Air at 90.0°C and 1.0 atm (absolute) contains 7.0 mole% water. A continuous stream of this air enters a compressor–condenser, in which the temperature is lowered to 18.6°C and the pressure is raised to 2.90 atm. The air leaving the condenser is then heated isobarically to 90.0°C. Calculate the fraction of water that is condensed from the air, the relative humidity of the outlet air at 90.0°C, and the ratio (m3 outlet air at 90.0°C)/(m3 feed air) at 90.0°C. Find...
