Considering Air-Conditioning Applications

Air at 35°C, 1 bar, and 10% relative humidity enters an evaporative cooler operating at steady state. The volumetric flow rate of the incoming air is 50 m3/min. Liquid water at 20°C enters the cooler and fully evaporates. Moist air exits the cooler at 25°C, 1 bar. If there is no significant heat transfer between the device and its surroundings, determine

(a) the rate at which liquid enters, in kg/min.

(b) the relative humidity at the exit.

(c) the rate of exergy destruction, in kJ/min, for T0 = 20°C.

Neglect kinetic and potential energy effects.
