Psychrometric Relations

DPT = 1.005 DBT + W (2501 + 1.88 DBT)
DPT = 4030 (DBT + 235) / (4030 - (DBT + 235)) * 100
W = 0.622 Pv / (P - 1.88(t - t'))
WBT is the temperature of air measured by a wet-bulb thermometer.
DBT is the temperature of air measured by a dry-bulb thermometer.
DPT is the temperature of air when moisture starts to condense.
These relations define the relationships between temperature, humidity, and pressure values.

Unit Conversions

MPa x 10³ = kPa
L = 10^-3 m³
m / hr = 1/3600 m/s
kW = 3.5 ton-ref

Saturation (Temperature) Table

Detailed table with columns for temperature, pressure, liquid density, vapor density, liquid enthalpy, etc.
The table provides various thermodynamic properties for saturated water at different temperatures and pressures.

Psychrometric Chart

Graph with labeled axes for DBT, WBT, and other parameters like enthalpy.
The chart shows the relationship between variables in psychrometric conditions.

Heat Transfer

Qs = ma * Cpm * ΔT
QL = ma * hfg ΔW*
where ma is the mass flow rate of the air, Cpm is the specific heat of air, ΔT is change in temperature, hfg is the latent heat of vaporization, and ΔW is the change in humidity ratio

Processes

Cooling: using a cooling coil at ADP > DPT
Heating: using a heating coil
Cooling and dehumidification: using a cooling coil at ADP < DPT
Steam humidification: DBT = Constant
Adiabatic humidification: h = constant & WBT = Constant with calculations based on chart values.

Problems
