Enthalpy of a vapor gas mixture may be increased by increasing the________________?
Correct answer: D. All A., B. & C.
- A. Temperature at constant humidity
- B. Humidity at constant temperature
- C. Temperature and the humidity
- D. All A., B. & C.
Explanation
Humid-gas enthalpy contains both the sensible enthalpy of the gas, which rises with temperature, and the water-vapour contribution, which rises with humidity. Increasing either or both therefore increases the mixture enthalpy.
