Estimate of Water Supply and Heat Input Rate for an Engine Test

Estimate of Water Supply and Heat Input Rate for an Engine Test

Estimate of Water Supply and Heat Input Rate for an Engine Test

(OP)
Our company has a system as follows:

(1) A normally aspirated diesel engine displacing 92 liters with a maximum speed of 1800 rpm requires combustion air supplied at 25 deg. C and 70% relative humidity.
(2) This system requires (a) an air handling unit capable of supplying at least enough air flow for the engine, (b) a steam generator capable of supplying enough water to meet the humidity conditions and (c) an electric heating unit to meet the temperature requirements.
(3) Ambient conditions: (a) Ambient temperature = 10 deg C., (b) Dew point = 5 deg C.

We need to estimate (a) the required water supply rate of the steam generator, and (b) the heat input rate of the heating unit and the steam generator.
