HUMIDIFICATION

DEFINITION OF TERMS
HUMIDIFICATION
Involves the transfer of material between a pure liquid phase and a fixed gas that is nearly
insoluble in the liquid
HUMIDITY,
The mass of vapor carried by a unit mass of vapor-free gas; it depends only on the partial
pressure of the vapor in the mixture when the total pressure is fixed
=

SATURATED GAS
A gas in which the vapor is in equilibrium with the liquid at the gas temperature; the partial
pressure of vapor in saturated gas equals the vapor pressure of the liquid at the gas
temperature
=

RELATIVE HUMIDITY,
Defined as the ratio of the partial pressure of the vapor to the vapor pressure of the liquid at
the gas temperature; it is usually expressed on a percentage basis; 100% relative humidity
means saturated gas and 0% relative humidity means vapor-free gas
=

PERCENT HUMIDITY,
Ratio of the actual humidity, H, to the saturation humidity, HS, at the gas temperature, also
on a percentage basis; percent humidity is less than the relative humidity
=

HUMID HEAT,
Heat energy necessary to increase the temperature of 1 g or 1 lb of gas plus whatever vapor
it may contain by 1C or 1F
=

HUMID VOLUME,
Total volume of a unit mass of vapor-free gas plus whatever vapor it may contain at 1 atm
and the gas temperature
=

DEW POINT
Temperature to which a gas-vapor mixture must be cooled (at constant humidity) to
become saturated; the dew point of a saturated gas phase equals the gas temperature
TOTAL ENTHALPY, i
Enthalpy of a unit mass of gas plus whatever vapor it may contain; to calculate h, two
reference states must be chosen, one for the gas and one for the vapour

DRY BULB TEMPERATURE,

Actual gas temperature
WET BULB TEMPERATURE,
Temperature obtained when the heat required to vaporize a small amount of liquid (water
for air-water system) into a large volume of gas (air for air-water system) exactly equals the
sensible heat transferred from the gas to the liquid.

condensable vapor

THEORY OF WET BULB TEMPERATURE

The rate of heat transfer from the gas to the liquid may be equated to the product of the rate
of vaporization and the sum of the latent heat of evaporation at temperature
and the
sensible heat of the vapour; neglecting radiation

HUMIDIFICATION PROCESSES

Humidity

1. SENSIBLE COOLING
During this process, the moisture content of air
remains constant but its temperature decreases as
it flows over a cooling coil. For moisture content to
remain constant the surface of the cooling coil
should be dry and its surface temperature should
be greater than the dew point temperature of air. If
the cooling coil is 100% effective, then the exit
temperature of air will be equal to the coil

PROBLEM # 03:
At an oil refinery in Batangas, cooling water for the condensers and coolers in the plant is
provided by a closed-loop cooling water system. From the plant, used cooling water is sent
to a cooling tower to reduce its temperature. Make-up water is added before the cooled
water is circulated back to the plant. In the cooling tower, the used water enters the top at
an average bulk temperature of 40C. The cooled water accumulated at the basin below the
tower has a temperature of 25C. Ambient air at 25C and 50% RH is induced into the
tower and leaves at the top at 35C fully saturated. Heat losses to the surroundings may be
assumed to be negligible. For every cu.m of cooling water used in the plant, calculate:
c) the volume of ambient air, in cu.m, that is induced into the cooling tower
d) the quantity of make-up water, in liters, that has to be added to the system
