INSTRUCTION: Solve the following problems, correctly and systematically, and show all the necessary figures.
Prob. # 2] a) Air at a condition of 30 oC DB, 17 oC WB and a barometric pressure of 1050 mbar (1.05 bar)
enters a piece of equipment where it undergoes a process of adiabatic saturation, the air leaving with a
moisture content of 5 g/kg d.a. higher than entering. Calculate the following: i. The moisture content of
the air entering the equipment; and ii. the DB temperature and enthalpy of the air leaving the equipment.
Prob. # 4] Outdoor air is 24 oC DB and 15 oC WB passes through an air washer in which water is
recirculated. The air washer has a humidifying efficiency of 70 %. It is then heated by a heating coil with
a coil surface temperature of 27 oC and a by-pass factor of 0.30. For 50 m3/min of outside air supplied,
determine: a) the capacity of the humidifier in TR; and b) the capacity of the heating coil in kW.
Prob # 5] A space to be air conditioned has a sensible heat load of 36 kW and a latent heat load of 10.2 kW. The
space is to be maintained at 26 C DB and 50 % RH. Outside air is at 32 C DB and 24 C WB temperatures. With a
reheater to satisfy the space conditions, the conditioned air will enter the space at 19 C. If 45 % of the supply air is
fresh air, and the rest is recirculated, find:
a. the volume flow rate of fresh air at supply conditions;
b. the apparatus dew point temperatrure;
c. the refrigeration load in TR; and
d. the reheater capacity.
