Air at a dry bulb temperature of 100°C and 4% relative humidity is passed over cooling coils to cool it to a wet bulb temperature of 35°C. Draw the process on the attached Psychrometric chart and calculate how much heat is removed per cubic meter of initial air in the process? What is the dry bulb temperature and relative humidity of the cooled air?

Humid air at $101.3 \mathrm{kPa}, 36^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ dry bulb and 65 percent relative humidity is cooled at constant pressure to a temperature $10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ below its dew-point temperature. Sketch the psychrometric diagram for the process and determine the heat transfer from the air, in $\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg}$ dry air.
A room contains air at $1 \mathrm{atm}, 82^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$, and 70 percent relative humidity. Using the psychrometric chart, determine $(a)$ the specific humidity, $(b)$ the enthalpy (in $\mathrm{Btu} / \mathrm{lbm}$ dry air) $(c)$ the wet-bulb temperature, $(d)$ the dew-point temperature, and $(e)$ the specific volume of the air (in $\mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{lbm}$ dry air).
