5. Air at a dbt of 30C and a relative humidity of 30%
is conveyed through a heated dryer where it is heated to a dbt of
80C. Then it is conveyed through a bed of granular pet food to dry
it. The air exits the dryer at a dbt of 60C. The exit air is again
heated to 80C and conveyed through another dryer containing
another
batch of pet food. The exit air from the second dryer leaves at
saturation. Clearly show the paths of air, starting from the
ambient air to the saturated air exiting the second dryer on a copy
of a psychrometric chart. Determine the amount of water removed in
the first and second dryer per kg of dry air.

3. Air at a dry bulb temperature of 40C and a wet bulb temperature of 20C is first heated in a heater to a dry bulb temperature of 90C. Then it is passed through a bed of apricot slices to dry them. The air exiting from the top of the apricot bed is at a dry bulb temperature of 60C. It is then passed through a dehumidifier to reduce its relative humidity to 10%. Clearly show the various paths of...
Air at 104°F with a relative humidity of 30% enters a heater and leaves at 77°F with a relative humidity of 20%. The volumetric flow rate leaving the system is 1,000 in3 per second. Using the psychrometric chart determine the flow rate of dry air (lb/min) through the dryer, whether water is evaporated or condensed, and the rate at which the condensation or evaporation occurs (lb/min)
Moist air at 24°C, 1 atm, and 35% relative humidity enters an evaporative cooling unit operating at steady state consisting of a heating section followed by a soaked pad evaporative cooler operating adiabatically. The air passing through the heating section is heated to 45°C. Next, the air passes through a soaked pad exiting with 50% relative humidity. Using data from the psychrometric chart, determine: (a) the humidity ratio of the entering moist air mixture, in kg(vapor) per kg(dry air). (b)...
SKMM 2423 QUESTION 4 a) Cold water flows through a metal pipe, which is not insulated The pipe is loc ated in am ambient air, which is at a higher temperature and humidity, What do you think would be observed on the surface of the pipe? Describe briefly the reason for this 5 marks) b) A sling psychrometer shows a dry bulb and wet bulb temperature readings of 25°C and 20°C, respectively. The atmospheric pressure is 101 325 kPa. Using...
Moist air at 20° c, 1 atm, and 43% relative humidity and a volumetric flow rate of 900 m/hrs. enters a control volume at steady state and flow along a surface maintained at 65 C, through which heat transfer occurs. Liquid water at 20" C is injected at a rate of 5 kg/hr and evaporates into flowing stream. For the control volume, Wa=0, and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Moist air exits at 32c, 1 atm, (a) draw...
Moist air at 20C and 50% relative humidity enters a duct consisting of a heating section followed by an evaporative cooling process. The air is heated to 35C in the heating section. The air then enters the evaporative cooling section where liquid water is injected into the moist air. The moist air exits the evaporative cooling section at 60% relative humidity. A. Determine the specific humidity at the exit of the heating section. (5 of 45 points. Please input your...
Moist air at 30°C, 1 atm, and 42% relative humidity enters an evaporative cooling unit operating at steady state consisting of a heating section followed by a soaked pad evaporative cooler operating adiabatically. The air passing through the heating section is heated to 45°C. Next, the air passes through a soaked pad exiting with 50% relative humidity. A. Determine the specific humidity of the entering moist air (to the heating section). (5 of 45 points. Please input your final answer...
