Question

On an uncomfortable summer day, the air is at 30.6°C (87°F) and 80% relative humidity. A laboratory air conditioner is to deliver 28.3 m^3/min of air at 12.8°C (55°F) in order to maintain the interior air at a comfortable temperature and humidity. Estimate the rate (in kg/min) at which water is condensed and the net tons of cooling required, where 1 ton of cooling = -12,000 BTU/h = -12,650 kJ/h.
