Understanding Humidity Control for Acoustic Guitars in Winter Conditions

Dr. Dickey is advised to store his acoustic guitar in a humidified case during winter months. This practice helps maintain optimal humidity levels, preventing the wood from drying out and cracking. We will analyze the differences in humidity and temperature effects on air processed by heaters and air conditioners using a psychrometric chart. Additionally, concepts like how a humidifier acts as a sponge, the mechanics of defrosters, bathroom mirror defogging, and skin temperature post-swimming will be explored to deepen understanding of humidity's role in our environment.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Dr. Dickey has a nice acoustic guitar and he is told to store it in a case with a humidifier during winter. • a) Show on the psychrometric chart what happens to outside air processed by an air conditioner versus that processed by a heater to explain why he only needs to do this in the winter. (Remember problem 8.74). • b) The humidifier is effectively a wet sponge. What does this do inside the case? Short Answer Practice: Chapter 8

  2. How does your car’s defroster work? • What’s the best way to defog your bathroom mirror? • When you get out of the pool, what is your skin temperature equal to? Short Answer Practice: Chapter 8

  3. Short Answer Practice: • Why do you feel warm when you step into a shower and cold when you step out, even if the room temperature is the same? Chapter 8

  4. Short Answer Practice Estimate the constant pressure heat capacity of liquid n-decane (C10H22) in J/(mol C). Note that it is not in any tables. Chapter 8

  5. Short Answer Practice Why does your mirror get “foggy” when you take a hot shower? Chapter 8
