TUTORIAL

TO BE SUBMITTED AS ASSIGNMENT QUESTION 1, 2, 3 and 4

1. Atmosphere air enters a heater at 450C and 60% relative humidity and leaves at a
temperature of 210C. Calculate
(i) The heat supplied to the air.
(ii) The final relative humidity.

2. 100m3 of air per minute at 350C DBT and 60% relative humidity is cooled to 200C DBT by
passing through a cooling coil. Find the following:
(i) Capacity of cooling coil inkJ/h,
(ii) Amount of water vapour removed per hour, and
(iii) Relative humidity of air coming out ans its wet-bulb temperature.

3. Atmosphere air at 380 and 40 per cent relative humidity is to be cooled and dehumidified to
a state of saturated air at 100C. The mass rate of flow of atmospheric air entering the
dehumidifier is 45.4kg/h. Neglecting any any pressure drop, determine
(i) The mass of water removed
(ii) The quantity of heat removed.

4. 1 kg of air at 240C and a relative humidity of70% is to be mixed adiabatically in a steady


state, steady flow device with 1 kg of air at 160C and a relative humidity of 10%. Assuming
that the mixture is to be carried out at a constant pressure of 1.01325bar, determine the
temperature and relative humidity of the stream leaving the device.

point.
