Worksheet 1

The document contains questions about thermodynamics concepts including the differences between real and ideal gases, partial pressures, compressibility factor, humidity, psychrometrics, air conditioning processes, and evaporative cooling. It asks the student to calculate various thermodynamic properties of gas mixtures, perform psychrometric analyses involving changes in temperature and humidity, and determine heat and mass transfer rates. It concludes by asking the student to design a basic evaporative cooling system for a house.
