Full Description

This chapter addresses mass transfer principles and provides methods of solving a simultaneous heat and mass transfer problem involving air and water vapor, emphasizing air-conditioning processes. The formulations presented can help analyze performance of specific equipment. For discussion of performance of cooling coils, evaporative condensers, cooling towers, and air washers, see Chapters 23, 39, 40, and 41, respectively, of the 2016 ASHRAE Handbook--HVAC Systems and Equipment.
