Activity No. 2 (Air Conditioning Processes) : Solve The Following Problems
2. The discharge moist air from a clothes dryer is at 35◦C, 80% relative humidity. The flow
is guided through a pipe up through the roof and a vent to the atmosphere shown below.
Due to heat transfer in the pipe, the flow is cooled to 24◦C by the time it reaches the vent.
Find the humidity ratio in the flow out of the clothes dryer and at the vent. Find the heat
transfer and any amount of liquid that may be forming per kilogram of dry air for the flow.
3. An insulated tank has an air inlet, ω1 = 0.0084, and an outlet, T2 = 22◦C, RH2 = 90%, both
at 100 kPa. A third line sprays 0.25 kg/s of water at 80◦C and 100 kPa, as shown below.
For steady operation, find the outlet specific humidity, the mass flow rate of air needed,
and the required air inlet temperature, T1.
4. A flow of moist air from a domestic furnace, state 1, is at 45◦C, 10% relative humidity with
a flow rate of 0.05 kg/s dry air. A small electric heater adds steam at 100◦C, 100 kPa,
generated from tap water at 15◦C shown below. Up in the living room, the flow comes out
at state 4: 30◦C, 60% relative humidity. Find the power needed for the electric heater and
the heat transfer to the flow from state 1 to state 4.
