Pick the right combination of True Statements.
1. As the by-pass factor (BPF) of the cooling coil increases, temperature difference
between air at the outlet of the coil and coil ADP decreases.
2. As the by-pass factor (BPF) of the cooling coil increases, temperature difference
between air at the outlet of the coil and coil ADP increases.
3. During cooling and humidification process, the enthalpy of air may increase, decrease
or remain constant depending upon the temperature of the wet surface.
4. During sensible cooling of air, dry bulb temperature decreases but wet bulb
temperature remains constant
5. The sensible heat factor for a sensible heating process is 1.0
Recirculated air from the indoor space is 7,500 cfm (75 degrees F dry bulb, 50% RH). Ventilation air from outdoors is 2,500 cfm (95 degrees F dry bulb, 76 degrees F wet bulb). Leaving air off the cooling coil is 10,000 cfm (55 degrees F dry bulb, 90% RH). What is the wet bulb temperature of the indoor air that is being recirculated?
