A solution of sugar in water is to be concentrated from 5%wt sugar to 20%. The solution is fed continuously to bubble column. Air at 450C with a dew point of 40C is bubbled through the column and emerges saturated.The humidification of the air may be considered adiabatic.

Air, saturated with water 5% sugar solution

20% sugar solution

Air T = 45oC T dew point = 4oC Use the psychometric chart to solve the following problems: a) What are the absolute humidities of the entering and exiting air? b) How many kilograms of dry air must be fed per kilogram of the entering sugar solution? What is the corresponding volume of the entering wet air? (use the chart for the latter problem)
