15.1 250 kg/h of air saturated at 2𝑜 𝐶 is mixed with 50 kg/h of air at 35𝑜 𝐶 and 80% RH. Determine the final
state of air.
15.2 Air is 20𝑜 𝐶 DBT and 19𝑜 𝐶 WBT enters a heating and humidifying apparatus, from which it leaves at
35𝑜 𝐶 DBT and 28 oC DPT. Moisture is supplied as liquid water at 25 oC to humidify the air. Find the
quantity of heat that must be added per kg of dry air through the apparatus
15.3 500 kg of air is supplied per minute to an auditorium maintained at 21 oC and 40% RH. The outside air at
5 oC DBT and 60% RH is first passed over heating coils and is heated until its WBT is equal to room
WBT. It is then passed through an adiabatic saturator and is finally heated to 45 oC before being supplied
to the room. Determine:
i. The heat added in both the heating coils
ii. The mass of water evaporated in the air washer.
15.4 Given:
Room conditions: 26 oC DBT, 19 oC WBT
Outside conditions: 35 oC DBT, 27 oC WBT
Room heat gains:
Sensible heat = 11.1 kW
Latent heat = 3.9 kW
The conditioned air supplied to the room is 50 cmm and contains 25% fresh and and 75% recirculated room
air. Determine:
a. The DBT and WBT of supply air.
b. The DBT and WBT of mixed fresh and recirculated air before the cooling coil
c. The apparatus dew point and bypass factor of the coil.
d. The refrigeration load on the cooling coil and the moisture removed by the coil
15.5 In an auditorium which is to be maintained at a temperature not exceeding 24 oC, and a relative humidity
not exceeding 60%, a sensible heat load of 132 kW and 84 kg/h of moisture has to be removed. Air is
supplied to the auditorium at 15 oC.
a. How many kg of air per hour must be supplied?

b. What is the dew point temperature of supply air and what is its relative humidity?
c. How much latent heat is picked up in the auditorium?
d. What is the sensible heat factor?
e. What is the ADP of the coil, and what is its BPF?
15.6 An air conditioned space is maintained at 25 oC DBT and 50% RH. The outside conditions are 40 oC DB
and 25 oC WB. The space has a sensible heat gain of 24.5 kW. Conditioned air is supplied to the space as
saturated air at 10 oC. The equipment consists of an air washer. The air entering the air washer comprises
25% outside air, the remainder being recirculated room air.
Calculate:
i. Volume flow rate of air supplied to space

ii. Latent heat gain of space
iii. Cooling load of air washer.
15.7 Given for the air conditioning of a room
Room Conditions: 26.5 oC DBT and 50% RH
Room sensible heat gain = 26.3 kW
Room sensible heat factor = 0.82
Find:
i. The room latent heat gain

ii. The apparatus dew point.
iii. The cmm of air if it is supplied to the room at the apparatus dew point.
iv. The cmm and specific humidity of air if it is supplied to the room at 17 oC.
15.8
a. 28.5 cmm of room air at 25.5 oC DBT and 50% RH is mixed with 28.5 cmm of outside air at 38 oC DBT
and 27 oC WBT. Find the ventilation load and the condition of air after mixing.
b. The above mixture of air is passed through air conditioning equipment. If the wet bulb temperature of
air after the equipment is 14.5 oC, determine the heat removed by the equipment.
15.9 An air washer cools and dehumidifies 18,200 kg of dry air per hour from 41 oC DBT and 24 oC WBT.
Chilled water enters the washer at 7 oC with flow of 18,500 kg per hour. The washer is 88% effective.
What is the heat removed from the air in kW?
15.10 Saturated steam at standard atmospheric pressure is injected into a passing air stream in an amount
sufficient to raise the absolute humidity from 0.0057 to 0.0143 kg w.v./ kg d.a. If the air enters the
humidifier at 21 oC DBT, determine its leaving state.
15.11 300 cmm of outside air at 5 oC and 60% RH are heated and humidified to maintain room condition at 21
o
C and 40% RH. Devise a suitable system for the air conditioning and find the kW of various heaters and
the moisture added. The supply air temperature at 45 oC and the room sensible heat factor is 0.75.
15.12 Moist air at 31 oC dry bulb, and 22 oC wet bulb and 1013.25 mbar barometric pressure flows over a cooler
coil and leaves it at a state of 10 oC dry bulb and 7.95 g w.v./kg d.a.
a. If the air is required to offset a sensible heat gain of 2.5 kW and a latent heat gain of 0.35 kW
in a room being air-conditioned, calculate the mass of dry air which must be supplied to the
room in order to maintain a dry-bulb temperature of 23.5 oC inside.
b. What will be the relative humidity in the room?
c. If the sensible heat gain is diminished by 1.75 kW but the latent heat gain remains unchanged,
at what temperature and moisture content must the air be supplied to the room?
15.13 a summer air conditioning plant mixes 70 cmm of outside air at 35 oC DB and 23 oC WB with 210 cmm
of return air at 24 oC DB and 50% RH. The mixture passes over a cooling coil. Air off the coil is 90% RH.
The room SHF is 0.7
