In a condenser, humid air at atmospheric pressure, 35 degree celsius and 90% relative humidity enters the process at a rate of 2.12 m3/s. Liquid water exits as a condensate. If the air exits at 20 degree celsius, determine the molal humidity of outlet air, absolute humidities of inlet and outlet air and flow rate of condensate in L/s.

A humid air stream flows into a condenser that also compresses the air stream. The inlet air is a 80°C and 1 atm absolute pressure, and contains 9 mol% water. The temperature is decreased to 14.5°C and the total pressure is increased to 2.8 atm absolute, resulting in condensation and removal of some of the water as liquid. The air leaving the condenser/compressor is then heated at constant pressure to 100°C. Calculate (a) the fraction of the incoming water that...

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....

Natural Gas (1 mol/s) composed of 85 mol% methane, 8 mole% ethane and 7 mol% CO2 is used to generate heat in a boiler. The fuel is fed to the boiler with 25% excess air that has a relative humidity of 35%. Both natural gas and humid air are fed at 250C. Heat from the combustion is transferred to liquid water that enters the heat exchanger as a liquid at 250C and leaves as a vapor at 1 bar and...
