Example 2
Moist air enters a steam heating coil at 5 0C dry-bulb temperature and 3 0C thermodynamic
wet-bulb temperature, at a rate of 60 m3 per min. Barometric pressure is 92526.60 Pa. The
air leaves the coil at a dry bulb temperature of 60 0C. Determine mass flow rate of dry and
saturated steam at 100 0C required, if the condensate leaves the coil at 80 0C.
Given,
DBT1 = 5 0C, WBT1 = 3 0C,
mv= 60 m3/min = 3600 m3/hr,
Barometric pressure = 92526.60 Pa.

Dehumidification
C. Dehumidification :
Moisture Condensates Moist Air is cooled below its Dew Point.
Ideal Case : Condensation occurs when Tair = Dew Point Temp (DPT).
Further reduction Saturation Line till final state.
Real Case :
Air temperature near to the Heat Exchanger surfaces will drop below DPT.
While that near Centre Line of passage remains above DPT.
Dehumidification occurs even though average temperature is above DPT.
