In a psychrometric process, the sensible heat added is 30 kJ/s and the latent heat added is 20 kJ/s. The sensible heat factor for the process will be

A. 0.3

B. 0.6

C. 0.67

D. 1.5

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Sensible heat factor (s.h.f.) is the ratio of sensible heat to the total heat.
So,
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{s}}{\text{.h}}{\text{.f}}{\text{.}} = \frac{{30}}{{30 + 20}} \cr & = \frac{{30}}{{50}} \cr & = 0.6 \cr} $$
