Click For Summary
To raise the temperature of 3.5 m³/s of moist air from 10°C to 27°C, specific calculations involving heat transfer and properties of moist air are necessary. The required heat can be determined using the specific heat capacity of air and the moisture content at the initial conditions. After heating, the new relative humidity must be calculated based on the increased temperature and the moisture content. Additionally, the power required for the heating unit can be derived from the total heat added over time. For further assistance, it's recommended to repost in the homework help forum with an attempt at the solution.

Can anyone help me with this?

-How much heat must be added to 3.5 m3 /s of moist air with a dry bulb temperature of 10°C and a relative humidity of 60% to raise the temperature of the air by 17°C?

• What will be the relative humidity of the air once this heat is added?

• What is the power required in the heating unit?

Plotted is the Irradiance over Wavelength. Please check for logarithmic scaling. As you can see, there are 4 curves. Blue AM 0 as measured yellow Planck for 5777 K green Planck for, 5777 K after free space expansion red Planck for 1.000.000 K To me the idea of a gamma-Ray-source on earth, below the magnetic field, which protects life on earth from solar radiation, in an intensity, which is way way way outer hand, makes no sense to me. If they really get these high temperatures realized in...
