Question: The mass transfer coefficient from a free water surface to an adjacent moving air stream has been found to be 0 . 0 1 7

The mass transfer coefficient from a free water surface to an adjacent moving air stream has been found to be 0.017 kg/m's. The water surface area and temperature are 1 m^2 and 27\deg C. If the air stream has a dry-bulb temperature of 45\deg C and the rate evaporation from the water surface is 6.8\times 10-5 kg/s, calculate:(i) the humidity and relative humidity of the air stream.(i) rate of supply of heat energy needed for the evaporation.
