and 65% respectively. Find
(i)The dew point, (ii) Specific volume of the constituent and
(iii) The humidity ratio.
Q.4 The universal gas constant, R = 8.3143 kJ/ kg mole K
In an air condition space
50 kg of dry air/sec of fresh air at 45 0C DBT and 30% relative humidity is mixed with
room air at 250C DBT and 50% relative humidity. The mass flow rate of recirculated
air is 450 kg/sec. The mixed air flows over a cooling coil which has an apparatus dew
