    5 Define dew point temperature.The temperature at which the water vapour present in air begins to condense when theair is cooled is known as dew point temperature.

    6 Define relative humidity and specific humidity.RH is the ratio of mass of water vapour (mv) in a certain volume of moist air at a given temperatureto the mass of water vapour (mvs) in the same volume of saturated air at the same temperature.i.e., RH = mv/mvsSpecific humidity is the ratio of mass of water vapour (mv) to the mass of dry air in thegiven volume of mixture.i.e., w = mv/ma

    7 Differentiate between absolute and relative humidity.Absolute humidity is defined as the ratio of mass of water vapour(mv)in a certain volume of moistair at a given temperature to the mass of water vapour(mvs)at atmospheric conditions.RH is the ratio of the mass of water vapour (mv) in a certain volume of moist air at agiven temperature to the mass of water vapour in the same volume of saturated air at thesame temperature.i.e,RH = mv/mvs

    8 Define dpt and degree of saturation.dpt is the temperature to which moist air to be cooled before it starts condensing.Degree of saturation is the ratio of specific humidity of moist air to the specific humidity ofsaturated air temperature.

    specific humidity of moist airu= --------------------------------

    s ecific humidit of saturated air

    9 What is dew point temperature? How is it related to dry bulb temperature at the saturetioncondition?It is the temperature at which the water vapour present in air begins to condense when the air isboiled.for saturated air the dr bulb wet bulb and dew oint tem erature are all same.

    10 Define Daltons law of partial pressure.The total pressure exerted by air and water vapour mixture is equal to the barometric pressure.ph = pa+pvWhere, ph = barometric pressure

    pa = partial pressure of dry airpv = partial pressure of water vapour

    11 Define apparatus dew point of cooling oil.For dehumidification, the cooling coil is to be kept at a mean temperature which is below the dewpoint temperature of the entering. The temperature of the coil is called adp temperature.

    13 Define bypass factor of a coil.The ratio of amount of air which does not contact the cooling coil to the amount of supply air iscalled Bpf.i.e. amount of air bypassing the coilBpf = ------------------------------------

    total amount of air passed

    14 State the effects of very high and very low bypass factor.very high bypass factor:1. It requires more air. Larger fan and motor required.2. It requires less heat transfer area.Very low bypass factor:1. Higher adp is employed.2. It re uires less air. Fan and motor size reduced

    15 What are the assumptions made while mixing two air streams?1.surrounding is small2.process is fully adiabatic3.there is no interactions4. Change in potential or kinetic energies are negligible.

    16 What is evaporative cooling? Will it works in humid climates?

    in this type of cooling the air is passed through an insulated chamber. The insulating chamber hassprays in which water is maintained at a temperature of entering air but lower than its drybulb temperature.it can be used in humid climates.

    17 Define specific humidity how does it differ from relative humidity.Specific humidity is the ratio of mass of water vapour (mv) to the mass of dry air in thegiven volume of mixture.I.e., w = mv/maSpecific humidity has straight lines where relative humidity has curved lines.

    18 What is adiabatic mixing and write the equation for that?It is a mixture of conditioned air with the fresh air before it is routed into the living space.m1/m2 = h3-h2/h1-h3

    19 What is specif ic humidity and how do you calculate it?Specific humidity is the ratio of mass of water vapour(mv)to the mass of dry air in the given volumeof mixture.i.e., w = mv/ma

    20 What is meant by adiabatic saturation temperature?The equilibrium temperature is called adiabatic saturation temperature.
