(d) The plant is designed such that the inlet air stream used in the heat exchanger is the outlet stream from an adiabatic saturator. The cooling air is first cooled to 50C in an adiabatic saturator (despite its name, the air exiting an adiabatic saturator need not be saturated). The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) recommends that workers may work in environments where they may be exposed to humidity in the range of 20%-60%(minimum and maximum limits). If you were to strictly follow OSHA guidelines, what is the maximum allowable temperature of the inlet sir stream to the adiabatic saturator (i.e., the entering air's humidity is at least 20%)? If you were to strictly follow OSHA guidelines, what is the minimum allowable temperature of the inlet sir stream to the adiabatic saturator (i.e., the entering air's humidity is at 60%?
(e) You are asked to design a similar system for a plant located in the country of Sokovia, The Sokgvian Occupational Health and Safety Administration (SOSHA) does not regulate workplace humidity. What is the maximum temperature of the inlet sir stream to the adiabatic saturator based on constraints of physics (i.e., you cannot have negative humidity)?
(f) List one of the potential health consequences to plant workers because of the difference in regulatory frameworks in the USA and Sokgvia in this case. What could be a related economic and social consequence to Sokgvian society as a whole? Can you suggest a way to improve the safety culture of Sokgvia?
