We will be concerned with the mixture of dry air and water vapor. This mixture is often called atmospheric air.
The temperature of the atmospheric air in air-conditioning applications ranges from about –10 to about 50oC. Under these conditions, we treat air as an ideal gas with constant specific heats. Taking Cpa = 1.005 kJ/kgK, the enthalpy of the dry air is given by (assuming the reference state to be 0oC where the reference enthalpy is taken to be 0 kJ/kga)
The assumption that the water vapor is an ideal gas is valid when the mixture temperature is below 50oC. This means that the saturation pressure of the water vapor in the air-vapor mixture is below 12.3 kPa. For these conditions, the enthalpy of the water vapor is approximated by hv(T) = hg at mixture temperature T. The following T-s diagram for water illustrates the ideal-gas behavior at low vapor pressures. See Figure A-9 for the actual T-s diagram.

The saturated vapor value of the enthalpy is a function of temperature and can be expressed as
Note: For the dry air-water vapor mixture, the partial pressure of the water vapor in the mixture is less that its saturation pressure at the temperature.

Consider increasing the total pressure of an air-water vapor mixture while the temperature of the mixture is held constant. See if you can sketch the process on the P-v diagram relative to the saturation lines for the water alone given below. Assume that the water vapor is initially superheated.
P
v
When the mixture pressure is increased while keeping the mixture temperature constant, the vapor partial pressure increases up to the vapor saturation pressure at the mixture temperature and condensation begins. Therefore, the partial pressure of the water vapor can never be greater than its saturation pressure corresponding to the temperature of the mixture.

Definitions
Dew Point, Tdp
The dew point is the temperature at which vapor condenses or solidifies when cooled at constant pressure.
Consider cooling an air-water vapor mixture while the mixture total pressure is held constant. When the mixture is cooled to a temperature equal to the saturation temperature for the water-vapor partial pressure, condensation begins.
When an atmospheric air-vapor mixture is cooled at constant pressure such that the partial pressure of the water vapor is 1.491 kPa, then the dew point temperature of that mixture is 12.95oC.

Steady-Flow Analysis Applied to Gas-Vapor Mixtures
We will review the conservation of mass and conservation of energy principles as they apply to gas-vapor mixtures in the following example.
Example 14-3
Given the inlet and exit conditions to an air conditioner shown below. What is the heat transfer to be removed per kg dry air flowing through the device? If the volume flow rate of the inlet atmospheric air is 17 m3/min, determine the required rate of heat transfer. Cooling fluid

Before we apply the steady-flow conservation of mass and energy, we need to decide if any water is condensed in the process. Is the mixture cooled below the dew point for state 1?

So for T2 = 20oC < Tdp, 1, some water-vapor will condense. Let's assume that the condensed water leaves the air conditioner at 20oC. Some say the water leaves at the average of 26 and 20oC; however, 20oC is adequate for our use here.

The Adiabatic Saturation Process Air having a relative humidity less than 100 percent flows over water contained in a well-insulated duct. Since the air has < 100 percent, some of the water will evaporate and the temperature of the air-vapor mixture will decrease.
21
If the mixture leaving the duct is saturated and if the process is adiabatic, the temperature of the mixture on leaving the device is known as the adiabatic saturation temperature.
For this to be a steady-flow process, makeup water at the adiabatic saturation temperature is added at the same rate at which water is evaporated.
We assume that the total pressure is constant during the process.

Wet-Bulb and Dry-Bulb Temperatures
In normal practice, the state of atmospheric air is specified by determining the wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperatures. These temperatures are measured by using a device called a psychrometer. The psychrometer is composed of two thermometers mounted on a sling. One thermometer is fitted with a wet gauze and reads the wet-bulb temperature. The other thermometer reads the dry-bulb, or ordinary, temperature. As the psychrometer is slung through the air, water vaporizes from the wet gauze, resulting in a lower temperature to be registered by the thermometer. The dryer the atmospheric air, the lower the wet-bulb temperature will be. When the relative humidity of the air is near 100 percent, there will be little difference between the wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperatures. The wet-bulb temperature is approximately equal to the adiabatic saturation temperature. The wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperatures and the atmospheric pressure uniquely determine the state of the atmospheric air.
28
The Psychrometric Chart
For a given, fixed, total air-vapor pressure, the properties of the mixture are given in graphical form on a psychrometric chart.
