➢ Mixing of two humid streams:

1. 𝑚 = 𝑚1 + 𝑚2

2. 𝑚ℋ = 𝑚1ℋ1 + 𝑚2ℋ2
(𝑚1 + 𝑚2)ℋ = 𝑚1ℋ1 + 𝑚2ℋ2

3. 𝑚H = 𝑚1H1 + 𝑚2H2
(𝑚1 + 𝑚2)H = 𝑚1H1 + 𝑚2H2
(ℋ−ℋ𝟏) (ℋ−ℋ𝟐)
4. =
(𝐇−𝐇𝟏) (𝐇−𝐇𝟐)

(ℋ−ℋ𝟏) 𝒎𝟐
5. =
(ℋ−ℋ𝟐) 𝒎𝟏

• We can calculate the humidity of the resultant stream by equation

➢ 𝑚ℋ = 𝑚1ℋ1 + 𝑚2ℋ2

• Humidity of stream 1, H1 and stream 2, H2 is calculated using

Temperature-Humidity chart
• Shown in next slide

➢ 𝑚ℋ = 𝑚1ℋ1 + 𝑚2ℋ2

H1 =0.043

H2=0.0065

• Thus, the humidity of the resultant stream is

➢ 𝑚ℋ = 𝑚1ℋ1 + 𝑚2ℋ2

• Calculation of enthalpy of resultant stream via equation

(𝐇 − 𝐇𝟏) 𝒎𝟐
=
(𝐇 − 𝐇𝟐) 𝒎𝟏

• Enthalpy of stream 1 and stream 2 is calculated using Enthalpy-

Humidity Chart
• Then finding the enthalpy of final resultant stream and temperature of
the resultant stream using same chart

• Point of intersection stream 1 humidity and temperature

• Draw a parallel line with respect to enthalpy lines it will give H1
(Orange line)
• Point of intersection of stream 2 humidity and temperature
• Draw a parallel line with respect to enthalpy lines it will give H1
(Maroon line)
• Join these two points by a staring line (Red line)
• On this line draw straight horizontal line of humidity of resultant
stream it will intersect at this line (Black line)
• Draw straight vertical line towards x-axis it will give temperature of
resultant stream (Blue line)
• Draw a parallel line it will give enthalpy of resultant stream (green
line)

➢ Addition of liquid or a vapor to a gas:

1. 𝑚3 = 𝑚1(ℋ − ℋ𝟏)

2. 𝑚1(H − H1) = 𝑚3H3

(H−H1)
3. 𝑚3 =
(ℋ−ℋ1)
