An air conditioning system is to take outdoor air at 30 oC and 70% relative humidity at a steady rate of 10 m3/s and to condition it to 25 oC and 50% relative humidity. The outdoor air is first cooled down to 13.9 oC using cooling coil and then heated to the desired condition in the heating section. Assuming the air is at 1 atm pressure,
- Draw the air conditioning process on the attached psychometric chart.
- Determine the mass flow rate of the dry air.
- Determine the amount of the water condensed by the cooling coil.
- Determine the amount of heat removed by the cooling coil.
- Determine the rates of heat supplied in the heating section.

Air enters an air-conditioning system that uses refrigerant-134a
at 30°C and 70 percent relative humidity at a rate of 4 m3/min. The
refrigerant enters the cooling section at 700 kPa with a quality of
20 percent and leaves as saturated vapor. The air is cooled to 20°C
at a pressure of 90kPa .

Relative humidity isn't everything. Why is it that outdoor air
of 80 Fo at 55% humidity will feel more “muggy” than a 50 Fo cave
at 75% humidity? What other parameter is a better measure of the
actual amount of moisture in the air, and how do we define it? Then
give two examples of when keeping close track of moisture in the
air is important.

Air enters an air conditioning unit at 32oC, 80% relative
humidity, and with a mass flowrate of 12 kg/min. It is to be
conditioned to 25oC and 50% relative humidity. In order to do this,
part of the moisture in the air must be removed as condensate at
30oC. Be able to draw the path that the atmospheric air takes on
the psychrometric chart. Find
a. The rate of moisture removal from the air, mw
b. The rate of...

Humid air at 155 kPa,
40°C, and 70 percent relative humidity is cooled at constant
pressure in a pipe to its dew-point temperature. Calculate the heat
transfer, in kJ/kg dry air, required for this process. Use data
from the tables.
The heat transfer
is kJ/kg dry air.

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...
