4. Moist air enters a chamber at 60°F dry-bulb and 46 °F wet-bulb temperature at a rate of 5000 cfm. In passing through the chamber, the air absorbs sensible heat at a rate of 20,000 Btu/h and picks up 63 lb/h of saturated steam at 200°F. Determine: (a) The dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures of the leaving air. (b) The sensible heat factor (25)

Wet leather enters a continuous drier at 45% moisture (wet) and leaves at a rate of 200 lbs/h with a moisture content of 25% moisture (dry). Air at 140°F and 10% RH enters the drier, and leaves the drier at 120°F and 40% RH. Assume atmospheric pressure on both inlet and outlet. Vapor pressures of water at 120°F and 140°C are 87.55 mm Hg and 149.44 mm Hg, respectively. a.) Calculate the rate (lbs/h) at which water is removed from...

Air in a factory for drying apricots had dry bulb temperature of (Tdry) 25oC and wet bulb temperature of (T wet) 15oC. What are the RH, dew point, Humidity ratio, specific volume and vapour pressure values. Second we are drying 10 Kg apricots of 85% moisture in batch production ending up with 60 % moisture content using a fan that blows hot air. We measured the air characteristics and found that Tdry = 35 oC and Twet=28 oC. The fan...

Moist air is at 80F (26.67C) dry-bulb, 0.0150 lb-w/lb-da (0.0150 kg-w/kg-da) humidity ratio, pressure of 14.696 psia (101.35 kPa). Determine the dew-point temperature, relative humidity, volume in cu ft/lb-da (cu meters/kg-da), and enthalpy in Btu/lb-da (kJ/kg-da) using the moist air property tables and the ideal gas equations. What error is incurred using the ideal gas approach? Compare these results with the psychrometric charts (available in ASHRAE Fundamentals)
