Psychrometry topics include: Psychrometric terms and relations, psychrometric chart, thermodynamic wet bulb temperature, bypass factor, heating and cooling factor, partial pressure daltons law, two streams adiabatic mixing, humidification and dehumidification. Psychrometry is the study of the properties of moist air and gas-vapor mixtures. It's useful to engineers who work on heating, cooling, and ventilating buildings. Some psychrometric properties that are relevant for determining climatic conditions include: Dry-bulb temperature Wet-bulb temperature Saturated vapor pressure Vapor...

Psychrometry is the study of the properties of moist air and gas-vapor mixtures. It's useful to engineers who work on heating, cooling, and ventilating buildings. Some psychrometric properties that are relevant for determining climatic conditions include: Dry-bulb temperature Wet-bulb temperature Saturated vapor pressure Vapor pressure Relative humidity Specific humidity Mixing ratio Dew point temperature Psychrometry also includes the following terms: Enthalpy: The total amount of heat energy of the wet air on a specific condition. It's made up of a portion of the dry air energy and a portion of the water vapor energy. Degree of saturation: The ratio of actual mass of water vapor in a unit mass of dry air to the mass of water vapor in the same mass of dry air when it is saturated at the same temperature. Dehumidification: The process of removing moisture from the air. This is achieved by cooling the air below its dew point temperature. Humidification: The process of improving moisture content in the air, increasing the RH level. Show less
