Calculating refrigerating capacity


Assignment:

In an air-conditioning unit 3.5 m^3/s of air at 27 degrees Celsius dry-bulb temperature, 50% relative humidity and standard atmospheric pressure enters the unit. The leaving condition of the air is 13 degrees Celsius dry-bulb temperature and 90 percent relative humidity. Using properties from the psychrometric chart:

a. Calculate the refrigerating capacity in kilowatts
b. Determine the rate of water removal from the air
c. Determine the mass of water vapor in 400 m^3 of air at 52 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity of 20% when the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa and 85 kPa respectively.

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
