Unit 4.5 Psychrometry Example No.3

The document provides an example psychrometric problem involving measurements from a sling psychrometer. It gives the dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, and barometric pressure. It then shows the step-by-step calculations to determine: 1) dew point temperature, 2) relative humidity, 3) specific humidity, 4) degree of saturation, 5) vapour density, and 6) enthalpy of the air mixture using psychrometric charts and equations. The key steps and results are shown for each calculation.

Example No.3
The readings from Sling Psychrometre are as follows:
• DBT =30 deg C
• WBT =20 deg C
• Barometer reading =740 mm of Hg

Using steam stable, Determine:


1. DPT
2. RH
3. Specific Humidity
4. Degree of saturation
5. Vapour Density
6. Enthalpy of mixture per kg of dry air
Solution
• Given :
• DBT =30 deg C
• WBT =20 deg C
• Barometer reading =740 mm of Hg
We know 1 mm of Hg =133.3 N/m2
so 740 x 133.3 = 98,642 N/m2
= 0.98642 bar (since 1 bar = 105 N/m2)
1. Dew Point Temperature :
To get DPT, we need to find out the partial
pressure of water vapour Pv using Carrier’s
equation
 
For using Carrier’s equation , we need Pvs,Pt.
Pvs WBT= Saturation Pressure corresponding to
WBT (from Steam table) at 20 deg C
Pvs = 0.02339 bar
Pt= Total pressure (barometric pressure)
= 0.98642 bar
 
so using Carrier’s equation

Pv = Pvs WBT – [(Pt-PvsWBT)(DBT-WBT) /( 1544- 1.44WBT) ]

Pv = 0.02339 – (0.98642-0.02339)(30-20) /( 1544- 1.44 x 20)]


so using Carrier’s equation

Pv = Pvs WBT – [(Pt-PvsWBT)(DBT-WBT) /( 1544- 1.44WBT) ]

Pv = 0.02339 – (0.98642-0.02339)(30-20) /( 1544- 1.44 x 20)]

Pv =0.01701 bar
• Since the DPt is the saturation temperature
corresponding to partial pressure of water
vapour Pv ,
• so from steam table , we find that
corresponding to a 0.01701 bar ,
• the PDT is 15 Deg C
2. Relative Humidity :
• From steam table, we find that the saturation
pressure of water vapor corresponding to DBT
• 30 Deg C is 0.04242 bar (Pvs )
• so RH = Pv/Pvs
2. Relative Humidity :
• From steam table, we find that the saturation
pressure of water vapor corresponding to DBT
• 30 Deg C is 0.04242 bar (Pvs )
so
RH = Pv/Pvs
= 0.01701 / 0.04242
= 0.40 = 40 %
3.Specific Humidity :
w = 0.622Pv / (Pt- Pvs)
3.Specific Humidity :
w = 0.622Pv / (Pt- Pvs)
= 0.622 x 0.01701 / ( 0.98642 – 0.04242)
= 0.011247 Kg /kg of dry air
= 11. 247 gm / kg of dry air
4.Degree of saturation µ = w/ws
• Specific humidity of saturated air =
Ws = 0.622 Pvs / (Pt- Pvs)
4.Degree of saturation µ
• Specific humidity of saturated air = ws
= 0.622 Pvs / (Pt- Pvs)
= 0.622 0.04242 / ( 0.98642 – 0.04242)
= 0.027945 Kg /kg of dry air
= 27.9 gm / kg of dry air
4.Degree of saturation
• Specific humidity of saturated air = ws
= 0.622 Pvs / (Pt- Pvs)
= 0.622 0.04242 / ( 0.98642 – 0.04242)
= 0.027945 Kg /kg of dry air
= 27.9 gm / kg of dry air

• so Degree of saturation
= w /ws
= 0.011247 /0.027945
= 0.391 or 39.1 %
5. Enthalpy of mixture per kg if dry air
h = 1.005DBT + w(2500-1.88DBT) (empirical
relation)
= 1.005 x 30 + 0.011247 x (2500-1.88 x30)
= 57.63 kJ/Kg of dry air
Enthalpy of Moist air (from steam table) :

1.Enthalpy of mixture = Enthalpy of dry air +


enthalpy of vapour associated with dry air

= 1.022 DBT + w (hfgDPT +2.3 DPT) kJ/kg


Where hfgDPT = Latent heat of vaporization of water corresponding to DPT
(from steam table)
Enthalpy of Moist air (from steam table) :

1.Enthalpy of mixture = Enthalpy of dry air +


enthalpy of vapour associated with dry air

= 1.022 DBT + w (hfgDPT +2.3 DPT) kJ/kg


Where hfgDPT = Latent heat of vaporization of water corresponding to DPT
(from steam table) = 15deg C

• hfgDPT = 2465.4 kJ/Kg


• h =58.77 KJ/kg
