    AIR CONDITIONING AND MW

    VENTILATION SYSTEMS 8:00-10:30


    FUNCTIONS OF AIR CONDITIONING
    1. Control the temperature
    2. Control the humidity
    3. Control the purity
    4. Control the air circulation
    SATURATED AIR
    ➢ Air whose condition is such that any decrease in temperature will result in
    condensation of the water vapor into liquid
    ➢ Mixture of dry air and saturated water vapor
    ➢ Air is saturated, if the vapor pressure of air is equal to the saturation pressure
    𝑷𝒗 = 𝑷𝒔𝒂𝒕

    ➢ If air is saturated, the dry bulb temperature, the wet bulb temperature, and the
    dew point temperature are equal.
    𝒕𝒅𝒃 = 𝒕𝒘𝒃 = 𝒕𝒅𝒑
    UNSATURATED AIR
    ➢ Air containing superheated vapor
    ➢ Air which is a mixture of dry air and superheated vapor
    ➢ If air is unsaturated, the dew point temperature is less than the wet bulb
    temperature and dry bulb temperature
    𝒕𝒅𝒑 < 𝒕𝒘𝒃 < 𝒕𝒅𝒃
    PROPERTIES OF AIR
    1. Temperature, 𝒕
    a. Dry bulb temperature
    b. Wet bulb temperature
    c. Dew point temperature

    2. Pressure, P
    ➢ From Dalton’s Law of partial pressure, the total pressure of atmospheric air is the sum of the
    partial pressure of dry air and the partial pressure of water vapor.
    𝑷 = 𝑷𝒂 + 𝑷𝒗
    Where:
    𝑷 = total pressure of air-water vapor mixture
    𝑷𝒂 = partial pressure of dry air
    𝑷𝒗 = partial pressure of water vapor
    PROPERTIES OF AIR
    3. Specific volume and density,
    ➢ From Ideal Gas Equation, 𝑷𝑽 = 𝒎𝑹𝑻
    𝑽𝒂 𝑹𝒂 𝑻 𝑹𝒂 𝑻 𝒎𝟑
    𝒗= = = 𝒅𝒓𝒚 𝒂𝒊𝒓
    𝒎 𝑷𝒂 𝑷 − 𝑷𝒗 𝒌𝒈
    𝟏 𝒌𝒈
    𝑫𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒚, 𝝆 = 𝒅𝒓𝒚 𝒂𝒊𝒓
    𝒗 𝒎𝟑
    Where:
    𝒗 = specific volume
    𝑹𝒂 = gas constant of air, 0.287 kJ/kg K
    PROPERTIES OF AIR
    4. Humidity Ratio, W
    ➢ Is the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the mass of dry air. The mass of water vapor is usually
    measured in grains. (7,000 grains = 1 pound)
    𝑷𝒗 𝑷𝒗
    𝑾 = 𝟎. 𝟔𝟐𝟐 = 𝟎. 𝟔𝟐𝟐
    𝑷𝒂 𝑷 − 𝑷𝒗
    Where:
    𝑃 = total pressure, kPa
    𝑃𝑣 = partial pressure of water vapor, kPa
    PROPERTIES OF AIR
    5. Enthalpy, h
    𝒉 = 𝑪𝒑 𝒕 + 𝑾𝒉𝒈
    Where:
    𝑪𝒑 = specific heat of dry air = 1.0 kJ/kg C
    𝒕 = dry bulb temperature
    𝑾 = humidity ratio
    𝒉𝒈 = enthalpy of saturated water vapor at the air temperature
    PROPERTIES OF AIR
    6. Relative Humidity, RH
    𝑷𝒗
    𝑹𝑯 =

    7. Percent Saturation, %
    𝑾
    % 𝑺𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 =
    𝑾𝒔𝒂𝒕
    SAMPLE PROBLEMS
    1. What is the specific volume of an air-vapor mixture at 24 deg. Celsius and
    relative humidity of 50% at atmospheric pressure?
    SAMPLE PROBLEMS
    2. What is the enthalpy of the air-vapor mixture at 65% relative humidity and 34C
    when the barometric pressure is 101.325 kPa?
