Summary of Equations for Psychrometry

For computing the properties of moist air assuming that air and water vapor
are perfect gases we have:
superscript ? denotes saturated values, hf is the enthalpy of liquid
water, both evaluated at the thermodynamic wet bulb temperature, T ? ,
subscript s denotes saturated values, subscript a denotes values
evaluated at T(db) where T(db) is in F or C

h = (0.240 + 0.444W )Ta + 1061W (Btu/lbm dry air)

v = 0.3704(Ta + 459.67)(1 + 1.6078W )/P (cu.ft/lbm dry air)

(1h)

h(liq water) = 1(T 32) (Btu/lbm water)

(1i)

h = (1.006 + 1.86W )Ta + 2501W (kJ/kg dry air)

(1j)

v = 0.2871(Ta + 273.15)(1 + 1.6078W )/P (cu.m/kg dry air)

h(liq water) = 4.19(T 0) (kJ/kg water)
