Question: ( 7 ) 1 2 . 4 9 Moist air at 3 3 C and 6 0 % relative humidity enters a dehu - midifier

(7)
12.49 Moist air at 33C and 60% relative humidity enters a dehu-
midifier operating at steady state with a volumetric flow of rate of
230m3min. The moist air passes over a cooling coil and water va-
por condenses. Condensate exits the dehumidifier saturated at 12C.
Saturated moist air exits in a separate stream at the same temperature.
There is no significant loss of energy by heat transfer to the surround-
ings and pressure remains constant at 1 bar. Determine
a. the mass flow rate of the dry air, in kgmin.
b. the rate at which water is condensed, in kg per kg of dry air
flowing through the control volume.
c. the required refrigerating capacity, in tons.
