Question:

The air-conditioning by evaporative cooling is modified by adding a dehumidification process before the water spray cooling process. This dehumidification is achieved as shown in Fig. P12.78 by using a desiccant material, which absorbs water on one side of a rotating drum heat exchanger. The desiccant is regenerated by heating on the other side of the drum to drive the water out. The pressure is 100 kPa everywhere and other properties are on the diagram. Calculate the relative humidity of the cool air supplied to the room at state 4, and the heat transfer per unit mass of air that needs to be supplied to the heater unit.
