Solution 6.4:
Dehumidification tower
Gs=4507.04 kg/m2.h TG1=85C Y1/ 0.065 H1/ 210 kJ / kg Given, TG1=85C; TW1=45C
Page 1 of 4
From psychrometric chart, Y1/ 0.065 kg moisture/kg dry air and H1/ 210 kJ/kg dry air. or, Y/=0.047 and
We have, inlet water temperature, TL2=25C Locate top point Q(TL2, H 2/ ) (lower terminal of operating line) at Q(25, 98) on TLH/ plane. The enthalpy of feed moist air at the bottom point P (upper terminal) of the dehumidification tower is 210 kJ/kg. But the temperature of the exit water is unknown.
Calculation of minimum water rate: The equilibrium line is convexed downward. The pinch point is obtained by drawing the horizontal line through H1/ 210 kJ/kg to meet equilibrium line at P/. Points Q and P/ are joined. Line QP/ is the operating line for minimum water flow rate. The water temperature at P/ is TL1,max=45C (TW1).

= 4507.04 kg/h.m2 Now, the minimum water rate Ls,min can be obtained from the following enthalpy balance equation:
/ Gs ( H1/ H 2 ) Ls ,min (TL1,max TL 2 )CwL
Actual water flow rate=1.4Gs,min=1.46028.05 kg/h.m2=8439.27 kg/h.m2 Outlet temperature of water TL1 is obtained from Equationas follows: 4507.04(210-98)=8439.27(TL1-25)4.187 TL1=39.29C Moisture removed from air=water condensed per hour
Gs(Y1/ Y2/ )
=4507.04(0.065-0.027) kg/h.m2. =171.27 kg/h.m2.
