Moist air at 27°C, 1 atm, and 50% relative humidity enters an evaporative cooling unit operating at steady state consisting of a heating section followed by a soaked pad evaporative cooler operating adiabatically. The air passing through the heating section is heated to 45°C. Next, air passing through a soaked pad exiting with 50% relative humidity. Using data from psychrometric chart. Determine

a. The humidity ratio of the entering moist air mixture, in kg(vapor) per kg(dry air).
b. The rate of heat transfer to the moist air passing through the heating section, in kj per kg of mixture.
c. The humidity ratio and temperature, in deg C at the exit of the evaporative cooling section.

Aheat pump with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep a space at 25°c by absorbing heat from geothermal water that enters the evaporator at 500c at a rate of 0.065 kg/s and leaves at 40°c. the refrigerant enters the evaporator at 20°c with a quality of 23 percent and leaves at the inlet pressure as saturated vapor. the refrigerant loses 300 w of heat to the surroundings as it flows through the compressor and the refrigerant leaves the compressor at 1.4 mpa at the same entropy as the inlet. determine: (a) the degrees of subcooling of the refrigerant in the condenser, b)-the mass flow rate of the refrigerant . (c) the heating load and the cop of the pump, and d)-the theoretical minimum power input to the compressor for the same heating load.
