Moist air at 35_C and 55% relative humidity is heated using a
common furnace to 70_C. From the psychrometric chart, determine
how much heat is added per m 3 initial moist air and
what the fi nal dew-point temperature is.

Ambient air with a dew point of 1_C and a relative humidity
of 60% is conveyed at a rate of 1.5 m 3 /s through an electric
heater. The air is heated to a dry bulb temperature of 50_C.
The heated air is then allowed to pass through a tray drier that
contains 200 kg of apple slices with an initial moisture content
of 80% wet basis. The air exits the dryer with a dew-point
temperature of 21.2_C.
a. If the electrical energy costs 5/(kW h), calculate the
electrical costs for heating the air per hour of operation.
b. Calculate the amount of water removed by air from apple
slices per hour of operation.
c. If the dryer is operated for 2 h, what will be the final
moisture content of the apple slices (wet basis)?
9.13
Air at a dry bulb temperature of 100_C and 4% relative humidity
is passed over cooling coils to cool it to a dry bulb temperature
of 40_C. How much heat is removed from the air in the process?
