Suppose a sample of stack gas is inserted in the sample chamber of the hygrometer and a reading of R = 33.9 is obtained. If the mass flow rate of the stack gas is 1050 kg/h, what is the mass flow rate of water vapor in the gas? i kg/h Save for Later A hygrometer, which measures the amount of moisture in a gas stream, is to be calibrated using the apparatus shown here: Air TUTTO DRYER ROTAMETERS HYGROMETER Water EVAPORATOR Steam Steam and dry air are fed at known flow rates and mixed to form a gas stream with a known water content, and the hygrometer reading is recorded; the flow rate of either the water or the air is changed to produce a stream with a different water content and the new reading is recorded, and so on. The following data are taken: Mass Fraction Hygrometer of Water, y Reading, R. 2011 Steam and dry air are fed at known flow rates and mixed to form a gas stream with a known water content, and the hygrometer reading is recorded; the flow rate of either the water or the air is changed to produce a stream with a different water content and the new reading is recorded, and so on.
