Answer #1

From noaa table at 40% RH or higher values apparent temperature start devation from air temperature.

At low RH apparent temperature feel low from air temperature. exp. At 40% RH apparent temperature feels 85degree F. So It is relatively good for human beings.

At higher RH apparent temperature feel higher for air temperature. Exp.- if RH is 65% and air temperature is 86degree F then we feel 93degree F. At higher values of RH is extremely danger for human.  National Weather Service will initiate alert procedures when the Heat Index is expected to exceed 105°-110°F (depending on local climate) for at least 2 consecutive days.

Atmosphric air at 40 F and 50% relative humidity enters the heating section of an airconditioning device at a volumetric flow rate of 100ft^3/min. Water vapor is added to the heated air to increase the relative humidity to 55%. The temperature after the heating section is 72F and the temperature at the exit is 74F. Using the appropriate fomulas: a) determine the rate of the heat transfer in Btu/min. b) determine the mass flow of water vapor in lbm/min.

You own a mechanically ventilated swine facility. The dry bulb temperature inside the facility is 50 degrees F and outside is only 30 degrees F. Inside you have a relative humidity of 70% and outside the relative humidity is 20%. To keep the humidity from getting any higher you need to remove 12 gallons of water per hour from the facility with the ventilation air. At what rate (cfm) must the fans pull inside air out of the building? Fan...

A natural draft-cooling tower is to remove 50 MW of waste heat from cooling water, which enters the tower at 42 °C and leaves at 27 °C. Atmospheric air enters the tower at standard atmospheric pressure with dry and wet bulb temperatures of 23 °C and 18 °C respectively (approximately 62% relative humidity), and leaves saturated at 37 °C. a) Sketch a fully labelled schematic diagram of the system identifying all the state points.

Using the Debye approximation, calculate the temperature dependence of the heat capacity for the limit where T is much smaller than the Debye temperature (in 1 and 2 dimensions). Then, the sound velocity of diamond is 12000 m/s whereas lead has 2000 m/s. For a finite fixed temperature in the limit T<<TD, which of the two materials will have the highest heat capacity? From knowledge of the phonon dispersion of a mono-atomic 1D chain, why does diamond have a higher...

The Consumer Price Index             The Consumer Price Index represents the average price of goods that households consume. Many thousands of goods are included in such an index. Here consumers are represented as buying only food (pizza) and gas as their basket of goods. Here is a representation of the kind of data Bureau of Economic Analysis collects to construct a consumer price index. In the base year, 2008, both the prices of goods purchased, and the quantity of goods...
