Properties of Air-Vapor Mixtures n Gibbs-Dalton Law n Up to 3 atm air-water mixtures follow perfect gas laws PB = barometric (total pressure) of moist air (k. Pa)
Dew-Point Temperature Water vapors in air = steam at low pressure n n Saturation temperature = dew point Obtained from steam table at partial pressure exerted by water vapor Below this temp, condensation of moisture
Humidity Ratio n Humidity Ratio (Moisture Content) or specific humidity, W (Kg water / ky dry air)

Relative Humidity n Relative to maximum amount of moisture at dry bulb temperature
Relative Humidity n Density of water vapor/density of saturated vapor at dry bulb temp of air
Humid Heat n n Of air-water vapor mixture Heat required to raise temp of 1 kg dry air + water vapor by 1 K (k. J/kg dry air. K) W = humidity ratio
Specific Volume n Volume of 1 kg dry air + water vapor
Adiabatic Saturation of Air n Evaporation of water by sensible heat of entering air
Wet-Bulb Temperature n Psychrometric wet bulb temperature n n Movement of air Thermodynamic wet bulb temperature
The Psychrometric Chart
Example n An air-vapor mixture is at 60 C dry bulb temp and 35 C wet bulb. Determine relative humidity, humidity ratio, specific volume, enthalpy and dew-point temp. n n RH = 20 %, W = 0. 026 kg/kg Enthalpy = 129 k. J/kg dry air Specific volume = 0. 98 m 3/kg dry air Dew-point temp = 29 C
Use of psychrometric chart to evaluate complex air-conditioning processes n Heating or Cooling of Air n Humidity ratio constant
Example n Calculate the rate of thermal energy required to heat 10 m 3/s of outside air at 30 C dry bulb temp and 80 % RH to a dry bulb temp of 80 C Mass flow rate = vol flow rate/ specific vol
Mixing of Air Inverse proportion
Drying n Adiabatic saturation process n n n Heat of evaporation is supplied only by drying air Dry bulb temp decreases, enthalpy constant ie. constant wet bulb Humidity ratio increases (gain moisture)
Example n Heated air at 50 C, 10 % RH is used to dry rice. Air exits under saturated condition. Determine amount of water removed per kg of dry air. n n W 1 = 0. 0078 kg/kg Follow constant enthalpy line W 2 = 0. 019 kg/kg Moisture removed = 0. 0112 kg/kg
