Moist air at 30 °C and 50% relative humidity enters a dehumidifier operating at steady state with a mass flow rate of 319.35 kg/min. The moist air passes over a cooling coil and water vapor condenses. Condensate (condensed water) exits at 10 °C. Saturated moist air exits in a separate stream at the same temperature. The pressure remains constant at 1 bar. Determine (a) the rate at which water is condensed, in kg/min, and (b) the heat transfer rate during the cooling, in kW
