the mixture is less that its saturation pressure at the temperature.

Consider increasing the total pressure of an air-water vapor mixture while the

temperature of the mixture is held constant. See if you can sketch the process on the

P-v diagram relative to the saturation lines for the water alone given below. Assume

that the water vapor is initially superheated.

P

v

When the mixture pressure is increased while keeping the mixture temperature

constant, the vapor partial pressure increases up to the vapor saturation pressure at

the mixture temperature and condensation begins. Therefore, the partial pressure of

the water vapor can never be greater than its saturation pressure corresponding to

the temperature of the mixture.

Definitions

Dew Point, Tdp

The dew point is the temperature at which vapor condenses or solidifies when cooled

at constant pressure.

Consider cooling an air-water vapor mixture while the mixture total pressure is held

constant. When the mixture is cooled to a temperature equal to the saturation

temperature for the water-vapor partial pressure, condensation begins.

When an atmospheric air-vapor mixture is cooled at constant pressure such that the

partial pressure of the water vapor is 1.491 kPa, then the dew point temperature of

that mixture is 12.95oC.

Steady-Flow Analysis Applied to Gas-Vapor Mixtures

We will review the conservation of mass and conservation of energy principles as

they apply to gas-vapor mixtures in the following example.

Example 14-3

Given the inlet and exit conditions to an air conditioner shown below. What is the

heat transfer to be removed per kg dry air flowing through the device? If the volume

flow rate of the inlet atmospheric air is 17 m3/min, determine the required rate of heat

transfer. Cooling fluid

Before we apply the steady-flow conservation of mass and energy, we need to decide

if any water is condensed in the process. Is the mixture cooled below the dew point

for state 1?

So for T2 = 20oC < Tdp, 1, some water-vapor will condense. Let's assume that the

condensed water leaves the air conditioner at 20oC. Some say the water leaves at

the average of 26 and 20oC; however, 20oC is adequate for our use here.

The Adiabatic Saturation Process

Air having a relative humidity less than 100 percent flows over water contained in a

well-insulated duct. Since the air has < 100 percent, some of the water will

evaporate and the temperature of the air-vapor mixture will decrease.

21

If the mixture leaving the duct is saturated and if the process is adiabatic, the

temperature of the mixture on leaving the device is known as the adiabatic

saturation temperature.

For this to be a steady-flow process, makeup water at the adiabatic saturation

temperature is added at the same rate at which water is evaporated.

We assume that the total pressure is constant during the process.

Wet-Bulb and Dry-Bulb Temperatures

In normal practice, the state of atmospheric air is specified by determining the wet-

bulb and dry-bulb temperatures. These temperatures are measured by using a device

called a psychrometer. The psychrometer is composed of two thermometers

mounted on a sling. One thermometer is fitted with a wet gauze and reads the wet-

bulb temperature. The other thermometer reads the dry-bulb, or ordinary,

temperature. As the psychrometer is slung through the air, water vaporizes from the

wet gauze, resulting in a lower temperature to be registered by the thermometer. The

dryer the atmospheric air, the lower the wet-bulb temperature will be. When the

relative humidity of the air is near 100 percent, there will be little difference between

the wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperatures. The wet-bulb temperature is approximately

equal to the adiabatic saturation temperature. The wet-bulb and dry-bulb

temperatures and the atmospheric pressure uniquely determine the state of the

atmospheric air.

28

The Psychrometric Chart

For a given, fixed, total air-vapor pressure, the properties of the mixture are given in

graphical form on a psychrometric chart.

Example 14-5

Determine the relative humidity, humidity ratio (specific humidity), enthalpy of the

atmospheric air per mass of dry air, and the specific volume of the mixture per mass

of dry air at a state where the dry-bulb temperature is 24oC, the wet-bulb temperature

is 16oC, and atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa.
