• WHY?

• Where does the water come from?

• Can we describe this phenomenon?

• Why is it important in Engineering?

 – Air-conditioning (control temperature,

humidity etc… to make humanscomfortable)

 – Drying of objects

 – Condensate might be an unintended by-

product at heat exchangers etc…• We will be considering a basic introduction into

Gas Mixtures and Psychrometry which will

help to address such issues.

13.0. Introduction

Diesel-kringloop 

What happens when an ice-cold glass of water is left for a while in a

warmer room?

• Water-vapour will

condense

• Atmospheric air is not dry and contains water vapour:

 – Dry Air:

• 78.1% per volume Nitrogen

• 20.9% per volume Oxygen• 0.9% per volume Argon

• Other gasses: Neon, Helium, Methane, Sulphur Dioxide,

Hydrogen (all in small quantities)

 – Moist Air:

• Water content varies from 0% (dry air) to a maximum

depending on temperature and pressure.

• Partial Pressure = is the pressure which a gas (in a mixture of 

gases) would have if it alone occupied the volume.

• Consider a simplification of the problem involving

a mixture of ideal gasses which are in contact with

the liquid or solid phase of one of the mixture

components.

• Assumption needed:

 – The solid or liquid contains no dissolved gasses.

 – Gaseous phase is treated as a mixture of ideal

gasses.

 – The liquid-solid-vapour equilibrium of one

component is not influenced by the presence

any other component in the mixture.

• Dew point: The temperature at which condensation begins when air is

cooled at constant pressure.

• 1→ 2 : Const. Pressure

• 1→ 3 : Const. Volume (Condensation starts at lower temperature) – At the condensation point this is called a saturation mixture

(saturated air)

vapour in moist air to the mole fraction of water vapour in saturated air 

for a given temperature and total pressure. (sum of partial pressures)

13.4 Adiabatic Saturation Process.Adiabatiese Saturasie Proses 

• How do we measure partial pressure of water vapour to

determine ω [kg/kg] and Φ [%]?

• There is another route to follow (later), but first we need

to define the Adiabatic saturation process:

• Consider an air-vapour mixture in

contact with liquid water.

• Duct insulated.

• If humidity is less than 100% at inlet,

water will evaporate into the airstream.

• Due to evaporation, air and water temp

will decrease.

• If exit air is saturated (ie 100%

humidity) the exit temp = adiabatic

saturated temperature.

• For steady state, water is to be

added.

13.5 Engineering Applications

• The adiabatic saturation process is

not practical to determine the

absolute and relative humidity of air.

• A more practical approach is to use a

thermometer whose bulb is coveredwith a cotton wick saturated with

water and to blow air over the wick.

Ingenieurswese-toepassings 

• The temperature measured is the wet-bulb temperature T wb and it is

commonly used in air conditioning (A-C) applications.

• For air–water vapor mixtures at atmospheric pressure, T wb isapproximately equal to the adiabatic saturation temperature.

(Thermodynamic Wet-Bulb Temperature).

Air Conditioning Processes

•Maintaining a space at the desired temperature and humidity requires

some processes called air-conditioning processes:

•simple heating (raising the temperature),•simple cooling (lowering the temperature),

•humidifying (adding moisture),

•dehumidifying (removing moisture).

•In winter: Air is normally heated and humidified.•In Summer: Air is normally cooled and de-humidified.

• Heating systems such as a stove, a heat pump,

or an electric resistance heater.

• Air circulating over a tube containing hot gas or over electric resistance wires to heat it.

• Similar for cooling – air circulated over a coil

carrying evaporating refrigerant or chilled water.

• No moisture added or removed ie: ω = const.

• During simple heating, relative humidity (Φ)

decreases (moving away from saturation line on

the Psycro Chart).

• During simple cooling, relative humidity (Φ)

increases (moving closer to saturation line on

• Power plants, large air-conditioning

large quantities of waste heat that is often

• Thus, waste heat must be rejected to the atmosphere

• Recirculating cooling water serve as a transport medium for heat

transfer between the source and the sink (the atmosphere).• Can be done via a wet cooling tower.

Engineering Applications

Water verlaat die kondensator van ‘n kragstasie teen ‘n vloeitempo van

4.5 x 107 kg/h en 38ºC. Die water word deur ‘n koeltoring verkoel viaverdamping. Water teen 20ºC word toegevoeg in die koeltoring sodat

‘n gekombineerde waterstroom teen 30ºC en dieselfde tempo

terugvloei na die kondensator. Atmosferiese lug teen 100kPa gaan die

koeltoring in teen 25ºC DB en 30% relatiewe humiditeit. Vogtige lugverlaat die toring teen 30ºC DB en 90% relatiewe humiditeit.

Bepaal:

• Massavloei tempo van die lug.

• Massavloei tempo van die water toegevoeg.

Ignoreer hitte-oordrag aan die omgewing, pomp-drywing, kinetiese energie

verandering en potensiele energie verandering.
