Tutorial - Air Conditioning (Chapter 7 - Mec551) : APRIL 2009

This document contains 4 problems related to air conditioning systems. The first problem involves mixing two airstreams and calculating the specific humidity, relative humidity, enthalpy, and exit temperature of the mixed airstream. The second problem asks the reader to sketch a system diagram and calculate the heat added, relative humidity, and water addition rate for a system with heating and humidifying sections. The third problem involves humidifying air and calculating the steam flow rate and final air temperature. The fourth problem involves mixing return and fresh air and calculating the fresh air flow rate, return air flow rate, and fresh air temperature.

TUTORIAL AIR CONDITIONING (CHAPTER 7 MEC551)

1)

Airstream at 25C, 35% relative humidity at rate 25 m 3/min is mixed with another
airstream at 15C, 90% relative humidity at rate 30 m3/min. Assuming that the
mixing process occurs steadily and adiabatically at a pressure of 120 Kpa,
determine;
i) the specific humidity, 3,
ii) the relative humidity, 3
iii) the enthalpy h3 and
iv) the exit temperature, T3.

Mr. Tony Adam would like to design an air conditioning system that contains a
humidifying section after a heating section. He has listed the following
requirements for the system:
i) The total pressure of the system is 110KPa.
ii) Saturated steam vapor at 100C is supplied through the humidifier.
The temperature at the humidifying section is 30C and 70% relative humidity.
The air enters the heating section at 15C, 80% relative humidity and at rate 0.7
m3/s. The temperature after the heating section should be 25C. Could you help
Mr. Adam to sketch the system diagram and determine:
a) the amount of heat that is added through the heater in (KJ/s),
b) the relative humidity after the heating section, and

c) the rate of water is added to the air in the humidifying section.

Atmospheric air at 10C and 40 percent relative humidity flows at a rate of 20 m3/min. It
is first humidified by the injection of steam to 20C and 80 percent relative humidity. The
air is then passed through a 3.15 kW heating coil. Assuming the entire processes take
place at 100 kPa, determine:
i) the mass flow rate of steam required at the humidifying section, and
ii) the final temperature of the air.

A stream of return air at 40C and 30 percent relative humidity is mixed adiabatically
with a stream of fresh air intake. The mass flow rates of the two streams are the same. A
single air stream exits at 30C and 40 percent relative humidity with a volume flow rate
of 60 m3/min. If the mixing process occurs at 1 atm, determine:
a) the mass flow rate of the fresh air (kg/s),
b) the volume flow rate of the return air (m3/min), and
c) the temperature of the fresh air (C).
