Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Miscellaneous
- Moist air is treated as an ideal gas mixture of water vapor and dry air (molecular weight of air = 28.84 and molecular weight of water = 18). At a location, the total pressure is 100 kPa, the temperature is 30°C and the relative humidity is 55%. Given that the saturation pressure of water at 30°C is 4246 Pa, the mass of water vapor per kg of dry air is ______ grams.

w = 0.622 Pv P - Pv φ = Pv Ps ⇒ 0.55 = Pv Ps
⇒ Pv = 2235.3w = 0.622 × 2235.3 - 2235.3 (100 × 103)
w = 0.0142 kg/kg of dry air
w = 14.2 gm/kg of dry airCorrect Option: A
w = 0.622 Pv P - Pv φ = Pv Ps ⇒ 0.55 = Pv Ps
⇒ Pv = 2235.3w = 0.622 × 2235.3 - 2235.3 (100 × 103)
w = 0.0142 kg/kg of dry air
w = 14.2 gm/kg of dry air
- A stream of moist air (mass flow rate = 10.1 kg/s) with humidity ratio of 0.01 kg/kg dry air mixes with a second stream of superheated water vapour flowing at 0.1 kg/s. Assuming proper and uniform mixing with no condensation, the humidity ratio of the final stream in (kg/kg dry air) is ______.

ωnew = m1ω1 + m2ω2 m1 + m2 ⇒ 0.1 × 10.1 × + .1 × 1 = 0.02kg/kg dry air 10.1 + .1
Correct Option: A
ωnew = m1ω1 + m2ω2 m1 + m2 ⇒ 0.1 × 10.1 × + .1 × 1 = 0.02kg/kg dry air 10.1 + .1
- The pressure, dry bulb temperature and relative humidity of air in a room are 1 bar, 30°C and 70%, respectively. If the saturated steam pressure at 30°C is 4.25 kPa, the specific humidity of the room air in kg of water vapour/kg dry air is

ma = 35 kg, mv = 0.5 kg
w = mv = 0.5 = 0.01428 mv 35 also w = 0.622 Pv Pa
Pt = 100 kPa∴ w = 0.622 × Pv Pt - Pv Now, 0.01428 = 0.622 × Pv Pt - Pv
Pv = 2.238 kPa
Relative humidityφ = Pv = 2.238 × 100 Ps 3.17
φ = 70.6% = 71%Correct Option: D
