 3. An air-water vapor mixture going to a drying process has a dry bulb temperature of 57.2 °C
and a humidity of 0.030 kg H2O/kg dry air. Using the humidity chart and appropriate
equations, determine the percentage humidity, saturation humidity at 57.2 °C, dew point,
humid heat, and humid volume.

4. The humidity of an air-water vapor mixture is H = 0.030 kg H2O/kg dry air. The dry bulb
temperature of the mixture is 60 °C. What is the wet bulb temperature?

5. The partial pressure of CO2 in air is 1.333×104 Pa and the total pressure is 1.133×105 Pa. The
gas phase is in equilibrium with a water solution at 303 K. What is the value of x A of CO2 in
equilibrium in the solution?

 6. At 303 K the concentration of CO2 in water is 0.90×10-4 kg CO2/kg water. Using the Henry’s
law constant from Appendix A.3 (Geankoplis), what partial pressure of CO 2 must be kept in
the gas to keep the CO2 from vaporizing from the aqueous solution?
