    pressure. Determine:
    a) The specific humidity [ 0.0143 kg H2O / kg dry air ]
    b) The relative humidity [ 52.9 % ]
    c) The volume of the tank [ 18.7 m3 ]

    3. The air in the room has a dry-bulb temperature of 25 oC and wet bulb temperature of 20
    o
    C. At pressure of 100 kPa, Determine:
    a) The specific humidity
    b) The relative humidity
    c) The dew-point temperature

    4. Humid air at 1 atm 30 oC and 60% relative humidity is cooled at constant pressure to the
    dewpoint temperature. Determine the cooling required (in kJ/kg dry air)
    [ 8.9 kJ/kg dry air ].

    5. Air enters a 30-cm diameter cooling section at 1 atm, 35 oC and 45% relative humidity at
    18 m/s. heat is removed at a rate of 750 kJ/min. Determine the air’s :
    a) exit temperature [ 26.5 oC ]
    b) exit relative humidity [ 73.1 % ]
    c) exit velocity [ 17.5 m/s ]

    6. Saturated humid air at 200 kPa and 15 oC is heated to 30 oC as it flow through a 4 cm


    diameter pipe with a velocity of 20 m/s. Assuming no pressure drop, calculate
    a) the relative humidity at the pipe outlet [ 40.2 % ]
    b) the rate of heat transfer to the air [ 0.918 kW ]

    7. Air at 1 atm, 15 oC and 60 % relative is first heated to 20 oC in a heating section and the
    humidified by introducing water vapor. The air leaves the humidifying section at 25 oC
    and 65 % relative humidity. Determine:
    a) The amount of steam added to the air [ 0.0065 kg H2O/ kg dry air]
    b) The amount of heat transfer in the heating section [ 5.1 kJ/kg dry air]
    8. An air conditioning system operates at a total pressure of 1 atm and consist of heating
    section and humidifier that supply wet steam at 100 oC. Air enter the heating section at
    10 oC and 70 % relative humidity at a rate of 35 m3/min, and leaves the humidifying
