PROBLEM SOLVING: Write your complete solution and draw the psychrometric process indicated in each of the
problem below. (50 points)

1. Atmospheric air at a flow rate of 3 kg per second enters a cooling and dehumidifying coil with a dry bulb
temperature 36°C and wet bulb temperature of 27°C and leaves at dew point temperature 11°C and dry
bulb temperature of 22°C. Determine the mass of water vapor extracted in lb v/sec. and the required cooling
capacity of the coil in Kw and tons.
2. Moist air is heated and humidified by passing it first over a heating coil and then adding moisture. The
moist air enters the system at 40°F and 36°F wet bulb temperature at a rate of 235lb/min. and heated at
90°F and 40% RH. Determine the rate of heat addition in BTU/min and Hp by the heating coil and the rate
of moisture in kgv/sec.
