Question: Atmospheric air at ( 3 0 ^ { circ } mathrm { C } ) and ( 9 0

Atmospheric air at \(30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and \(90\%\) relative humidity flows into a cooling duct at \(0.25\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{s}\) as shown in FIGURE Q3. As it exits the duct, air is cooled to \(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and \(60\%\) relative humidity. During the process, some water vapor in the air is condensed into liquid and is removed from the duct.

b. Determine the mass flow rate of water removed from the atmospheric air.
c. Indicate the specific humidity change in the process.
d. If the cooled air is to be maintained at \(22^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) but its relative humidity is tobe reduced to \(40\%\), design a mechanism to remove the additional moisture content from the cooled air.
