Tutorial 1 - Humidification

This document contains 8 problems related to humidification and psychrometric operations. The problems involve calculating various properties like absolute humidity, relative humidity, dew point temperature, and enthalpy for gas mixtures under different temperature and pressure conditions. Properties are determined using psychrometric charts and equations relating vapor pressure, temperature and humidity.

TUTORIAL 1
HUMIDIFICATION OPERATIONS
1. A gas (B) benzene (A) mixture is saturated at 1 bar and 320 K. Calculate
the absolute humidity if B is
a) Nitrogen
b) Carbon dioxide
2. At a certain location in a dryer where benzene is being evaporated from a
solid, nitrogen gas at 50 oF and 1.2 atm has a relative humidity for benzene
of 35%. Determine:
a) Partial pressure of benzene if the vapor pressure of benzene at
50oF is 45.6 torr.
b) Humidity of the nitrogen-benzene mixture.
c) Saturation humidity of the mixture.
d) Percentage humidity of the mixture.
3. Air at 160oF has a wet bulb temperature of 102oF. The vapor pressure of
water is 4.745 lbf/in2 at 160oF. Determine the relative humidity, dew point
temperature and percentage humidity.
4. For atmospheric air at 30oC and wet bulb temperature of 20oC, determine
by using psychrometric chart:
a) the percentage relative humidity
b) the specific (absolute) humidity
c) the dew point temperature
d) the specific volume of dry air
5. Consider a room that contains air at 1 atm (101.325 kPa), 35 oC and 40%
relative humidity. Using the psychrometric chart, determine:
a) the specific (absolute) humidity
b) the enthalpy
c) the wet bulb temperature
d) the dew point temperature
e) the specific volume of dry air.
6. Air entering a dryer has a temperature (dry bulb temperature) of 58 oC and
a dew point of 28.7oC. Determine:
a) the humidity
b) the percentage relative humidity

c) the humid heat


d) the humid volume
7. In an air-conditioning system, 1 kg/s air at 350 K and 10 percent humidity
is mixed with 5 kg/s air at 300 K and 30 percent humidity. Determine the
enthalpy, humidity and temperature of the resultant stream.
8. 0.15 kg/s steam at atmospheric pressure and superheated to 400 K is bled
into an air stream at 320 K and 20 percent relative humidity. Determine
the temperature, enthalpy and relative humidity of the mixed stream if the
air is flowing at 5 kg/s.
