AI Thread Summary
When 90°F air at 80% relative humidity is cooled to 40°F, approximately 0.02192 ounces of condensate water is released per cubic foot. This calculation is based on the difference in water content between the two temperatures, using specific charts for reference. The method involves subtracting the water content of 40°F air at 100% RH from that of 90°F air at 80% RH. The accuracy of this figure is currently being verified. Understanding the principles of humidity and temperature changes is crucial for similar calculations.

Per cubic foot of hot 90F humid 80%RH air, how much water is released when that air temp is dropped to 40F?

Thank you for any comments.

What have you tried so far? What equations apply to this type of problem? Is this for schoolwork?

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
