Solution
• Usepsychrometric chart.• Initialcondition:10.0°Cdrybulbtemperatureandawet-bulbtemperatureof5°Ccorrolates toapproximately40%humidityand0.003kg/kgdryair• Desiredcondition:adry-bulbtemperatureof25°Candarelativehumidityof60.0%whichmeansweareaimingat0.012kg/kgdryairmoisturecontent.• So,0.003kgmoisture/kgdryairX1000=3kgmoisture• Final,0.012kgmoisture/kgdryairX1000=12kgmoisture• 12-3=9kgmoistureshouldbeadded.
