We are assuming the water is saturated because the goal was to come up with a useful property under this condition, that being the adiabatic saturation temperature. Part of the definition of this property is that the water at the exit state is saturated. This property is useful, especially with the design and analysis of cooling towers. For example, if we know the entering conditions of the air coming into the cooling tower and can calculate the adiabatic saturation temperature (or closely related wet-bulb temperature), we know what the lowest temperature possible is at the exit of the cooling tower.
@@lakshminarayana5998 Correct - At saturation conditions, the dry bulb temperature, dew point temperature, and wet bulb temperature are all the same, and the relative humidity is 100%. Relative humidity is a percentage representing how close the conditions are to being saturated, so by definition, at saturation this value should be 100%.
AWESOME STUFF MAN THANKS
great work ...thank you
T2 is the adaibatic saturation temp ?
That is correct.
Why did you assume the water is saturated?

@@MitchellPaulus that's why you take Relative humidity as 100% for the exit stream?
