Question: 1 . ( a ) What is the lowest temperature that air can attain in an evaporative cooler if it enters at ( 1

1.(a) What is the lowest temperature that air can attain in an evaporative cooler if it enters at \(1\mathrm{~atm},302\mathrm{~K}\) and 40 percent relative humidity? Show the process in psychrometry chart.
(b) Air at \(10^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) dry bulb temperature and \(90\%\) relative humidity is to be heated and humidified to \(35^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) dry bulb temperature and \(22.5^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) wet butb temperature. The air is pre-heated sensibly before passing to the air washer in which water is recirculated. The relative humidity of the air coming out of the air washer is \(90\%\). This air is again reheated sensibly to obtain the final desire condition. Find by using psychrometry chart: (i) the temperature to which the air should be preheated, (ii) the total heating required, (iii) the makeup water required in the air washer, and (iv) the humidifying efficiency of the air washer.
