Q1. If DBT = 30°C and WBT = 20°C, find the following properties using psychrometric chart
(a) Dew point temperature, DPT, (td)
(b) Specific humidity, w
(c) Relative Humidity, RH or φ
(d) Enthalpy of moist air, h and Specific Volume, ν

Q2. Atmospheric air at 1.01325 bar has dry bulb temperature of 35°C and wet bulb temperature
of 25°C. Calculate (using Steam Tables):
(i) Partial pressure of water vapour
(ii) Specific humidity
(iii) Dew point temperature
(iv) Relative humidity
(v) Degree of saturation
(vi) Density of dry air
(vii) Density of water vapour
(viii) Enthalpy of moist air

Q3. Atmospheric air at 1.01325 bar, dry bulb temperature 15°C and wet bulb temperature 11°C
enters a heating coil whose temperature is 41°C. Assuming by-pass factor of heating coil as 0.5,
determine:
(i) Dry bulb temperature of air leaving the coil.
(ii) Wet bulb temperature of air leaving the coil
(iii) Relative humidity of the air leaving the coil
(iv) Sensible heat added per kg of dry air.

Q4. Atmospheric air with dry bulb temperature of 28°C and a wet bulb temperature of 17°C is
cooled to 15°C without change in its moisture content. Calculate:
(i) Original relative humidity, φ1
(ii) Final relative humidity, φ2
(iii) Sensible heat removed per kg of dry air

Q5. Atmospheric air at a dry bulb temperature of 16°C and 25% relative humidity passes through
a furnace and then through a humidifier, in such a way that the final dry bulb temperature is
30°C and 50% relative humidity. Determine:
(i) Heat added to air
 (ii) Moisture added to air
(iii) Sensible heat factor

Q6. Air at 30°C dry bulb temperature and 60% relative humidity is passed through a cooling coil
at the rate of 250m3/min. The air leaves the cooling coil at 14°C dry bulb temperature. If the by-
pass factor of the cooling coil is 0.1, find
(i) ADP
(ii) Relative humidity of the air leaving the cooling coil
(iii) Capacity of the cooling coil in kW
(iv) Sensible heat factor
