Question

Air is cooled and dehumidified as it flows over the coils of refrigeration system at 100 kPa from 30 ºC and relative humidityof 84%to 15 ºC and relative humidity of 100%. The mass flow rate of dry air is 0.4 kg/s.

Using the formulaand not the Psychrometric chart, determine:
a) the mass flow rate of water,
b)the heat removal from the air.

Answer 1

(a) The mass glow rate of water is 0.0032kg/s

(b) The heat removal from air is 14.17KJ/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to use the formula to calculate the mass flow rate and the heat removal from water based on the data in the question.

To answer this question, we take values of absolute humidity and enthalpy values from table from corresponding temperature
