An outside-air sample is taken on a day when the temperature is 78 F and the relative humidity is 40%.

(a) Use the psychrometric chart to state as many physical properties of the air as you can without doing any calculations. For each one, provide a brief description of the property listed.

(b) A thermometer is mounted on the back porch of your house. What temperature would it read for the air described in this problem?

(c) A sample of outside air is cooled at constant pressure. At what temperature would condensation begin?

(d) You step out of your neighborhood pool and feel quite cold until you dry off. Explain why. Estimate your skin temperature while you were still wet. Explain your answer. What would be different if the relative humidity were 98%?

On a hot summer day (95°F), you walk outside from an air-conditioned room (75°F) watching TV and begin jogging. Describe how your body reacts physiologically to the change in temperature. Be sure to include the following terms: set point, normal range, homeostasis, stimulus, sensor, input signal, integrating center, output signal, target and response (10 pts), include examples of tissues and organs that make up the sensor, input signal, integrating center, output signal, target (5 pts).

Suppose outside temperature is 55◦F, while the temperature inside a building is 72◦F. The building is heated but not air conditioned, so the partial pressure of water vapor is the same both inside and outside the building. Finally, suppose the dew point outside is 40◦F. What is the dew point inside? What are the relative humidities inside and outside the building? (We are most comfortable if relative humidity is between 30% and 50%. This question shows why air in heated...

The air pressure in a tire sitting outside is 30 psi on a nice fall day when the temperature is about 80 F. (Assuming that the density of the air inside the tire does not change with temperature and that the air may be treated as an ideal gas), what would the tire pressure be: A) At 32 F? B) At 100 F? If the recommended tire pressure is between 28 and 32 psi, do you need to do anything...
