Q) A 5-m × 5-m × 3-m room shown in Fig contains air at 25°C and 100 kPa at a relative
humidity of 75 percent. Determine (a) the partial pressure of dry air, (b) the specific
humidity, (c) the enthalpy per unit mass of the dry air, and (d) the masses of the dry
air and water vapor in the room.

Q) In cold weather, condensation often occurs on the inner surfaces of the
windows due to the lower air temperatures near the window surface. Consider a
house, that contains air at 20°C and 75 percent relative humidity. Cold outside
temperature is 10°C. At what window temperature will the moisture in the air
start condensing on the inner surfaces of the windows?
SP/DESE/IITD
Q) The dry- and the wet-bulb temperatures of atmospheric air at 1 atm (101.325
kPa) pressure are measured to be 25 and 15°C, respectively. Determine (a) the
specific humidity, (b) the relative humidity, and (c) the enthalpy of the air.
SP/DESE/IITD
Q) Consider a room that contains air at 1 atm, 35°C, and 40 percent relative humidity.
Using the psychrometric chart, determine (a) the specific humidity, (b) the enthalpy, (c)
the wet-bulb temperature, (d) the dew-point temperature, and (e) the specific volume
of the air.

Q) An air-conditioning system is to take in outdoor air at 10°C and 30 percent
relative humidity at a steady rate of 45 m3/min and to condition it to 25°C and
60 percent relative humidity. The outdoor air is first heated to 22°C in the
heating section and then humidified by the injection of hot steam in the
humidifying section. Assuming the entire process takes place at a pressure of
100 kPa, determine (a) the rate of heat supply in the heating section and (b)
the mass flow rate of the steam required in the humidifying section.

Q) Air enters a window air conditioner at 1 atm, 30°C, and 80 percent relative
humidity at a rate of 10 m3/min, and it leaves as saturated air at 14°C. Part of
the moisture in the air that condenses during the process is also removed at
14°C. Determine the rates of heat and moisture removal from the air.
SP/DESE/IITD
Q) Moist air at 30°C dry-bulb temperature and 50% relative humidity enters a
cooling coil at 5 m3/s and is processed to a final saturation condition at 10°C.
Find the kW of refrigeration required.
SP/DESE/IITD
Q) Saturated air leaving the cooling section of an air-conditioning system at
14°C at a rate of 50 m3/min is mixed adiabatically with the outside air at 32°C
and 60 percent relative humidity at a rate of 20 m3/min. Assuming that the
mixing process occurs at a pressure of 1 atm, determine the specific humidity,
the relative humidity, the dry-bulb temperature, and the volume flow rate of
the mixture.

Q) An air conditioned space is maintained at 27°C dry bulb temperature and 40% relative
humidity. The ambient conditions are 40°C dry bulb temperature and 27°C wet bulb
temperature. The space has a sensible heat gain of 14kW. The air is supplied to the space
at 7°C saturated. Calculate:
1. Mass of moist air supplied to the space in kg / h
2. Latent heat gain of space in kW
3. Cooling load of air-washer in kW if 30 percent of air supplied to the space is fresh, the
remainder being re-circulated.

Q) The below figure is a sketch of the cross section of a heat exchanger. A warm fluid
flows through the center tube and a cooler fluid flows through the annulus. The
annulus is bounded by 4 standard type K tubing (outside) and 2 standard type K
inside. Determine the effective diameter and the hydraulic diameter of the annular flow
area.

Q) Chloroform flows at a rate of 0.01 m3/s through a 4-nominal schedule 40
wrought iron pipe. The pipe is laid out horizontally and is 250 m long. Calculate

Q) Copper tubing is used to convey methyl alcohol in a lubricating system. The system consists of 2 m of
3/4 std type M tubing attached in series to 3 m of 1/2 std type M copper tubing, as indicated in Figure. The
pressure drop over the 5 m length is 100 kPa. Determine the flow rate through the system.
