air-conditioning system operates at a total pressure of 1 atm and consists of a heating section and anevaporative cooler.

The outdoor air is at 110 F db and 40 % relative humidity. The air is supplied to the space at 55 F.

The sensible heat load is 100 kW, and the latent heat load is 15 kW. Outside air is at 38C DB and 25C WB temp. Air is supplied to the space at 13C. If all-outside air system (no recirculation) is to be implemented, determine: (a) the cooling capacity in tons; (b) capacity of supply air fan in cmh; and (c) the coil bypass factor.arrow_forwardFor summer air conditioner application of a room; The sensible heat gain of the room is 13kW, the latent heat gain is 3kW, and the design conditions are determined as 21°C relative humidity 55%.

The recycled duct air in a centralized air conditioning system takes in air at a rate of 60 m3/min with a dry bulb temperature of 20 oC and 30% relative humidity. The recycled air is mixed adiabatically with fresh outdoor air at a rate of 80 m3/min with a dry bulb temperature of 30 oC and 50% relative humidity. Calculate the volumetric flow rate, dry bulb temperature and relative humidity of the mixed air stream.
