Consider an air conditioner operating in a recycle system mode where fresh air taken from the ambient atmosphere is to be cooled and dehumidified and then delivered to a room. Fresh air taker from the ambient atmosphere contains mol water. This fresh air stream is then mixed with the recycle stream and the resulting stream contains mol water. This stream coming out of the mixer is fed into the air conditioner unit, where a fraction of water present in the air is condensed and removed as liquid, the other stream containing mol water is taken out and is fed into a splitter where one stream is taken as the recycle stream and other stream is delivered into the room. The air which is delivered to the room contains mol water. Present the following assuming molesminute of air containing mol water is delivered to the room.
