+//(12.13) Air at 38C and 10% relative humidity enters an evaporative cooler with a volumetric flow rate of 140 m3/min. Moist air exits the cooler at 21C. Water is added to the soaked pad of the cooler as a liquid at 21C and evaporates fully into the moist air. There is no heat transfer with the surroundings and the pressure is constant throughout at 1 atm. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of the water to the soaked pad, in lb/h, and (b) the relative humidity of the moist air at the exit to the evaporative cooler.
