Chapter 3, Problem 3.48P
Conditions in one zone of a dual-duct conditioning system are to be maintained at 75 F (24 C) and 50 percent relative humidity (RH). The cold deck air is at 52 F (11 C) and 90 percent RH, while the hot deck air is outdoor air at 90 F (32 C) and 20 percent RH. The sensible heat factor for the zone is 0.65. Assume sea-level pressure. In what proportion must the warm and cold air be mixed to satisfy the space condition? If the total zone load is 50 tons (176 kW), what is the total volume flow rate of air supplied to the zone? Sketch the states and processes on a psychrometric chart. Use (a) English units and (b) SI units.

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?
A space to be conditioned has a sensible heat load of 80 kw and a latent heat load of 20 kw and is to be
maintained at 20°C and 50% relative humidity. Outside air is at 35°C and 60% RH. The conditioned air
will enter the space at 15°C. If 40% of the supply air is fresh and the rest is recirculated, the

In an uncomfortable summer day, the air is at 87OF and 80% relative humidity. A laboratory air conditioner is to deliver 1.00 x 103ft3/min of air at 55OF in order to maintain the interior air at an average temperature of 75OF and relative humidity of 40%.a. If the vent switch on the air conditioner is turned to the open position, outside air enters the unit as shown belown the air conditioner, the air is cooled to a temperature low enough to condense the necessary amount of water and reheated to 55OF, at which point it has the same absolute humidity as the room air. Determine the rate (lb/min) at which water is condensed, the temperature to which the air must be cooled to condense water at this rate, and the net tons of cooling required (Q), where 1 ton of cooling = -12,000 Btu/h.
Assume A = 87 οF, B = 80 %, C = 55 οF.

If the ventilation switch of the air conditioner is “open”, the air from outside enters the unit as shown in the drawing (I): The air conditioner cools the air to a temperature low enough to condense the required amount of water and reheat it to 13 ° C (unsaturated current), at which point it has the same absolute humidity as the air in the building. Calculate: a. the speed at which condenses water (kg / min) b. the temperature at which the air must be cooled to condense water at this rate. Do the calculations without using the psychrometric chart (although 1 atm of current pressure can be assumed).
