 Psychometric charts: Humidity charts
➢ Psychrometric charts shows relation of :
1. Dry bulb temperature
2. Wet bulb temperature
3. Relative humidity
4. Humidity
5. Dew point
6. Enthalpy
7. Specific volume

➢ If any two quantities are known rest can be know using the charts
2
 Temperature-Humidity chart

➢ Temperature-Humidity chart
1. Humidity, %H, Temperature
2. Specific volume, Saturated volume, Humid volume
3. Adiabatic cooling lines/Adiabatic saturation temperature
4. Humid heat, Humidity

 Enthalpy-Humidity chart

➢ Enthalpy-Humidity chart
1. Enthalpy is measured with respect to standard reference state
2. Reference temperature is melting point of material constituting
vapor, and liquid state is the standard state
3. Relates Enthalpy, Humidity, % Humidity and Temperature
4. Super saturation or excess present as liquid /solid
5. Unsaturated case: θ = θo, θ > θo, and θ < θo
6. Supersaturated case:
1. For vapor/liquid: θ = θo, θ > θo
2. For solid: θ = θo, θ < θo
