Problem 3(15 pts)
Given:
A CAV system is used to control the room air at a temperature of \(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and relative humidity of \(50\%\). The outdoor air temperature and relatively humidity is \(5^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and \(20\%\), respectively. The return air mixes with the fresh air at a mass flow rate ratio of \(4: 1\)(return air: fresh air) before entering the air handling unit. A heating coil followed by a humidifier is used. The total air mass flow rate is 1\(\mathrm{kg}/\mathrm{s}\). The supply air temperature is \(30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), and relative humidity is \(40\%\). The pressure is a constant at 101.3 kPa .
Find:
(1) The temperature and relative humidity of the air entering the heating coil. (4 pts)
(2) The heat transfer rate at the heating coil, in kW .(7 pts)
(3) The mass flow rate of water vapor added to the air by the humidifier. (4 pts)
