Wet Bulb Temperature: Dr. Muhammad Rizwan Assistant Professor Comsats

The document provides two example problems related to simultaneous heat and mass transfer operations involving wet bulb temperature. The first example involves evaporating benzene into dry nitrogen at 297 K and 101.3 kPa, resulting in a mixture with 60% relative humidity. It asks what pressure the mixture needs to be compressed to at 283 K to recover 80% of the benzene. The second example gives the relative humidity of air at 300 K and 101.3 kPa as 25% and asks to calculate various properties including the partial pressure of water vapor, specific volumes, humidity, and percentage humidity.

PRACTICE PROBLEMS:

Example 13.1 (Coulson):

In a process in which it is used as a solvent, benzene is evaporated into dry


nitrogen. At 297 K and 101.3 KN/m2, the resulting mixture has a percentage
relative humidity of 60. it is required to recover 80% of the benzene present by
cooling to 283 K and compressing to a suitable pressure. What should this
pressure be? The vapor pressure of benzene is 12.2 KN/m 2 at 297 K and 6
KN/m2 at 283 K.

Example 13.2 (Coulson):


In a vessel at 101.3 kN/m2 and 300 K, the percentage relative humidity of the
water vapour in the air is 25. If
the partial pressure of water vapour when air is saturated with vapour at 300 K
is 3.6 kN/m2, calculate:
(a) the partial pressure of the water vapour in the vessel;
(b) the specific volumes of the air and water vapour;
(c) the humidity of the air and humid volume; and
(d) the percentage humidity.
