QUESTION:
Atmospheric air at 358C flows steadily into an adiabatic saturation device and leaves as a saturated mixture at 258C. Makeup water is supplied to the device at 258C. Atmospheric pressure is 98 kPa. Determine the relative humidity and specific humidity of the air
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
Atmospheric air flows steadily into an adiabatic saturation device and leaves as a saturated vapor. The relative humidity and specific humidity of air are to be determined.
Assumptions are
1. This is a steady-flow process and thus the mass flow rate of dry air remains constant during the entire process ) .
2. Dry air and water vapor are ideal gases.
3. The kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.
