    Psychrometry: Ir. Dr. Sam C. M. Hui

    Uploaded by

    Jerry Chan
    This document provides an overview of psychrometry, which is the measurement of properties of moist air, including discussing the psychrometric chart, equations, and software. It describes key moist air parameters that can be found on the chart like temperature, humidity, enthalpy and volume. Examples of common psychrometric charts and software are also presented.

    • Psychrometry (測濕學)
    • The measurement or study of the thermodynamic
    properties of moist air
    • The Greek term psuchron (ψυχρόν) meaning "cold" and
    metron (μέτρον) meaning "means of measurement"
    • Moist air properties: (water vapour + dry air)
    • Dalton’s law of partial pressures (Total = PA + PB)
    • Standard atmospheric pressure = 101.325 kPa
    • Saturated vapour pressure: Max. pressure of water
    vapour that can occur at any given temperature

    • The program allows the user to plot typical
    psychrometric processes and perform the
    corresponding energy calculations
    • The program produces near-exact replications of the
    charts and can output a listing of points and processes
    in a tabular report with calculated properties and energy
    values for each. It includes a presentation of the
    ASHRAE climate data presented in the 2009 ASHRAE
