14-71 Air at 1 atm, 15°C, and 60 percent relative humidity is first heated to 20°C in a heating section and then humidified
by introducing water vapor. The air leaves the humidifying section at 25°C and 65 percent relative humidity.

Determine (a) the amount of steam added to the air, and (b) the amount of heat transfer to the air in the heating section. Answers:
(a) 0.0065 kg H2O/kg dry air, (b) 5.1 kJ/kg dry air

Datos

T 1 = 15 [°C]

f 1 = 0,6

T 2 = 20 [°C]

T 3 = 25 [°C]

f 3 = 0,65

c p = Cp Air ; T = T 1

P 1 = 101,325 [kPa]

Análisis de cada punto

Punto1

P g;1 = P sat Steam ; T = T 1

P v;1 = f 1 · P g;1

0,622 · P v;1
w1 =
P 1 – P v;1

h g;1 = h Steam ; T = T 1 ; x = 1

h 1 = c p · T 1 + w 1 · h g;1

Punto2

P2 = P1

w2 = w1

h g;2 = h Steam ; T = T 2 ; x = 1

h 2 = c p · T 2 + w 2 · h g;2

Punto3

P3 = P1

P g;3 = P sat Steam ; T = T 3

P v;3 = f 3 · P g;3

0,622 · P v;3
w3 =
P 3 – P v;3

h g;3 = h Steam ; T = T 3 ; x = 1

h 3 = c p · T 3 + w 3 · h g;3

(a)

Dw = w3 – w2

(b)

q in = h2 – h1

SOLUTION
