Question: A ) Outside air at 5 C and 4 0 % relative humidity is heated at 2 5 C and final relative humidity is raised

A) Outside air at 5C and 40% relative humidity is heated at 25C and final relative humidity is raised to 40% while the temperature remains constant by introducing steam at 400kPa into the airstream. Determine the following:
[4]
a. Draw this process on a psychrometric chart
b. Find the needed rate of heat transfer if the incoming volume flow rate of air is 60m3min
c. Calculate the rate of steam supplied
d. Calculate the state of the steam introduced
B) Water is used to remove the heat from the condenser of a power plant. 12,000kgmin at 40C water enters a cooling tower. Water leaves it at 25C. Air enters the cooling tower at 20C,50% relative humidity and leaves it at 32C,98% relative humidity. Estimate the following:
[4]
a. The volume flow rate of air into the cooling tower
b. Mass flow rate of water that leaves the cooling tower from the bottom
 A) Outside air at 5C and 40% relative humidity is heated
