Q1.A sample of moist air has a dry bulb temperature of 25° C and a relative humidity of 50
per cent. The barometric pressure is 740 mm of Hg. Calculate: 1. partial pressure of water
vapor and dry air ;2. dew point temperature and moisture content of air; 3. enthalpy of air per
kg of dry air. [Ans. 0.01583 bar; 14° C; 0.0l01 kg / kg of dry air; 50.81 kJ/ kg of dry air]
Q2: The moist air exists at a total pressure of 1.01325 bar and 25° C dry bulb temperature. If
the degree of saturation is 50%, determine the following using steam tables: 1. Moisture
content; 2. Dew point temperature; and 3. Specific volume of moist air. [Ans. 10.03 g / kg of
dry air; 14° C; 0.857 m3/ kg]
Q3: The atmospheric conditions of air are 35° C dry bulb temperature, 60% relative humidity
and 1.01325 bar pressure. If 0.005 kg of moisture per kg of dry air is removed, the temperature
becomes 25° C. Determine the final relative humidity and dew point temperature. [Ans. 88.6%;
23° C]
Q4: The atmospheric air enters the adiabatic saturator at 33° C dry bulb temperature and 23°
C wet bulb temperature. The barometric pressure is 740 mm of Hg. Determine the moisture
content and vapor pressure at 33° C. [Ans. 0.012 kg / kg of dry air; 13 mm of Hg]
Q5: The atmospheric air has 35° C dry bulb temperature and 50% relative humidity. Using
psychrometric chart, find (i) wet bulb temperature, (ii) humidity ratio, (iii) dew point
temperature, and (iv) enthalpy of air per kg of dry air. [Ans. 26.2° C; 0.0178 kg / kg of dry air;
23° C; 81 kJ / kg of dry air]
Q6: The atmospheric air at 750 mm of Hg has 34° C dry bulb temperature and 19° C wet bulb
temperature. Using psychrometric chart, find (a) partial pressure of vapor, (b) saturation
pressure corresponding to 34° C, and (c) volume of air per kg of dry air. [Ans. 8.5 mm of Hg;
39.9 mm of Hg; 0.088 m3/kg of dry air]
Q7: The atmospheric air at 15° C dry bulb temperature and 80% relative humidity is supplied
to the heating chamber at the rate of 100 m3/min. The leaving air has a temperature of 22° C
without change in its moisture contents. Determine the heat added to the air per min. and final
relative humidity of the air. [Ans. 843 kJ/ min; 52%]
Q8: 100 m3 of air at 35°C and 70% relative humidity is cooled to 20° C and 55% relative
humidity by passing it through a cooling coil. Using psychrometric tables only, find: 1. the
amount of water vapor removed in kg /h; and 2. the cooling capacity of the coil in tones of
refrigeration assume specific heat of superheated vapor in air as 1.88 kJ/kg K and R for air =
287.14 kJ/kg K.
[Ans. 144 kg/h. ; 37 TR]
