Table 3-3 Psychrometric Properties

This document contains instructions for homework problems involving psychrometric analysis and calculations related to air properties: 1. Complete a psychrometric chart table with data for air at sea level and 5000 ft elevation, and compare the two conditions. 2. Determine the sensible heat factor (SHF) and dew point for an air cooling process, and calculate the total and sensible heat transfer rates. 3. Calculate the steam quality required to provide saturated air or air at 70% relative humidity during an air humidification process using steam.

3.15 Air enters a cooling coil at the rate of 5000 cfm (2.4 m3/s) at
80 F (24 C) db, 68 F (20 C) wb and sea-level pressure. The air
leaves the coil at 55 F (13 C) db, 54 F (12 C) wb. (a) Determine
the SHF and the apparatus dew point. (b) Compute the total and
sensible heat transfer rates from the air.

3.22 Air is humidified with the dry bulb temperature remaining


constant. Wet steam is supplied for humidification at 20 psia (138
kPa). If the air is at 80 F (32 C) db, 60 F (16 C) wb, and sea-level
pressure, what quality must the steam have (a) to provide saturated
air and (b) to provide air at 70 percent relative humidity?

3.24 Two thousand cfm (1.0 m3/s) of air at an initial state of 60 F


(16 C) db and relative humidity of 30 percent is to be heated and
humidified to a final state of 110 F (43 C) db and 30 percent
relative humidity. Assume sea-level pressure throughout. The air
will first be heated followed by adiabatic humidification using
saturated vapor at 5 psia (34.5 kPa). Using the psychrometric chart,
find the heat transfer rate for the heating coil and the mass flow
rate of the water vapor and sketch the processes on a skeleton chart
showing pertinent data. Use (a) English units and (b) SI units.

3.25 Air at 40 F (5 C) db and 35 F (2 C) wb is mixed with warm


air at 100 F (38 C) db and 77 F (25 C) wb in the ratio of 2000 cfm
cool air to 1000 cfm warm air. Find the resulting humidity ratio
and enthalpy using psychrometric Chart 1a on the basis of volume
flow rates.
