Study Notes

Air Conditioning ME421 Midterm Revision

  • Contact information for instructor: Eng. Ahmed Alsankary, Mob. 98757791, Aqila - Dalal Mall - Floor 4, 98710208 - 91111937, www.Triple-A.org

Psychrometric Relations

  • DPT = 1.005 DBT + W (2501 + 1.88 DBT)
  • DPT = 4030 (DBT + 235) / (4030 - (DBT + 235)) * 100
  • W = 0.622 Pv / (P - 1.88(t - t'))
  • WBT is the temperature of air measured by a wet-bulb thermometer.
  • DBT is the temperature of air measured by a dry-bulb thermometer.
  • DPT is the temperature of air when moisture starts to condense.
  • These relations define the relationships between temperature, humidity, and pressure values.

Unit Conversions

  • MPa x 103 = kPa
  • L = 10-3 m3
  • m / hr = 1/3600 m/s
  • kW = 3.5 ton-ref

Saturation (Temperature) Table

  • Detailed table with columns for temperature, pressure, liquid density, vapor density, liquid enthalpy, etc.
  • The table provides various thermodynamic properties for saturated water at different temperatures and pressures.

Psychrometric Chart

  • Graph with labeled axes for DBT, WBT, and other parameters like enthalpy.
  • The chart shows the relationship between variables in psychrometric conditions.

Heat Transfer

  • Qs = ma * Cpm * ΔT
  • QL = ma * hfg ΔW*
  • where ma is the mass flow rate of the air, Cpm is the specific heat of air, ΔT is change in temperature, hfg is the latent heat of vaporization, and ΔW is the change in humidity ratio

Processes

  • Cooling: using a cooling coil at ADP > DPT
  • Heating: using a heating coil
  • Cooling and dehumidification: using a cooling coil at ADP < DPT
  • Steam humidification: DBT = Constant
  • Adiabatic humidification: h = constant & WBT = Constant with calculations based on chart values.

Problems

  • Specific problem statements followed by detailed solutions and calculations
  • Multiple problems covering various cooling and heating processes.
  • Calculations and data figures are part of the solution.

Other Concepts

  • Definitions for key terms and figures.
  • Equations to calculate various thermodynamic properties.
  • Calculations on the psychrometric charts
