(9)
12.55 Moist air at 25C,1atm, and 40% relative humidity enters
an evaporative cooling unit operating at steady state consisting of a
heating section followed by a soaked pad evaporative cooler operating
adiabatically. The air passing through the heating section is heated
to 43C. Next, the air passes through a soaked pad exiting with 40%
relative humidity. Using data from the psychrometric chart, determine
a. the humidity ratio of the entering moist air mixture.
b. the rate of heat transfer to the moist air passing through the
heating section, in kJ per kg of mixture.
c. the humidity ratio and temperature, in C, at the exit of the
evaporative cooling section.
