65°F dry bulb. Find with the help of the psychrometric chart:
A) The final dew temperature
B) The final wet bulb temperature
C) Total final heat per pound
D) Final sensible heat per pound
E) Total heat removed
F) Sensible heat removed
G) Latent heat removed
Humidity Final
I) Final specific humidity
Point A
1. Dry bulb temperature: 80°F
2. Wet bulb temperature: 66.8°F
Dew point: 60°F
50%
5. Enthalpy: 31.5 BTU/ Lb of dry air
Specific volume: 13.8 ft 3
7. Specific humidity = 0.011 lb H2O / lb dry air
Point B
Dry bulb temperature: 65°F
2. Wet bulb temperature: 61.8°F
60°F
84%
5. Enthalpy: 27.8 BTU/Lb of dry air
13.4 ft 3
7. Specific humidity = 0.011 Lb H2O / Lb dry air
Answers
1. The final dew point temperature.
R-60°F
2. The final wet bulb temperature
R-61.8°F
3. Total final heat per pound
R-27.8 BTU/ Lb of dry air
4. Final sensible heat per pound
Cp Δt = Δ Qs
Where:
Cp= 0.24 BTU/ lb °F
Δ Qs = Qs final
Δt = Dry bulb temperature
QS f= (0.24 BTU/ lb °F) (65°F)
Qs final= 15.6 BTU/lb
5. Total heat removed
Qt = Ha - Hb
Where:
Ha = Enthalpy of point A
Enthalpy at point B
Qt = Total heat
Qt = (31.5 BTU/ Lb of dry air) - (27.8 BTU/ Lb of dry air)
Qt=3.7 BTU/ lb of dry air
6. Sensible heat removed
Cs = (Cp.) * (TbsB - TbsA)
Where:
Specific heat (0.24 BTU/lb °F)
Dry bulb temperature at point A
Dry bulb temperature at point B
Qs = Sensible heat
Qs= (0.24 BTU/ lb °F)*(65°F-80°F) -3.6 BTU/lb
7. Latent heat removed
Ql = Qt - Qs
Where:
Qt = Total heat removed
Qs = Sensible heat
Latent heat
Ql = (3.7 BTU/ Lb of dry air) - (3.6 BTU/ lb)
Ql = 0.1 BTU/lb
Final relative humidity
R- 84%
Final specific humidity
R- 0.011 lb H2O/ lb dry air
