An air-conditioning system operates at a total pressure of 1 atm and consists of a heating
section and a humidifier that supplies wet steam (saturated water vapor) at 100 degrees
celsius. Air enters the heating section at 10 degrees celsius and 70 percent relative humidity
at a rate of 35 m^3/min, and it leaves the humidifying section at 20 degree celcius and 60

Air at a dry bulb temperature of 20oC and relative humidity of 80% is to be heated and humidified to 40oC and 40% relative humidity. The following options are available for this objective: (a) by passing air through a heated water-spray air washer; (b) by preheating sensibly, and then passing through a water-spray washer with recirculated water until relative humidity rises to 95% and then again heating sensibly to the final required state. Determine for (a) and (b) the total heating required, the make-up water required in water-spray air washer, and the humidifying efficiency of the recirculated spray water.
