If the temperature inside a room is 25°C and the temperature outside is ?10°C:

a. What is the maximum relative humidity that can be accommodated inside the room before the window fogs over? (Assume the inside of the window is not insulated from the outside temperature).

b. If it is a double-pane window such that the inside of the window is perfectly insulated from the outside, what will the maximum relative humidity be?

In an air conditioning system, the inside and outside conditions of air are 25 °C DBT and 50% RH, and 40 °C DBT and 27 °C WBT, respectively. The room sensible heat ratio is 0.8, while 50% of the room air is rejected to atmosphere and replaced with an equal quantity of fresh air before entering the air conditioning apparatus. If the fresh air added is 100 m3 /min and the air density is 1.2 kg/ m3 with zero air...

An uncatalyzed reaction has a rate of 4.4 x 10-7 s–1 at room temperature (25 °C). When an enzyme is added the rate is 3.3 x 104 s–1. If the height of the activation barrier for the uncatalyzed rate is 28 kcal/mol, what is the height of the activation barrier for the catalyzed rate? Report your answer in terms of kcal/mol to the nearest tenths. Also, assume the pre-exponential terms for the uncatalyzed and catalyzed reactions are the same.

: A suspension of colloids at room temperature (25°C) contains CaS04 in (a) 3 mM and (b) 30 mM concentration. Find the Debye length (in nm) for both the cases. Use relevant data given in lecture 12-13. (c) Why do you suppose the Debye length changes with change in salt concentration? Provide reasoning from colloidal science to support your answer. (d) If NaCI was used instead of CaS04, how would the Debye length values change for cases (a) and (b)?...

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...
