    Air Mixing Water
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the amount of water leaving an air stream when mixing with the atmosphere, specifically focusing on the formation of fog and droplets. The equation provided, Qwater = Qdry.air.C * (xA - xC), raises questions about the appropriate points for measurement, suggesting that points where relative humidity (RH) equals 100% might be more relevant. Participants recommend utilizing a psychrometric chart to model the processes involved in condensation and fog formation. The cooling processes A-B and A-C are compared to determine if they yield the same amount of condensation. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of accurate modeling in understanding moisture dynamics in air streams.

I have a situation like this:

Airpsychrometricschangingconditionsfog.gif


Where C is a air stream from a pipe, and A is the sky. Droplet will be made, and there will be fog.

Now I have to calculate the amount of water leaving the air.

In my book I found this equation:

Qwater = Qdry.air.C * (xA - xC)

But do it have to be point C and A? Why not the two points where RH=100% ?

And how do I know how much water that there will be in the air as fog, and how much will raining down?

Thanks for the reply.

Here is the cooling processes into the diagram, A-B and A-C. If you look at the two processes, will they produce the same amount of condense?

I made a pdf of the diagram, with more details on it.

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
