- A space is to be maintained at 75 F db and 40% relative humidity. The total heat gain to the space is 62,000 Btu/hr with a SHF of 0.8. The outdoor air requirement is 500 cfm. The outdoor air has a temperature of 90 F and 50% relative humidity. Assume that the supply air has a temperature of 50 F db. Determine the following: a. Quantity of supplied air b.

- Saturated ambient air with a db-temperature of 5°C and a mass flow rate of 0.9 kg/s is divided into two streams. One stream passes through a heating section and leaves it with a relative humidity of 25%. The conditions of the other stream that bypasses the heater remains unchanged. The two streams are then mixed to produce the supply air stream at 24°C.
