Revision Exercises

14.1 for a dry bulb temperature of 25*C and a relative humidity of 50 percent calculate the following for air, when the
barometric pressure is 740 mm Hg.
(a) Partial pressure of water vapour and dry air
(b) Dew point temperature
(c) Specific humidity
(d) Specific volume
(e) Enthalpy

14.2 A sample of moist air has a dry bulb temperature of 43*C and a wet bulb temperature of 29*C. Calculate the
following without making use of the psychrometric chart:
(a) Partial pressure of water vapour (b) Specific humidity
(b) Relative humidity (d) Dew Point Temperature
(c) humid specific heat (f) enthalpy
(d) Degree of saturation (h) Signal heat function

14.3 a sample of air has dry and wet bulb temperatures of 35*C and 25 *C respectively. The barometric pressure is 760
mm Hg Calculate:
(a) Humidity ratio, relative humidity and enthalpy of the sample
(b) humidity ration, relative humidity and enthalpy, if the air were adiabatically saturated. The use of steam table only is
permitted

14.4 Investigate the effect of humidity on the density of moist air by computing the vapour density for an air water
vapour mixture at 26*C and relative humidities of 0, 50 and 100 percent. Also, for each case, compare the values of the
degree of saturation to the values of relative humidity.
14.5 Air at a condition of 30*C dry bulb, 17*C wet bulb and a barometric pressure of 1050 m bar enters an equipment
where it undergoes a process of adiabatic saturation, the air leaving with a moisture content of 5 g/kg higher than what
it was while entering. Calculate:
(i) moisture content of air entering the equipment.
(ii) Dry bulb temperature and enthalpy of the air leaving the equipment.
14.6 (a) moist air is a t 25*C temperature. Its dew point is measured as 20*C. The barometric pressure is 755 mmHg.
What are the values of specific and relative humidities of the air?
(b) If this air is cooled to 15*C dry bulb temperature and 50% relative humidity, what will be the amount of total heat
removed per unit mass of dry air? What will be the corresponding amount of moisture removed?
14.7 (a) The temperature of air entering an adiabatic saturation is 42*C, and the leaving air temperature is 30*C.
Compute the humidity ratio and relative humidity of entering air.
(b) The conditions inside a room are 25*C and 50% degree of saturation. The inside surface temperature of the
glass window is 10*C. Will the moisture condense from room air upon the window glass?

14.8 Using tables and applying first law of thermodynamics, estimate the heat transfer rates in the following two cases:
(a) heating of 1.2 m3/s of air at 15*C and 90% RH to 50*C without the addition of moisture.
(b) Cooling of 1.5 m3/s of moist air at 30*C and 60% RH to 15*C and 80% RH. The condensate leaves at 20*C.
