The air conditions at the intake of an air compressor are 33 C, 50 percent relative humidity, and 101 kPa. The air is compressed to 400 kPa, then sent to an intercooler. If condensation of water vapor from the compressed air is to be prevented, what is the minimum temperature (tdp) to which the air can be cooled in the intercooler?

Question

The air conditions at the intake of an air compressor are 33 C, 50 percent relative
humidity, and 101 kPa. The air is compressed to 400 kPa, then sent to an
intercooler. If condensation of water vapor from the compressed air is to be
prevented, what is the minimum temperature (tdp) to which the air can be cooled in
the intercooler?
