An air-conditioning plant is designed to maintain a room at a condition of 20oC dry bulb and specific humidity 0.0079 when the outside condition is 30oC dry bulb and 40% percentage saturation and the corresponding heat gains are 18000 W (sensible) and 3600 (latent). The supply air contains one-third outside air by mass and the supply temperature is to be 15oC dry bulb. The plant consists of a mixing chamber for fresh and recirculated air, an air washer with chilled spray water with an efficiency of 80%, an after heater battery and supply fan. Neglecting temperature changes in fan and ducting, calculate:
a. The mass flow rat of supply air necessary;
b. The specific humidity of the supply air;
c. The cooling duty of the washer;
d. The heating duty of the after heater
(use the psychrometric chart assuming the barometric pressure is 1.001325 bar)
