The dryer consists of an air heater and a drying chamber. To save energy in air heating, part of the exhaust air is recycled, mixed with fresh air, and the resulting mixture is heated before feeding to the chamber. 30,000 m³ of fresh air per hour at 30°C dry bulb temperature and 65% RH are used. This is mixed with the recycled air and heated to 100°C dry bulb temperature and 42°C wet bulb temperature. The exhaust air is at 60°C. Calculate: a) the molal and absolute humidity of the exhaust air b) the fraction of the exhaust air that is recycled
