EMH322/3 APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS TUTORIAL 2 PSYCHROMETRY AND AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEMS 1. The pressure and temperature of the air in a room are 100 kPa and 30°C. If the relative humidity is 30 per cent, find the partial pressure of the vapour and the dew point, the specific volume of the air and water vapour, and the specific humidity. 2. A tank contains 10 kg of dry air and 0.1 kg of water vapour at 30°C and total pressure of 100 kPa, Determine (a) the specific humidity, (b) the relative humidity, and (c) the volume of the tank, 3. An air-vapour mixture at 30°C and 100 kPa has a relative humidity of 60 percent. Determine (a) the humidity ratio, (b) the dew-point, (c) the enthalpy. in kikg dry (where h=0 at 0°C), and (4) the specitie volume, in m3/ke dry air. 4. For atmospheric air at 1 atm, 30°C, and 50 per cent relative humidity, using the psychrometric chart, determine (a) the specific humidity, (b) the enthalpy (in Ki/(kg dry ain)), (c) the wet-bulb temperature, (d) the dew-point temperature, and (e) the specific volume of the air (in m3/kg dry air) 5. Air is heated in a heating section of diameter 25 cm, containing a 5 kW electric resistance heater. At the entrance, the air is at 1 atm, 15°C, and 30 percent relative humidity and travels at 10 m/s, Determine (a) the exit temperature, (b) the exit relative humidity of the air, and (c) the exit velocity. 6. An air-conditioning system consists of a heating section and a humidifier which supplies wet steam (saturated water vapour) at 100°C. The air at 15°C and 60 pereent yy enters the heating section at a rate of 55m3/min, and leaves the humidifying section at 20°C and 50 percent relative humidity. If the total pressure of the air-conditioning system is | atm, determine (a) the temperature and relative humidity of the air when it leaves the heating section, (b) the rate of heat transfer in the heating section, and (¢) the rate at which water is added to the air in the humidifying section. 7. Air at 1 atm, 35°C, and 70 percent relative humidity enters a window air-conditioner, at a rate of 10 m3/min and leaves as saturated air at 10°C. Part of the moisture in the air which condenses during the process is also removed at 10°C, Determine the rate of heat and moisture removal from the air,
