Dew is water that condenses out of cooling air on grass overnight. Once dew starts forming, the air temperature remains constant. Why?
| b. |
The cooling process stops. |
|
| c. |
Condensation absorbs heat, which offsets cooling. |
|
| d. |
Condensation releases heat, which offsets cooling. |

Atmospheric air at 32°C and 70% relative humidity passes through a cooling section in an air-conditioning duct where the air is cooled below its dew point and some of the water is removed. The air then passes over a heating section where heat is added until the final temperature is 22°C and the relative humidity is 45%. Assume the process occurs at constant pressure of 1 atm. Using the psychrometric chart, determine: (a) The amount of water removed in the...

a. Calculate the dry air and water vapor mass flow rates (lb/min) if the volume flow rate is 1,000 cfm, the humidity ratio is 0.025 lbv/lba, and the dry air density is 0.072 Iba/ft3. b. Assume the above air enters an evaporator coil at 90°F where it is cooled in a constant humidity ratio process until reaching the 100 % RH curve ( the temperature at that point is the dew point. The air then keeps dropping in temperature, following...

1. (relative humidity) The partial pressure of water vapor in air is usually less than the equilibrium vapor pressure (or saturation pressure) at the ambient temperature; this is why a cup of water will spontaneously evaporate. The ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor to the equilibrium vapor pressure (at the same temperature) is called the relative humidity. Saturated air, at 100% relative humidity, would be in equilibrium with a cup of liquid water. The saturation pressure depends strongly...

Dr. Clark designed a system capable of cooling the air of a house using water in river. The main component is stainless steel pipe (k=15.1 W/mK, Di=0.15m Do=0.152m) submerged in a river with a water temperature T_fluid=17 C. The warm air from the house enters this cooling pipe at a volume flow rate 0.025 m3/s, and T_m,i=27 C. The exit temperature is expected to be T_m,o=20 C. The convection heat transfer coefficient between the pipe external surface and water is...

When the air temperature is high the human body uses sweating followed by evaporative cooling to control its temperature. This works only if the surrounding air is not already saturated with water, i.e., for relative humidities significantly below 100%. As it turns out, a 70.% relative humidity on a 90.ºF summer day in Florida will already feel very uncomfortable in the absence of a breeze. (a) Calculate the saturation (equilibrium) vapor pressure of water at 90.ºF and the actual vapor...
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air at a given time
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air at a given time. At warm temperatures, air can hold more moisture than it can at cold temperatures. Relative humidity is the amount of vapor the air is holding expressed as a percentage of the amount the air is capable of holding. For example, at 86 degrees Fahrenheit, air can hold a maximum of 30.4 grams of water per cubic meter. If the air at the same temperature is holding...

(10 pts) Six-thousand cubic feet per minutes (C.F.M.) of atmospheric air at 28°C (dry bulb) having a wet bulb temperature of 23°C is to be cooled in an air conditioning system. The air conditioning system lowers the dry bulb temperature of the air to 20° C. Cooling with dehumidification is accomplished using chilled water loop. The chilled water enters the loop at 5°C at a rate of 280 kg/min and experience a 5°C temperature increase. The atmospheric pressure is 1...
