Airconditioning 002

Psychrometry is the study of air-water vapor mixtures. The psychrometric chart graphically represents the thermodynamic properties of moist air. It can be used to determine properties like temperature, humidity ratio, and enthalpy at given conditions. When two air streams at different conditions are mixed, the final condition lies at a point between the two original conditions on the psychrometric chart. Heat transfer processes involving moist air, like cooling or heating, can be analyzed using the psychrometric processes of sensible heating/cooling and latent heat addition/removal.

PSYCRHOMETRY
ADIABATIC MOIST AIR MIXING
PSYCHROMETRIC PROCESSES
PSYCHROMETRY
 Is the study of the properties of mixtures of air and
water vapor

Psychrometric properties
 Are the properties of moist air

Psychrometric chart
 Graphical representation of the thermodynamic
properties of moist air
•EXAMPLE:
 
A certain air has a dry bulb temperature of
34 and a wet bulb temperature of 25.
Locate the condition in the psychrometric chart
and find:
a.),%
b.)DPT,
c.)w,
d.)v,
e.)h,
•Answer:
 
Note: for barometric /total pressure of
101.325kpa
a.)48%
b.)21.5
c.)w=0.0163
d.)v=0.89
e.)h=76
MIXING AIR
 When air at one condition is mixed with air to
another condition, the condition of the final
mixture can be shown on the psychrometric
chart by a point on the line joining the points
indicating the original conditions. The exact
location of the final point will depend upon
the masses of the original air quantities..
•EXAMPLE:
 
A stream of outdoor air is mixed with a stream of
return air in an air-conditioning system that operates
at 101.325kpa pressure..
The flow rate of outdoor air is 2kg/sec and its
condition is 35dry bulb temperature and 25wet bulb
temperature ..The flow rate of return air is 3kg/sec
and its condition is 24 and 50% relative humidity..
Determine:
a.)the enthalpy of the mixture(HM)
b.)the humidity ratio of the mixture(W)
c.)the dry bulb temperature of the mixture(DBTM)
•EXAMPLE:
 
Determine the quantity of heat required to
raise 14 of air at 20 and 50% relative humidity
to 35.

Given:
V1=14
DBT1=20
RH=80%
DBT2=35
•Solution:
  FROM PSYCHROMETRIC CHART
At DBT1=20 H1=49.5 V1=14
RH=80% w1=0.0117
v1=0.847
At DBT2=35
H2=65.8
Solving for mass of air:( MA)
MA===0.2755
Q=MA(H2-H1)=()(65.8-49.5)=(+)4.5kw
•EXAMPLE:
 
Determine the quantity of heat removed
from 14 of air when cooled from 37
And 21 WBT to 15..

Given:
V1=14 , DBT1=37 ,WBT=21
DBT2=15
•Solution:
  FROM PSYCHROMETRIC CHART
At DBT1=37 and WBT1=21,V1=14
H1=61 ,v1=0.89,w1=0.0091
At DBT2=15, w1=w2=0.0091
H2=38
Finding the mass of air(MA):
MA===0.262
Q=MA (H2-H1)=(0.262)(38-61)= (-)6.03kw
• Sensible Heating(QS)
the effects of this form of heat is indicated by
sense of touch or feeling..It can be measure by
means of thermometer..

QS=MACP(T2-T1)
Where:
CP=1.0062
T2=temperature at final state
T1=temperature at initial state
•Latent
  Heat (QL)
This form of heat is that quantity of heat which
becomes concealed or hidden inside a body while
producing some change in the body other than an
increase in temperature

QL=MAHV(W2-W1)
Where:
HV=2442(average)
W2=humidity ratio of final state
W1=humidity ratio of initial state
•Total
  Heat Load (QT):
QT=QS+QL
Sensible Heat Factor (SHF):
SHF===
Example:
Find the sensible heat factor of an
airconditioning unit having a sensible heat load
of 60kw and latent heat load of 20kw?
SHF===0.75
