When fermentation units are operated with high aeration rates, significant amounts of water can be evaporated into the air passing through the fermentation broth. Since fermentation can be adversely affected if water loss is significant, the air is humidified before being fed to the fermenter. Sterilized ambient air is combined with steam to form a saturated air–water mixture at 1 atm and 90°C. The mixture is cooled to the temperature of the fermenter (35°C), condensing some of the water, and the saturated air is fed to the bottom of the fermenter. For an air flow rate to the fermenter of 10 L/min at 35°C and 1 atm, estimate the rate at which steam must be added to the sterilized air and the rate (kg/min) at which condensate is collected upon cooling the air–steam mixture.

Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.2-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kpa (gage) in the tank. if the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second.
