    • Effect of Heating and Adiabatic Cooling Page
      1988-5-b-vi-mt
      Air with a dry bulb temperature \(t_{d1}\) and a wet bulb temperature \(t_{w1}\) is passed through a heater and then through an adiabatic cooler from which it emerges with dry and wet bulb temperatures of \(t_{d2}\) and \(t_{w2}\) respectively. Then
      1. always \(t_{w1} > t_{w2} \mbox { and } t_{d1} > t_{d2}\)
      2. always \(t_{w1} < t_{w2} \mbox { and } t_{d1} > t_{d2}\)
      3. always \(t_{w1} > t_{w2} \mbox { and } t_{d1} < t_{d2}\)
      4. \(t_{w1} < t_{w2} \mbox { and } t_{d1} \mbox { can be greater than, equal to or less than } t_{d2}\)

    • Relative Humidity from Dewpoint and Vapor Pressure Data Page
      1994-9-mt
      Air at 30\(^\circ\)C and 150 kPa in a closed container is compressed and cooled. It is found that the first droplet of water condenses at 200 kPa and 15\(^\circ\)C. Calculate the percent relative humidity of the original air. The vapor pressures of water at 15\(^\circ\)C and 30\(^\circ\)C are 1.7051 kPa and 4.246 kPa respectively.

      Air is passed through a heater at constant pressure. The inlet and outlet conditions of the air are as follows:
      Inlet:
      Dry bulb temperature = 31.7\(^\circ \)C
      Wet bulb temperature = 23.9\(^\circ \)C
      Humidity = 30%
      Outlet:
      Dry bulb temperature = 70\(^\circ \)C
      1. The inlet air will have a dew point
        1. Equal to 23.9\(^\circ\)C
        2. Between 23.9\(^\circ\)C and 31.7\(^\circ\)C
        3. Greater than 31.7\(^\circ\)C
        4. Less than 23.9\(^\circ \)C
      2. In the above problem, the air from the heater will have a humidity:
        1. Equal to 30%

    • Dry-Bulb Temperature of Air from Wet-Bulb Temperature Data Page
      2000-11-mt
      Air at 1 atm is blown past the bulb of a mercury thermometer. The bulb is covered with a wick. The wick is immersed in an organic liquid (molecular weight = 58). The reading of the thermometer is 7.6\(^\circ\)C. At this temperature, the vapor pressure of the liquid is 5 kPa. Find the air temperature (in \(^\circ\)C), given that the ratio of heat transfer coefficient to the mass transfer coefficient (psychrometric ratio) is 2 kJ/kg.K and the latent heat of vaporization of the liquid is 360 kJ/kg. Assume that the air, which is blown, is free from the organic vapor.
