Objectives • Learn more about Psychrometrics • Describe equations for psychometric processes • Plot processes on psychrometric chart • Use protractor to calculate SHR
Alternate calculation for W • PV = mRT (IGL) • What do we know about R ratio? • P = Pw + Pa R = gas constant P = pressure V = volume T = absolute temperature W = humidity ratio Subscripts: w is water vapor, a is dry air
Calculation of psychometric quantities • For an ideal gas, • hda = ∫cpadT, hw = ∫cpwdT • So, hda = cp,dat which assumes a reference state of 0 °F or 0 °C – Tables A4 • Note different reference • hw = cpwt + hg0 • h = cp,dat + W(cpwt + hg0) Or you can use: • h = cpt + W∙hg0, cp = cp,da + Wcpw cp = specific heat h = enthalpy T = absolute temperature t = temperature W = humidity ratio Subscripts: w is water vapor, a is dry air, g is saturated water vapor
Adiabatic mixing • Governing equation External heat
Fog formation above rivers Solution is in Psychometric chart
Humidification hw Specific enthalpy of water added to system hg Specific enthalpy of saturated water vapor
