Cocktailmetrics aka Psychrometrics Prof. Koldenhott's FUNdamentals of Cocktailmetrics
In the early 1900’s, there was a young engineer Working For Buffalo Forge Company that received a 'flash of genius' while waiting for a train. It was a foggy night and he was going over in his mind the problem of temperature and humidity control. By the time the train arrived, Carrier had an understanding of the relationship between temperature, humidity and dew point. That young engineer was… …Willis H. Carrier from The Father of Cool Willis Haviland Carrier: The History of Air Conditioning by Mary Bellis on www.about.com Prof. Koldenhott's FUNdamentals of Cocktailmetrics
What Mr. Carrier’s 'flash of genius' that day came to be known as Psychrometry... …the study of air and watervapor in mixture. “It’s this ‘mixture’ idea that leads me to nick- name Psychrometrics, Cocktailmetrics.” says Prof. Koldenhott Prof. Koldenhott's FUNdamentals of Cocktailmetrics
