One means of air-conditioning hot summer air is by evaporative cooling, which is a process similar to the adiabatic saturation process. Consider outdoor ambient air at 35°C, 100 kPa, 30% relative humidity. What is the maximum amount of cooling that can be achieved by such a technique? What disadvantage is there to this approach? Solve the problem using a first law analysis and repeat it using the psychrometric chart, Fig. E.4.
