Question: In an air conditioning system, moist air passes through three different states: State 1 ( inlet ) : - Temperature: 2 8 deg C

In an air conditioning system, moist air passes through three different states:
State 1(inlet):
- Temperature: 28\deg C
- Pressure: 1 bar
- Relative Humidity: 0.7
Between States 1 and 2, a cooling process occurs, with a heat exchange given by dQ/dT =-38.9 kW.
State 2(cooling coil):
- Temperature: to be determined (T =?)
- Pressure: 1 bar
- Relative Humidity: 1
- The water temperature in state 2 equals the temperature of the wet vapor.
Between States 2 and 3, the moist air undergoes a heating process.
State 3(humidifier):
- Temperature: 24\deg C
- Pressure: 1 bar
- Relative Humidity: 0.4
Given that:
- The gravitational acceleration (g) is 9.81 m/s^2,
- The molar mass of water is 18 g/mol, and the molar mass of dry air is 28.97 g/mol,
- Moist air consists of water vapor and dry air,
Questions:
1. Calculate the water vapor pressure (HO) in the moist air at the inlet.
2. Determine the specific mass of HO in moist air at the inlet (Calculate in M/V).
3. Calculate the specific mass of dry air in the moist air at the inlet.
4. Determine the specific volume of moist air at the inlet.
5. Calculate the volumetric enthalpy of moist air at the inlet.
6. Determine the specific enthalpy of moist air at the inlet.
7. Calculate the water vapor pressure (HO) in moist air at the outlet of the humidifier.
8. Determine the specific mass of HO in moist air at the humidifier outlet.
9. Calculate the specific mass of dry air in moist air at the humidifier outlet.
10. Determine the specific enthalpy of moist air at the outlet of the humidifier.
11. Calculate the specific volume of moist air at the humidifier outlet.
12. Determine the volumetric enthalpy of moist air at the humidifier outlet.
13. Calculate the specific enthalpy of moist air at the coil outlet.
14. Knowing that the moist air at the outlet of the cooling coil contains the same HO content as dry air, and the moist air is saturated, use the P/T relation to calculate the exit temperature of the cooling coil.
15. Determine the volumetric enthalpy of moist air exiting the cooling coil.
16. Calculate the specific enthalpy of moist air exiting the cooling coil.
17. Calculate the mass flow rate of moist air at the inlet.
18. Determine the mass flow rate of condensed HO exiting the cooling coil.
19. Calculate the heat exchange rate of moist air exiting the cooling coil with the heating coil.
