Air at 40°F and 50% relative humidity enters an air handling unit (AHU). The air is first heated to 100°F by a heating coll and then humidified by injecting 300 lbm/h of saturated steam at 250°F. The airflow rate entering the AHU is 5,000 CFM. What is the enthalpy of the supply air exiting the AHU (in BTU/bda)?
