Try these first

1. 1.

   What does 'Comfort Air-Conditioning' refer to?

   Hint

   Focus on human comfort.

2. 2.

   What is dry bulb temperature?

   Hint

   Think of what a regular thermometer reads.

3. 3.

   What is the primary purpose of Industrial Air-Conditioning?

   • To maintain comfort for humans
   • To ensure optimal conditions for processes
   • To provide heating only

   Hint

   Think about the needs of industrial operations.

4. 4.

   True or False: Relative Humidity is not a critical factor in pharmaceutical air-conditioning.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the implications of moisture!

5. 5.

   If a pharmaceutical plant needs to maintain a relative humidity of 50% at a dry bulb temperature of 22°C, what is the dew point? Use a psychrometric chart to find the solution.

   Hint

   Trace the lines from DBT and find where they intersect!

6. 6.

   You need to determine the energy needed to cool 1000 kg of air from 30°C to 20°C with a humidity ratio of 0.01 kg/kg. How would you approach this calculation using enthalpy?

   Hint

   Consider how cooling affects the overall energy transfer!
