Tables 3 and 4 show properties of wati>r for temperatures
above 212 F. These tables were abstracted from the steam' tables of Keenan and Keyes.4
DEGREE OF SATURATION AND ITS USE / IN CALCULATIONS
At given values of temperature and pressure, the humidity, ratio W of moist air may have any value between aero (dry. air) and W, (moist'air at saturation)! For convenience, a pa-
rameter p called degree of saturation is introduced through'the use of Equation 1.
. W - pW,

To a degree of approximation within the estimated:uncer tainty of data in Table 1, at temperatures below about 150 F,:
the volume t> of moist air per pound of dry air may be com puted by Equation 2.

THERMODYNAMIC WET-BULB TEMPERATURE /
For any state of moist air, there exists a temperature.f* at which liquid (or solid) water may be evaporatedinto tiie air to bring it to saturation>at exactly this same temperature, fig. 8 may be used as a schematic representation of the adiabatic saturation -process where the leaving air is satu rated and is at a'temperature equal to that of the injected water. In`the process, 'the humidity ratio is increased from a' given initial value IFtothe value Wt* corresponding to satii-
ration at the temperature t*; the entiiaipy is increased from a
given initial value A to the value A,* corresponding to satura
tion at the temperature <*; the weight of water added per
v pound of dry air is (TP,* -- W) which adds energy to the moist
air of amount:(TP,* - W)hJ, where A* denotes the specific
enthalpy of the water added at the temperature f*. Therefore,
if the process is strictly adiabatic, conservation of energy
requires that:
>
_ ...
* + (IF,* - W)K* - A,*(9)
The properties TP,*, hj*, and A,* are functions only of the
temperature t* for a fixed value of pressure. The value of t*
which satisfies Equation 9 for given values of A and TP is
called thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature.
The psychrometer is a device consisting'of two thermome-'
tera, one of which has its'bulb covered with'a suitable Wick
that has been thoroughly wetted with water'/ When the weti1
bulb is placed in an air stream; water may evaporate from the'
wick. The equilibrium temperature eventually reached by the
water is called the wet-bulb temperature.' This process is hot
the same as one of adiabatic saturation which /defines' the
thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature; but rather is; one of
simultaneous heat and mass transfer from the we+bulb/The'
fundamental mechanism of this'process ^`described in'Ghap?
ter 5, Mass Transfer. Fortunately, and indeed fortuitously,
the corrections to be applied to readings of a WetJwilb ther
mometer to obtain the thermodynamic wet-bulb,temperature'
are usually quite small.- Arnold* has presented a . procedure
which allows calculation of these corrections.'-

PERFECT GAS RELATIONS
*
Tables 1 and 5,.with Equations 1 to 9, allow accurate cal-;
culations of moist air properties where sea-level pressure may
be assumed.; The equations of Goff and Gratch may be used
to. calculate tables similar to Table l.for any .pressure, but;
as yet such tables are not available.- Fortunately, only slight'
errors occur when Dalton's Rule and perfect-gas-,relations
are applied where normal barometric pressures

According to Dalton's Rule, if.dry air and-.water vapor are.
mixed, each occupies the whole volume of tiie nrnt*jnr>r at the1
temperature.of the mixture, and-the pressure of the:mixture
is the sum of the individual pressures. Assuming;that both
dry air and water vapor behave like perfect gases, the volume
