from which h, = 16:350 and W, = 0.002657. The eDthalpy.ofThe final mixture may also be expressed by Equation 28:
h% = hh + /jhu
Since /i by definition ia Wz/lf's, Equation 28 may be rewritten 16.350 = K + (0.002657/W*) X
At 56 F the right side of the equation is 16.332, and at 57 F it is 16.582. Interpola tion gives as the final dry-bulb temperature of the mixture'56.07 F. At this tem perature the humidity ratio at saturation is 0.00960 lb of water vapor per lb of dry
air. Therefore, the final degree of saturation is
r = 0.002657/0.00960 = 0.277

Scaling the distances on the chart, the required solution to Example 5 is 56 F dry-bulb temperature and 0.28 degree of saturation.
Addition of Moisture to an Adiabatic Stream
Consider a stream of moist air flowing adiabatic&lly between two sections, 1 and
2, as in Fig. 12, with moisture addition at the rate

Solution a: From the data of Table 2. The solution of Equation 35 for hi yields

Hence,

= 0.01877 lb per lb of dry air. The solution of Equation 35 is
