Heating and humidifying: Example 7
Two and a half cubic meters of lumber is being driedat 60°C dry bulb temperature and 52°C wet bulbtemperature. The drying rate of the lumber is 12.5kg of water per hour. If outside air is at 27°Cdry bulb temperature and 80% relative humidity,how much outside air is needed per minute to carryaway the evaporated moisture?

Adiabatic or Evaporative Cooling
a psychrometric process that involves the cooling of air without heat loss or gain. Sensible heat lost by the air is converted to latent heat in the added water vapor

Evaporative cooling: Example 10
Referring to Figure 21, air at state point 1 (65°Cdry bulb temperature and 57°C wet bulb temperature)experiences a temperature drop of 3°C as it passesthrough the 1.2-m wide stack of lumber. Determinethe properties of the air at state point 2 and comparethem with those at state point 1. If the air is flowingat a rate of 2 meters per second, determine the dryingrate assuming that the volume of the stack of2.5-cm-thick lumber is 2.5 m3. The stack is1.2 m wide x 3.6 m long, and the boards areseparated by stickers 3.8 cm wide x 1.9 cm thick that arespaced 0.6 m apart.
