PART – C (14+14+7=35 Marks)

11 (a) The readings from a sling psychrometer are as follows dry bulb 14
temperature = 30°C Barometer reading 740mm of Hg Using
steam tables, determine (i). Dew point temperature (ii). Relative
humidity (iii) Specific humidity (iv) Degree of-saturation
(v) Vapour density (vi). Enthalpy of mixture per kg of dry air.
(or)
(b) Describe briefly with a neat sketch a window types of 14
airconditionger
12 (a) Explain the need for selecting design inside and outside conditions 14
with respect to a typical air conditioning system
(or)
(b) A 1.8 meter tall human being with a body mass of 60 kg performs 14
light work (activity = 1.2 met) in an indoor environment. The
indoor conditions are: DBT of 30oC, mean radiant temperature of
32oC, air velocity of 0.2 m/s. Assuming an average surface
temperature of 34oC for the surface of the human being and light
clothing, find the amount of evaporative heat transfer required so
that the human being is at neutral equilibrium.
