Question for GATE Past Year Questions: Psychrometric Process
Try yourself:Water at 42°C is sprayed into a stream of air at atmospheric pressure, dry bulb temperature of 40ºC and a wet bulb temperature of 20°C. The air leaving the spray humidifier is not saturated. Which of the following statements is true?
[2005]
Explanation
Here, tDBT = 40°, tWBT = 20°
Water sprayed at temperature = 42°
Since, twater spray > tDBT so heating and humidification.

Question for GATE Past Year Questions: Psychrometric Process
Try yourself:Atmospheric air at a flow rate of 3 kg/s (on dry basis) enters a cooling and dehumidifying coil with an enthalpy of 85 kJ/kg of dry air and a humidity ratio of 19 grams/kg of dry air. The air leaves the coil with an enthalpy of 43 kJ/kg of dry air and a humidity ratio of 8 grams/kg of dry air. If the condensate water leaves the coil with an enthalpy of 67 kJ/kg, the required cooling capacity of the coil in kW is
[2007]
Explanation
Mass flow rate of condensate,
mw = ma (w1 - w2 ) = 3 x (.019 - .008) = .033 kg/s
By applying energy balance equation we get
3×85 = 3×43 + 0.033×67 + Q
Q = 123.8 kW

Try yourself:Air (at atmospheric pressure) at a dry bulb temperature of 40°C and wet bulb temperature of 20°C is humidified in an air washer operating with continuous water recirculation. The wet bulb depression, the difference between the dry and wet bulb temperatures) at the exit is 25% of that at the inlet. The dry bulb temperature at the exit of the air washer is closest to
