Sheet 4 7. In a mixing chamber, 10 kg/s of just saturated humid air at the temperature 2 C and a ow of 7.9 kg/s of humid air (relative humidity 80 %) at the temperature of 32 C are mixed adiabatically at a pressure of 1 bar. 1. Determine the temperature of the mixture, using the attached h1+x , x-diagram. 2. How much liquid water per kilogram of dry air does the mixture contain? 3. What heat ow would have to be added to the mixing chamber to produce a just saturated (fog-free) mixture? Assume that changes of kinetic and potential energy can be neglected. 8. The state of the ambient air should be changed in an air-conditioning unit so that the air leaving the unit has a temperature of 20 C and a relative humidity of 80 %. In the summer, the ambient air is cooled isobarically in a cooler and dehydrated continuously. Then, the air is heated to the desired state (20 C and 80 % relative humidity). 1. How much heat has to be transferred per kilogram of dry air in the cooler and which temperature does the air have behind the cooler? The state of the ambient air is 30 C and 90 % relative humidity. In the winter, the ambient air is heated and then mixed adiabatically with water vapour of 100 C to the desired state. 2. How many grams of water vapour have to be added per kilogram of dry air and what temperature does the ambient air have after the heating? The state of the ambient air is 4 C and 70 % relative humidity. Assume that water vapour is a perfect gas with cp = 2.0 JK1g1 . The total pressure is 1 bar. Neglect changes of kinetic and potential energy, as well as the enthalpy of liquid water. Use the attached h1+x , x-diagram to solve this problem.
