Psychrometry Exercises With Solutions

The document provides 4 examples of psychrometry exercises with solutions. Each example gives the dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature (or relative humidity) and pressure of a air sample. It then shows the calculations to determine the relative humidity, specific humidity, wet bulb temperature or dew point temperature based on psychrometric equations.

Psychrometry exercises with solutions

1. A wet bulb temperature of 23°C and a dry bulb temperature of 27°C are measured at a certain location.
Calculate the relative humidity and the specific humidity.

Solution:

Relative humidity = (100 x (Twb / Tdb)) = (100 x (23 / 27)) = 85%

Specific humidity = (0.62198 x (Pw / (P - Pw))) = (0.62198 x (6.11 x (10^((7.5 x 23) / (237.7 + 23)) / 101325)) = 0.0157
kg/kg.

2. A sample of air at a pressure of 1013.25 hPa has a dry bulb temperature of 25°C and a wet bulb temperature
of 20°C. Determine the specific humidity and the relative humidity.

Solution:

Relative humidity = (100 x (Twb / Tdb)) = (100 x (20 / 25)) = 80%.

Specific humidity = (0.62198 x (Pw / (P - Pw))) = (0.62198 x (6.11 x (10^((7.5 x 20) / (237.7 + 20)) / 101325)) = 0.0134
kg/kg.

3. A sample of air at a pressure of 1013 hPa has a dry bulb temperature of 30°C and a specific humidity of 0.012
kg/kg. Calculate the wet bulb temperature and relative humidity.

Solution:

Wet bulb temperature = ((2501 - 2.38 x 0.012 x (1 + 0.62198 x 0.012)) / (1.05 x (1 - 0.62198 x 0.012))) + 273.15 =
26.5°C.

Relative humidity = (100 x (Twb / Tdb)) = (100 x (26.5 / 30)) = 88.33%.

4. A sample of air at a pressure of 1013 hPa has a relative humidity of 60% and a dry bulb temperature of 15°C.
Calculate the wet bulb temperature, specific humidity and dew point temperature.

Solution:

Wet bulb temperature = (15 x 0.6) = 9°C

Specific humidity = (0.62198 x (Pw / (P - Pw))) = (0.62198 x (6.11 x (10^((7.5 x 9) / (237.7 + 9)) / 1013)) = 0.0069
kg/kg.

Dew point temperature = (243.5 * log10((6.11 * 0.0069) / (0.0069 - 0.62198))) / (7.5 - log10((6.11 * 0.0069) / (0.0069
- 0.62198))) + 273.15 = 8.5°C.
