A swamp cooler reduces the temperature of air through evaporative cooling.
Hot dry air at 310 K and 10% relative humidity passes through a swamp cooler. Water is added as the air passes through a series of wicks and the mixture exits at 300 K. This application calculates:
- the relative humidity of the air exiting the cooler,
- the mass of water added,
- and the lowest achievable temperature at the outlet,
and plots the process on a psychrometric chart.
