Moist air is heated and humidified by passing it first over a heating coil and then adding moisture. The moist air enters the system at 6°C DBT and 4°C WBT at a rate of 100 kg/min. The humidifier injects saturated steam at 108°C. The moist air exits the system at 30°C DBT and 40% RH. Determine the rate of heat addition by heating coil and the rate of mass addition by the humidifier.

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...

An air conditioning system is to take in outdoor air at 283K and 30percent relative humidity at a steady rate of 45 m3/min and to condition it to 298K and 60% relative humidity. The outdoor air is first heated to 295K in the heating section and then humidified by the injection of hot steam in the humidifying section. Assuming the entire process takes place at a pressure of 100kPa, determine (i) the rate of heat supply in the heating section...

Two products enter an indirect contact heat exchanger that uses steam for heating. The first product which contains 15% solids enters at the rate of 3 kg/hr and at 10 °C. The second stream which contains 20% solids enters at the rate of 4 kg/hr and at 20 °C. Saturated steam at 140 °C enters the heat exchanger at 0.5 kg/hr with a quality of 95% and exits at 10% quality at 140 °C. The resulting mixture enters an indirect...

10. Air is to be heated by passing it over a bank of 2.8-m-long tubes inside which steam is condensing at 90ºC. Air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 20ºC and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 5.2 m/s. The outer diameter of the tubes is 1.6 cm, and the tubes are arranged staggered with longitudinal and transverse pitches of SL = ST= 4 cm. There are 30 rows in the flow direction with 10 tubes...

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.

- a vapour-compression air-conditioning cycle where the compressor has an isentropic efficiency of 75%. Refrigerant (R12) is used as the working fluid with a mass now rate of 0.04kg/s. saturated vapour eaters the compressor at 0.5 MPa and leaves to the condenser at 1.2IMPa. The air-conditioner cools down the station to 26°C through an evaporator, and rejects heat to the 34°C ambient through a condenser. (a) Sketch and label the schematic of the air-conditioning cycle and its T-S and P-h...

Air at 95°F, 1 atm, and 10% relative humidity enters an evaporative cooler operating at steady state. The volumetric flow rate of the incoming air is 1765 ft3/min. Liquid water at 68°F enters the cooler and fully evaporates. Moist air exits the cooler at 70°F, 1 atm. There is no significant heat transfer between the device and its surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. a)Determine the mass flow rate of the dry air in lb(dry air)/min....
