a) 25%
b) 50%
c) 75%
d) 100%
View answer
Explanation: 20 = 15 + 20*H, => H = 0.25 = 25%.

a) 50%
b) 100%
c) 150%
d) 200%
View answer
Explanation: 25 = 5 + 10*H, => H = 2, => H = 200%.
8. Enthalpy of air is 10 J and enthalpy of water vapor is 15 J, if the total enthalpy of the system is 25 J, what is the humidity of the system?
a) 20%
b) 50%
c) 100%
d) 180%
View answer
Explanation: 25 = 10 + 15*H, => H = 1, => H = 100%.
9. Enthalpy of air is 15 J and enthalpy of water vapor is 20 J, if the total enthalpy of the system is 25 J, what is the humidity of the system?
a) 10%
b) 50%
c) 100%
d) 200%
View answer
Explanation: 25 = 15 + 20*H, => H = 0.5, => H = 50%.
10. Enthalpy of air is 20 J and enthalpy of water vapor is 6 J, if the total enthalpy of the system is 23 J, what is the humidity of the system?
a) 10%
b) 20%
c) 40%
d) 50%
View answer
Explanation: 23 = 20 + 6*H, => H = 0.5, => H = 50%.
11. The humidity at dry-bulb temperature of 20oC is 40% and the humidity at dry-bulb temperature of 25oC is 25%, what is the slope of adiabatic cooling line?
a) 0.03
b) -0.03
c) 0.05
d) -0.05
View answer
Explanation: Slope of adiabatic cooling line = (0.4 – 0.25)/(20 – 25) = -0.03.
12. The humidity at dry-bulb temperature of 23oC is 30% and the humidity at dry-bulb temperature of 28oC is 25%, what is the slope of adiabatic cooling line?
a) -0.01
b) -0.02
c) -0.03
d) -0.05
View answer
Explanation: Slope of adiabatic cooling line = (0.3 – 0.25)/(23 – 28) = -0.01.
13. The humidity at dry-bulb temperature of 20oC is 30% and the humidity at dry-bulb temperature of 22oC is 24%, what is the slope of adiabatic cooling line?
a) -0.01
b) -0.02
c) -0.03
d) -0.05
View answer
Explanation: Slope of adiabatic cooling line = (0.3 – 0.24)/(20 – 22) = -0.03.
14. The humidity at dry-bulb temperature of 20oC is 10% and the humidity at dry-bulb temperature of 23oC is 4%, what is the slope of adiabatic cooling line?
a) -0.01
b) -0.02
c) -0.03
d) -0.05
View answer
Explanation: Slope of adiabatic cooling line = (0.1 – 0.04)/(20 – 23) = -0.02.
15. The humidity at dry-bulb temperature of 20oC is 12% and the humidity at dry-bulb temperature of 23oC is 3%, what is the slope of adiabatic cooling line?
