Question: An air conditioner is designed to bring 10.000 ft 3 /min of outside air (90F. 29.8 in Hg, 88% relative humidity) to 40F, thereby condensing

An air conditioner is designed to bring 10.000 ft3/min of outside air (90°F. 29.8 in Hg, 88% relative humidity) to 40°F, thereby condensing a portion of the water vapor, and then to reheat the air, releasing it into a room at 65°F. Calculate the rate of condensation (gallons H2O/min) and the volumetric flow rate of the air delivered to the room. (Suggestion: On the flowchart, treat the cooling—condensation and the reheating as separate process steps.)
