Psychrometric chart exercises

Exercise 1:

A room contains 500 kg of air at a temperature of 25°C and a relative humidity of 70%. What is the dew point
temperature of the air?

Solution:

Using a psychrometric chart, we find that the dew point temperature of the air is approximately 19°C.

Exercise 2:

A mixture of moist air at a pressure of 100 kPa and a dry bulb temperature of 30°C has a specific enthalpy of 89
kJ/kg. Determine the relative humidity of the mixture.

Solution:

Using a psychrometric chart or a calculator, we find that the relative humidity of the mixture is approximately 45%.

Exercise 3:

A room contains 10 kg of dry air at a pressure of 100 kPa and a temperature of 20°C. Water vapor is added to the
room until the relative humidity reaches 60%. Determine the mass of water vapor added.

Solution:

Using a psychrometric chart or a calculator, we find that the mass of water vapor added to the room is
approximately 0.007 kg.

Exercise 4:

A mixture of moist air at a pressure of 101.3 kPa and a dry bulb temperature of 27°C has a specific volume of 0.863
m^3/kg. Determine the relative humidity of the mixture.

Solution:

Using a psychrometric chart or a calculator, we find that the relative humidity of the mixture is approximately 63%.

Exercise 5:

A room contains 500 kg of air at a temperature of 20°C and a relative humidity of 50%. The room is cooled until the
relative humidity reaches 30%. Determine the final temperature of the air.

Solution:

Using a psychrometric chart or a calculator, we find that the final temperature of the air is approximately 16°C.
