Study Notes
Temperature Ranges and Charts
- Charts for very high temperatures span from 100 to 200°C, with additional charts covering 200 to 320°C for various pressures.
- Pressure options for charts include 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 MPa, alongside standard pressures used in initial charts.
- Charts were developed by Nelson and Sauer (2002) and can be accessed with Gatley’s work (2013).
Calculating Saturation Pressure and Properties
- Saturation pressure at dew-point temperature can be obtained using Table 3 or specific equations.
- Saturation pressure for any dry-bulb temperature can similarly be determined.
- Humidity ratio (Ws), relative humidity (ϕ), specific volume (v), and enthalpy (h) can all be calculated through designated equations.
- Equation parameters require values from saturation pressures obtained for respective temperatures.
Altitude Adjustments
- Various charts have been constructed for specific altitude conditions, altering pressure values accordingly.
- Chart specifications include sea-level pressure (101.325 kPa) and heights of 750 m (92.634 kPa), 1500 m (84.54 kPa), and 2250 m (77.058 kPa).
Thermodynamic Wet-Bulb Temperature
- Thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature is defined as the temperature at which water evaporating into moist air brings the air to saturation.
- This temperature remains constant while total pressure is maintained during the adiabatic process.
Humidity Parameters and Definitions
- Humidity ratio (W) quantifies the mass of water vapor relative to dry air mass, with the relation defined by molecular weight ratios.
- Specific humidity (γ) measures the mass of water vapor relative to the total mass of moist air, with two equivalent formulas provided.
- Absolute humidity (dv) denotes the mass of water vapor within total volume, while density (ρ) reflects the total mass of moist air mixture relative to volume.
Perfect Gas Relationships
- The behavior of dry air and water vapor adheres to the perfect gas equation, allowing calculations of individual gas dynamics within moist air mixtures.
- Total pressure in the moist air mixture is the sum of partial pressures of dry air and water vapor, influencing the general gas equation.
- The universal gas constant is provided for calculations, assisting with temperature effects and pressure relationship interpretations.
