Happy Friday! Here's a fresh practice problem.
The sketch shows a packaged unit dedicated to conditioning the air in a natatorium (an indoor swimming pool room). The unit uses a silica gel desiccant dehumidification wheel. The unit's heating coil provides the reactivation energy for the desiccant dehumidification process. The unit's cooling coil cools and dehumidifies the air prior to entering the desiccant wheel. The accompanying table provides the known information for the summer design condition.
Assume all the moisture removed by the wheel from the air at state 2 is transferred to the air exhausted to the atmosphere. Under the conditions described above, the dew point temperature (°F) at state 6 is most nearly:
(A) 51
(B) 67
(C) 72
(D) 75
