Why is enthalpy significant in HVAC systems?
Why is enthalpy significant in HVAC systems?
- It indicates the total weight of moisture in a given volume of air.
- It determines the speed at which air is circulated in a system.
- It measures the internal energy changes related to heating and cooling processes. (correct)
