Question: An air-conditioning system is to take in air at 1 atm, 34C, and 70 percent relative humidity and deliver it at 22C and 50 percent

An air-conditioning system is to take in air at 1 atm, 34°C, and 70 percent relative humidity and deliver it at 22°C and 50 percent relative humidity. The air flows first over the cooling coils, where it is cooled and dehumidified, and then over the resistance heating wires, where it is heated to the desired temperature. Assuming that the condensate is removed from the cooling section at 10°C, determine (a) the temperature of air before it enters the heating section, (b) the amount of heat removed in the cooling section, and (c) the amount of heat transferred in the heating section, both in kJ/kg dry air.
