Air enters a food dehydration system at condition 1 and exits at condition 2. What is the change in enthalpy (kJ/kg dry air) of the air as it passes through the system: Condition 1: Tdb = 30C; Twb = 15C. Condition 2: Tdb = 100C; Twb = 40C. Select the closest answer.

Expert Solution

From Psychrometric chart

at DBT 30°C and WBT 15°C Enthalpy (h1) = 41.62 kJ/kg

at DBT 100°C and WBT 40°C Enthalpy (h2) = 161.66 kJ/kg

Change in enthalpy = h2 - h1 = 161.66 - 41.62 = 120.04 kJ/kg

Even you can calculate from Psychrometric Calculator
