Moist air enters a dehumidifier at the rate of 0.26 lbm/s. Water drains out of the device at a rate of 23 lbm/hr. Determine the velocity, in ft/s, at which the (less moist) air exits the device if the area of the exit port is 1.04 ft2. Assume that the density of the less moist air is 2.5 · 10-3 lbm/ft3.

Moist air at 30 °C and 50% relative humidity enters a dehumidifier operating at steady state with a mass flow rate of 319.35 kg/min. The moist air passes over a cooling coil and water vapor condenses. Condensate (condensed water) exits at 10 °C. Saturated moist air exits in a separate stream at the same temperature. The pressure remains constant at 1 bar. Determine (a) the rate at which water is condensed, in kg/min, and (b) the heat transfer rate during...
