Psychrometry & Moist Air Thermodynamics

Subtopic: Sensible heating process on psychrometric chart

Question Statement:

Referring to the psychrometric process, air with humidity ratio $\omega = 0.012\text{ kg/kg dry air}$ is heated. Using the formula $c_s = 1.005 + 1.88 \omega$, calculate the humid specific heat $c_s$ in $\text{kJ/(kg}\cdot\text{K)}$ (round off to three decimal places).

Answer Key:

1.028

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$c_s = 1.005 + 1.88 \times 0.012 = 1.005 + 0.02256 = 1.02756 \approx 1.028\text{ kJ/(kg}\cdot\text{K)}$.
