Question: Atmospheric air enters an air-conditioning system at 30°C and 70 percent relative humidity with a volume flow rate of 4 m3/min and is cooled to

Atmospheric air enters an air-conditioning system at 30°C and 70 percent relative humidity with a volume flow rate of 4 m3/min and is cooled to 20°C and 20 percent relative humidity at a pressure of 1 atm. The system uses refrigerant- 134a as the cooling fluid that enters the cooling section at 350 kPa with a quality of 20 percent and leaves as a saturated vapor. Draw a schematic and show the process on the psychrometric chart. What is the heat transfer from the air to the cooling coils, in kW? If any water is condensed from the air, how much water will be condensed from the atmospheric air per min? Determine the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, in kg/min.
