Project: Part 4
Q1. Write a code to recreate the psychrometric chart by plotting constant a) specific volume
lines, b) relative humidity lines and c) specific enthalpy lines with dry bulb temperature varying
between 5◦ C and 50◦ C and specific humidity varying between 0 and 0.03 Kg/Kg dry air. The
constant lines for the above mentioned properties should be drawn at the following values
(a) 0.80, 0.85, 0.90 and 0.95 m3 /Kg dry air
(b) 10% to 100% at intervals of 10 percent
(c) corresponding to WBT varying from 5◦ C to 30◦ C at intervals of 5 degrees
Q2. For a conditioned space, sensible and latent heat gain are 20 kW and 5 kW, respectively.
Inside design conditions are 25◦ C DBT and 50% RH. The return air from the space is mixed
with the outside air before entering the cooling coil in the ratio of 4:1 by mass. The outside
conditions are 43◦ C DBT and 27.5◦ C WBT. Plot a graph showing the behaviour of (a) coil
ADP, (b) supply condition DBT, (c) volume flow rate and (d) total refrigeration load versus
the BPF of the coil varying between 0 and 0.7.
