    Psychrometry is the study of moist air and its properties. It deals with the physical laws of air and water vapor mixtures. Key properties studied in psychrometry include dew point temperature, relative humidity, dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, humidity ratio, and specific and absolute humidity. Understanding these properties allows for the design of effective air conditioning systems by determining the temperature and moisture levels of inlet and outlet air.

    Module-III Psychometrics
    WHAT IS PSYCHROMETRY?
    • It is the science dealing with physical laws of air-water vapor.
    • When designing an air conditioning system, the temperature
    and moisture content of the air to be conditioned, and the same
    properties of air needed to produce the desired air conditioning
    effect.
    • In other words we can say that psychrometry is the study of
    moist air or mixture of dry air and water vapor.
    Properties of psychrometry:
    • Dew point temperature
    • Relative humidity
    • Dry bulb temperature
    • Wet bulb temperature
    • Humidity ratio
    • Psychrometric ratio
    • Humidity
    i. Specific humidity
    ii. Absolute humidity
    Dew point temperature:
    – The temperature at which moisture starts to condense out of the air is dew point.
    – Dew point is also known as saturation temperature.
    – Dew point is determined by moving a state point horizontally to the left along lines of constant
    humidity ratio until the upper, curved saturation temperature boundary is obtained.
    – Condensation occurs at dew point temperature.

    Relative humidity:
    amount of moisture that a given amount of air is holding
    Relative humidity = --------------------------------------------------
    amount of moisture that a given amount of air can hold
    Dry bulb temperature:
    • The dry bulb temperature is the temperature indicated by a thermometer exposed to the
    air in a place sheltered from direct solar radiation.
    • The term dry bulb temperature is customarily added to temperature to distinguish it
    from wet bulb and dew point temperature.

    Wet bulb temperature:


    • wet bulb temperature is the temperature recorded by thermometer
    when the bulb is enveloped by cotton wick saturated with water.
    • The accuracy of wet bulb thermometer depends on how fast air
    passes over the bulb and how well the thermometer is shielded
    from the radiant temperature of its surroundings.
    Humidity ratio:
    • It is actual weight of water in an air-water vapor mixture.
    • It is also defined as amount of moisture per unit of dry air.
    • Formula- W=m/G
    Psychrometric ratio:
    • The psychrometric ratio is the ratio of the heat transfer coefficient to the product
    of mass transfer coefficient and humid heat at a wetted surface.
    Humidity:
    specific humidity: specific humidity is defined as the proportion of the mass of
    water vapor per unit mass of moist air sample (dry air plus the water vapor); it is
    closely related to humidity ratio and always lower in value.
    Absolute humidity: the mass of water vapor per unit volume of air containing
    the water vapor. This quantity is known as the water vapor density.
    Psychrometric processes
    Sensible heating:
    It is addition of heat to moist air without addition of moisture. It
    follows a constant humidity ratio line on the psychrometric chart.

    Sensible cooling:
    It is the removal of heat from moist air without the removal of
    moisture. It also follows a constant w on the psychrometric chart.

    Cooling and dehumidification:


    it is the removal of heat and moisture from moist air, it involves
    sensible and latent heat transfer.
    Heating and humidifying:
    It is the addition of heat and moisture to moist air, it also involves sensible
    and latent heat transfer.

    Humidifying:
    it is the addition of moisture to moist air without addition of heat.

    Adiabatic cooling:
    It involves cooling without heat loss or gain.

    Adiabatic mixing:
    It involves no net heat loss of gain during mixing of two air streams.
