When the temperature of air or gas varies, horsepower and pressure vaiy inversely as the absolute temperature, speed and capacity being constant. See Fig. 10-72. 

Studies by Nelson and Stewart,Bromley, - and Gunes " provide experimental data on air velocities and temperature distribution for this method of air supply at different room configurations, locations of air supply outlets, and velocities and temperatures of air supply. 

The temperature of air supplied by the air curtain should not exceed 70 °C in case the technological process does not require any other temperature. The thermal capacity of the air curtain is determined according to the equation... 

Solution The first step is choosing a reference point. At the point 1 m right below the panel, the radiant temperature is 29 °C, and if we assurte that the temperature of air is 20 °C, then Tf, = 49 °C. 

The dewpoint hygrometer detects the dewpoint temperature of air by cooling a surface in contact with the air to the dewpoint temperature. There are several ways to achieve cooling and to observe the formation of condensate on the surface. The early dewpoint hygirometers were cooled simply by applying the vaporization of ether or some other suitable liquid. Condensate formation on the surface was determined visually. Other cooling methods are to use a refrigerant flow in direct or indirect contact with the back of the surface, or to use electricity with a (thermoelectric) Peltier element. 

Note for use Locate "cold water-cooling range point and connect to seiected wet buib temperature of air. (Line 1.) Then, through LVGa draw iine paraliel to iocate vaiue of KaV/L. (Line 2). The graph may be used in reverse to examine changing conditions on a given tower. 

The temperature of air as indicated by a dry sensing element such as a mercury-in-glass thermometer. 

The temperature of air as indicated by a thermometer when a water-wet wick encloses its bulb. If the surrounding air is not saturated water will evaporate, taking the latent necessary latent heat from the thermometer bulb which then gives a lower reading than a dry bulb in the same air. The depression in wet bulb temperature is proportional to the amount of moisture in the air.

A hot-air balloon will rise when the density of its air is 15% lower than that of the atmospheric air. Calculate the density of air at 295 K, 1.0 atm (assume that dry air is 78% N2 and 22% O2 ) and determine the minimum temperature of air that will cause a balloon to rise. 

Determine the minimum compression ratio required to raise the temperature of air over hexane to its AIT. Assume an initial temperature of 100°C.

An ideal Brayton refrigeration system uses air as a refrigerant. The pressure and temperature of air at compressor inlet are 14.7 psia and 100°F. The pressure and temperature of air at the turbine inlet are 60 psia and 260°F. The mass rate of air flow is 0.031bm/sec. Determine (a) the cooling load, (b) the compressor power required, (c) the turbine power produced, and (d) the cycle COP. 

The pressure in Denver is about three-fourths of that at sea level. While changes in elevation have pronounced effects on atmospheric pressure, temperature and moisture also affect atmospheric pressure. Changes in the moisture and temperature of air masses produce high and low pressure systems that move across the continent dictating our weather. Pressure increases underwater because the water pressure adds to the atmospheric pressure. Ten meters (33 feet) of water is equivalent to 1 atmosphere of pressure.
