PsychometricsPsychometricsDry-bulb Temperature: The temperature of air as registered by an ordinary thermometer.Wet-bulb Temperature: The temperature registered by a thermometer whose bulb is covered by a welted wick andexposed to a current of rapidly moving air.Dew point Temperature: The temperature at which condensation of moisture begins when the air is cooled.Relative Humidity: Ratio of the actual water vapor pressure of the air to the saturated water vapor pressure of the air atthe same temperature.
Enthalpy Deviation: Enthalpy indicated above, for anyf
Moisture Content: The weight of water vapor in grains or pounds of moisture per pound of dry air.Enthalpy: A thermal property indicating the quantity of heat in the air above an arbitrary datum, in Btu per pound of dryair. The datum for dry air is 0°F and, for the moisture content, 32 F water.
given condition, is the enthalpy of saturation. It shouldbe corrected by the enthalpy deviation due to the airnot being in the saturated state. Enthalpy deviation is inBtu per pound of dry air. Enthalpy deviation is appliedwhere extreme accuracy is required; however onwhere extreme accuracy is required; however, onnormal air conditioning estimates it is omitted.Specific Volume: The cubic feet of the mixture perpound of dry air.Sensible Heat Factor: The ratio of sensible to totalSensible Heat Factor: The ratio of sensible to totalheat.Alignment Circle: Located at 80 F db and 50% RH andused in conjunction with the sensible heat factor to plotthe various air conditioning process linesthe various air conditioning process lines.
