Reconsider Prob. 14–74. Using EES (or other) software, investigate the effects of temperature and relative humidity of air inside the house on the amount of water vapor that will migrate through the roof. Let the temperature vary from 15°C to 30°C and the relative humidity from 30 to 70 percent. Plot the amount of water vapor that will migrate as functions of the temperature and the relative humidity, and discuss the results.

Data from problem 74

The roof of a house is 15 m × 8 m and is made of a 20-cm-thick concrete layer. The interior of the house is maintained at 25°C and 50 percent relative humidity and the local atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Determine the amount of water vapor that will migrate through the roof in 24 h if the average outside conditions during that period are 3°C and 30 percent relative humidity. The permeability of concrete to water vapor is 24.7 × 10-12 kg/s · m · Pa.
