    1. Air at 80F and 80% relative humidity is cooled to 51F at a constant pressure of 1 atm. Use the
    psychrometric chart to calculate the fraction of the water that condenses, and the rate at which heat
    3
    must be removed to deliver 1000 ft of humid air at final condition.

    2. A stream of air at 30C and 10% relative humidity is humidified in an adiabatic spray tower operating
    at P~1 atm. The emerging air is to have a relative humidity of 40%.
    (i) Determine the absolute humidity and the adiabatic saturation temperature of the entering
    air.
    (ii) Use the psychrometric chart to calculate (i) the rate at which water must be added to
    humidify 1000 kg/h of entering air, and the temperature of the exiting air.

    3. Given a dry-bulb temperature of 40C and wet bulb temperature of 30C, find (a) dew-point
    temperature, (b) humidity ratio, (c) humid volume, (d) relative humidity, (e) humid heat, and (f)
    enthalpy of air-water vapor mixtures.

    4. A water-cooling tower is to be designed with a blower capacity of 75 m /s. The moist air enters at
    25C and wet bulb temperature of 20C. The exit air leaves at 30C and relative humidity of 80%.
    Determine the flow rate of water in kg/s, that can be cooled if the cooled water is not recycled. The
    water enters at 40C and leaves the tower at 25C.

    5. A stream of warm air with a dry-bulb temperature of 40C and a wet bulb temperature of 32C is
    mixed adiabatically with a stream of saturated cool air at 18C. The dry air mass flow rates of the
    warm and cool air streams are 8 and 6 kg/s respectively. Assuming a total pressure of 1 atm,
    determine (a) temperature, (b) specific humidity, and (c) relative humidity of mixture.

    6. A rotary dryer operating at atmospheric pressure dries 10 tons/day of wet grain at 70F, from a
    moisture content of 10% to 1% moisture. The air flow is countercurrent to the flow of grain, enters at
    225F dry bulb and 110F wet-bulb temperature, and leaves at 125F dry-bulb (see figure).

    Saturated Air
    125F dry bulb Air, 225F dry bulb
    & 110F wet bulb

    Grain, 1% water
    Grain, 10% water 110F
    70F

    Determine: (a) the humidity of entering and leaving air if the latter is saturated, (b) the water
    removal in pounds per hour, (c) the daily product output in pounds per day, and (d) the heat
    input to the dryer. Assume that there is no heat loss from the dryer, that the grain is
    discharged at 110F, and that its specific heat is 0.18.

    7. A dryer produces 180 kg/hr of product containing 8% water from a feed stream that contains
    1.25 g of water per gram of material. The air enters the dryer at 100C dry-bulb and a wet
    bulb temperature of 38C; the exit air leaves at 53C dry-bulb temperature and 60% relative
    humidity. Part of the exit air is mixed with fresh air supplied at 21C, 52% relative humidity
    as shown in the figure below. Calculate the air and heat supplied to the heater, neglecting any
    heat lost by the system. The specific heat of the product is 0.18.
