Air enters an air conditioning unit at 1 atm, 30 C, and 70% relative humidity, at a dry air flow rate of 100 m/hr. It leaves the unit as saturated air at 14 C. Condensate is also removed at 14 C. For the conditions used, dry air can be treated as an ideal gas, and the ideal gas constant for air can be taken as 287 Jkg-1K-1. Making use of the psychrometric chart and/or the data book, determine the following: (i) The rate of moisture removal from the air. (ii) The rate of heat removal from the air. Where values have been taken from the psychrometric chart or the data book, please state this clearly in your working.
