11-35.A moist air mixture with a dry bulb temperature of 48°C, a relative humidity of 40 percent, and a total pressure of 160 kPa is contained in a rigid vessel having a volume of 1.65 m3. The air is cooled until the dry bulb temperature reaches 23°C. Determine the amount of heat transferred, the final pressure of the air, and the amount of water vapor condensed during the process.
A hot-water stream at 80°C enters a mixing chamber with a mass flow rate of 0.56 kg/s where it is mixed with a stream of cold water at 20°C. If it is desired that the mixture leave the chamber at 42°C, determine the mass flow rate of the cold-water stream. Assume all the streams are at a pressure of 250 kPa. The enthalpies are 335.02 kJ/kg, 83.915 kJ/kg, and 175.90 kJ/kg. The saturation temperature at a pressure of 250 kPa...
