116 Programming for Chemical Engineers
In this section, the solution for a material balance problem involving
condensation will be discussed. In Chapter 3, we developed a computer
program for absolute humidity in relation to the temperature (dry bulb); we also
determined the dew point with respect to relative humidity. Now we are going
to use the program to solve the following problem.
Example Problem 4.2. Initially the air in a cold storage room has a temperature
of 28
o
C and a relative humidity of 73%. As the day progresses, air inside the
storage room has reduced its temperature to 16
o
C with a relative humidity of
55%. ...
