Assignment 001
•Example
# 1:
A mixture of dry air and water vapor is at 40
Dry bulb temperatureand a total pressure of
101Kpa at a density of 1.09…
•a.) Find the partial pressure of water vapor(Pv)
From Dalton’s law of partial pressure:
Pv=PT-Pa
From ideal gas Equation:
PV=mRT
Density==
Therefore:
P=density(RT)
•For dry air:
Pa=density of dry air(Ra)(Ta)
In which:
Pa=Partial Pressure of dry air
Ra=Gas constant of air(287,0.287)
Ta=Temperature of air at dry bulb in
K(absolute)
•
So,
PT-Pv=(Density)(Ra)(Ta)
Given:
Density=1.09
Ra=0.287
Ta=40+273=313K
Pv=PT-(Density)(Ra)(Ta)
Substitute:
Pv=101Kpa-[(1.09)(0.287)(313K)]
Pv=3.08421Kpa(unsaturated condition)
•From
steam tables:
At 40( Psat=Pv=7.384Kpa):saturated condition
b.)Finding the Dew Point Temperature(DPT) at
Pv=3.08421KPa:(unsaturated condition)
From steam tables: (By interpolation)
24 = 2.985Kpa
DPT = 3.08421Kpa
25=3.169Kpa
DPT=24.54
•Dew
point temperature(DPT) at saturated
condition:
DPT=DBT=40
Also:
Psat=7.384Kpa=Actual partial pressure of water
vapor(Pv)
c.)Partial Pressure of dry air(Pa):
For unsaturated (actual) condition:
Pa=PT-Pv
In which,
PT=101Kpa
Pv=3.08421Kpa
Pa=101Kpa-3.08421Kpa=97.91579Kpa
Partial pressure of dry air at saturated
condition:
PT=101Kpa
Pv=7.384Kpa
Pa=PT-Pv
Pa=101Kpa-7.384Kpa=93.616Kpa
•d.) Finding the Humidity Ratio(w):
w=,
PT=101Kpa
Pv=3.08421Kpa(unsaturated condition)
w==0.019592
•For saturated condition:
PT=101Kpa
Pv=7.384Kpa
w===0.04906
wdifference=0.04906-0.019592=0.029468
•e.) For finding the specific enthalpy of the
mixture(H):
H=cp(Tf-Ti)+w(hg),
Cp=1.0062(approximate specific heat at
constant pressure of dry air)
In air conditioning:(-1050)Typical temperatures
•For unsaturated condition:
w=0.019592
Hg=2574.3(At steam tables at 40):
H=(1.0062)(40-0)K
+(0.0195922574.3)
H=90.6837
•For saturated condition:
w=0.04906
H=[(1.0062)(40-0)]+[(0.04906)(2574.3)]
H=166.543158
Hdifference=75.8595
•f.) for finding the specific volume of dry air (v):
v=
For un saturated condition:
Pa=97.91579Kpa
v==0.91743, density=1.0900
For saturated condition:
Pa=93.616Kpa
v==0.95957,density=1.0421
•g.) Relative Humidity(RH):
For un saturated condition:
RH=
RH==41.7688%
For saturated condition:
Pv=Psat=7.3840Kpa
RH=
RH==100%
•h.) Degree of saturation(u):
u=
For unsaturated condition:
u==39.93%
For saturated condition:
u==100%
•Example

The moist air is at 65% RH and 30 dry bulb
temperature when barometric is 101Kpa…
a.)Psat=Pv=4.246Kpa
b.)Pv(actual)=2.7599Kpa
c.)Pa(sat)=96.754Kpa
Pa(actual)=98.2401Kpa
d.)DPT(sat)=30=DBT
DPT(actual)=22.70 (by interpolation)
