C. ASSIGNMENT

1. Andy and Wendy both wear glasses. On a cold winter day, Andy comes
from the cold outside and enters the warm house while Wendy leaves the
house and goes outside. Whose glasses are more likely to be fogged?
Explain and give another example for this kind of situation.

2. In summer, the outer surface of a glass filled with iced water frequently
“sweats.” How can you explain this sweating?

3. In some climates, cleaning the ice off the windshield of a car is a common
chore on winter mornings. Explain how ice forms on the windshield during
some nights even when there is no rain or snow.

WEEK 2

A. DIRECTION: Solve what is ask. Enclose your final answer.

1. A 5-m X 5-m X 3-m room contains air at 25°C and 100 kPa at a relative humidity
of 75 percent. Find the masses of the dry air and water vapor in the room.

2. A room contains air at 70°F and 14.6 psia at a relative humidity of 85 percent.
Determine (a) the partial pressure of dry air, (b) the specific humidity, and (c) the
enthalpy per unit mass of dry air.

3. Consider a room that contains air at 1 atm, 35°C, and 40 percent relative humidity.
Using the psychrometric chart, determine (a) the specific humidity, (b) the enthalpy,
(c) the wet-bulb temperature, (d) the dew-point temperature, and (e) the specific
volume of the air.

4. When are the dry-bulb and dew-point temperatures identical? Determine the
masses of dry air and the water vapor contained in a 240-m3 room at 98 kPa, 23°C,
and 50 percent relative humidity.

5. The air in a room has a dry-bulb temperature of 22°C and a wet-bulb temperature
of 16°C. Assuming a pressure of 100 kPa, determine (a) the specific humidity, (b)
the relative humidity, and (c) the dew-point temperature.

6. Derive Specific Humidity or Humidity Ratio equation

B. ASSIGNMENT

1. The air in a room has a dry-bulb temperature of 80°F and a wet-bulb temperature
of 65°F. Assuming a pressure of 14.7 psia, determine (a) the specific humidity, (b)
the relative humidity, and (c) the dew-point temperature.

2. Atmospheric air at 35°C flows steadily into an adiabatic saturation device and
leaves as a saturated mixture at 25°C. Makeup water is supplied to the device at
25°C. Atmospheric pressure is 98 kPa. Determine the relative humidity and specific
humidity of the air.

3. Calculate the specific volume of an air-vapor mixture in cubic meters per kilogram
of dry air when the following conditions prevail: t = 31°C, W = 0.017 kg/kg, and Pt =
95 kPa.

4. A sample of air has a dry-bulb temperature of 32°C and a wet-bulb temperature

of 27°C. The barometric pressure is 101 kPa. Calculate (a) the humidity ration if this
air is adiabatically saturated, (b) the enthalpy of air if it is adiabatically saturated, (c)
the humidity ratio of the sample, (d) the partial pressure of water vapor in the sample,
and (e) the relative humidity.

5. An air-vapor mixture has a dry-bulb temperature pf 32°C and a humidity ratio of

0.015. Calculate at two different barometric pressures, 85 and 101 kPa, (a) the
enthalpy and (b) the dew-point temperature.
