Basis and definition:
*1 hours of steady state operation*100 mol of dry gas*wet gas is gas with water vapour included in while dry gas is gas without water vapour*wet basis is gas composition with water content included while dry basis is gas composition without water vapour included in it*This means that the gas composition on wet basis has to be determined
*But gas composition under saturation at 20 and 35 deg C can be determined
Step 1) Find total mole of wet gas
a)Let standard condition beT 15 deg C 288.15 KP 14.7 psia 1.013 bar
b) Use ideal gas to find volume at normal condition
PoVo=
ToP1V1 T1
@ 20 deg C @ 35 deg CV1 834.46 m3 821.14 m3
b) Use ideal gas to find total no of moles of wet gas
*If water content is saturated,it means that partial pressure of water vapour is the same as vapour pressure of water at a specific temperature (means relative humidity is 100%).But to have relative humidity data is contradicting the "saturated" statement
@ 20 deg C @ 35 deg Ctotal no of moles of wet gas 8.809 mol 8.809
Step 2) Find mole of water
a) Use antoine equation to find vapor pressure of water
A 8.07131B 1730.63C 233.426
@ 20 deg C @ 35 deg Cvapor pressure of water P*w 55.193 mmHg 42.071 mmHg
0.074 bar 0.056 bar
b) If we know what is the relative humidity definition, partial pressure of water can be found
relative humidity(R.H)=partial pressure of water
vapor pressure of water @ specific temperature
relative humidity 60%@ 20 deg C relative humidity 90%@ 35 deg CPw 0.044 bar 0.050 bar
c)Use ideal gas to find out moles of water

Step 4) Final step is to find gas composition on wet basis at 20 deg C and 35 deg C
