Resolved Balance Exercises

The document discusses various concepts related to air properties, including dew point, total pressure, vapor pressure, and saturation pressure. It explores changes in specific and relative humidity in sealed environments, calculations for specific humidity and volume in a tank, and the use of psychrometric charts to determine wet bulb temperature and enthalpy. Additionally, it describes a conditioning process for humid air and requires tracing the psychrometric diagram while calculating heat transfers involved.

1. Explain what the dew point is and what air properties it relates to.

it depends on its value. Explain the meaning of Total pressure, vapor pressure and

saturation pressure that appears when describing the air-vapor mixture.


2. How will the specific humidity and the relative humidity of the air change?
What happens to the contents in a well-sealed room when it is heated? Explain. Is it possible?

obtain saturated air from unsaturated air without adding humidity?


Explain
3. A tank contains 15 kg of dry air and 0.17 kg of water vapor at 30 °C and 100
Determine a) the specific humidity
relative, and c) the volume of the tank.
The atmospheric air at a pressure of 1 atm and a dry bulb temperature of 30
°C has a relative humidity of 80 percent. Using the psychrometric chart,
determine the wet bulb temperature
enthalpy and d) the dew point temperature.
5. Why does a simple heating or cooling process appear as
a horizontal line on the psychrometric chart? How does humidity change?
relative and specific during a simple heating process?
The air in a room is at 1 atm, 32 °C, and 60 percent relative humidity.
the specific humidity
wet bulb temperature, d) the dew point temperature, and e) the volume
specific humidity of air in m3/kg of dry air. Use the psychrometric chart.

7. A tank of 1.8 m3 contains saturated air at 20 °C and 90 kPa. Using the


online application that explores the psychrometric chart, determine a) the mass of
dry air, b) the specific humidity and c) the enthalpy of the air per unit mass
of dry air.
8. Humid air will be conditioned in a constant pressure process at 1 atm.
from 39 °C dry bulb and 50 percent relative humidity to 17 °C bulb
dry and 10.8 °C wet bulb. First, the air is made to pass over the
cooling serpentine to eliminate all the necessary moisture for
reach the final moisture content and then it is made to pass over the
warming serpentines to reach the final state. a) Trace the
psychrometric diagram of the process. b) Determine the dew point temperature
dew from the mixture at the entrance of the cooling coils and the entrance
from the heating coils. c) Determine the heat extracted by the
cooling coils, the heat added by the coils of
warming, and the net heat transfer throughout the entire process, everything
in kJ/kg of dry air.
