2. Psychrometry

3. Psychrometric Chart

4. Properties of Air Dry-bulb temperature Wet-bulb temperature Dew-point temperature Relative humidity Humidity ratio

5. Thermometers Dry Bulb Wet Bulb Measured in degrees Fahrenheit ( o F)

6. Dew Point Condensation occurs at the Dew Point Temperature ( o F)

7. Saturation Fog

8. Relative Humidity Amount of moisture that a given amount of air is holding = Amount of moisture that a given amount of air can hold 50% RH 100% RH - Saturated (percentage)

9. Humidity Ratio at sea level one pound of 70°F air occupies approximately 13.5 cubic feet, and one grain of water in that air weighs about two-thousandths (0.002) of an ounce

12. Enthalpy Enthalpy (h) = Sensible Heat + Latent Heat

13. EXAMPLE Using the Chart Summer Design Conditions 95°F DB (dry bulb) 78°F WB (wet bulb) Find: Relative Humidity Humidity Ratio Dew Point

14. Answer 95°F 78°F 50% 40% 72°F

15. Condensation EXAMPLE Beach Conditions 92 o F 60% RH Beverage 45 o F

16. Condensation (cont.) EXAMPLE Winter: Glass surface temperature = 40 o F Inside Design: 77 o F 30% RH
