Basic Properties:
4. Percent Relative Humidity (%RH or Ψ): PA/PS x 100
5. Percent Humidity (%H or S): Y/YS x 100
6. Dew Point (tD): the temperature attained by the gas if it is made
saturated at constant humidity (Y = YS)
7. Humid Heat (CS) = the specific heat of the moist air per weight
of dry gas. CS = CPB + Y CPA
For Air, assume CPB = 1.005 kJ/kg-K
For water vapor, assume CPA= 1.884 kJ/kg-K
Use of CS: Sensible Heat Rate = w CS t, where w = dry gas rate
CS = 1.005 + 1.884Y or 1 + 1.9 Y

Basic Properties:
8. Humid volume (VH): the specific volume of the mixture per
weight of dry gas
VH = R T [1/MB + Y/MA]/P
Volumetric rate (q) = w VH
Basic Properties:
10. Adiabatic saturation temperature (tas): the temperature attained
by a gas if it is made saturated by spraying with liquid under
adiabatic conditions
w CSm (t – tas) = w (Yas – Y) as
(Y – Yas)/ (t – tS) = - CSm/as
11. Wet bulb temperature (twb): the steady state temperature
attained by a small mass of liquid exposed in a continuous
stream of a gas under adiabatic conditions
ky (Ywb – Y) wb = h (t – twb)
(Y – Ywb)/ (t – tW) = - h/(ky wb)
