Within the estimated precision of the data of Table 2, at temperatures below 150 F, the volume v, enthalpy h, and entropy s, of moist air per pound of dry air at any de gree of saturation y may be computed from the simple relations: V = Va + ptu* h ~ ha fihaa 8 = a+ (27) (28) (29) Thus, the degree of saturation is used in conjunction with Table 2 in the same manner as the quality is used with tables of the thermodynamic properties.of steam. Correction of Table 2 for Temperatures Above 150 F The simple relations expressed in Equations 27, 28, and 29. give 'the properties of unsaturated air with satisfactory precision for most engineer ing design problems. Above 150 F, when greater precision than obtained by Table 2 is required, these simple relations can be adjusted by the addi tion of supplementary terms. To correct the volume, it is necessary to add a correction term ti which is defined as n(l -- y)k 1 + aWyi (30) where a denotes the ratio of the apparent molecular weight of dry air (28.966) to the molecular weight of water (18.016) and is equal to 1.6078. Table 5 gives the values of the coefficient A for several higher temperatures, the value of y at which the correction term v attains its maximum value, and the maximum value of 5 term-there attained. The correction term for the enthalpy is _ n(l -- y)B 1 + aWyi (31) Table 5. Coefficients A, B, C Appeasing in Equations 30, 31, 32, Maximum Values of Cobrections Defined by Equations 30, 31, 32.

Psychrometric Chart THE ASHAE PSYCHROMETRIC CHART A psychrometric chart is a graphical representation of the thermo dynamic properties of moist-air. ..To be of real value in the solution, of engineering problems, it must have distinctive features which, aid-,in problem analysis. An examination of -psychrometric mass and energy balances shows that no properties other than enthalpy and humidity ratio are required for the solution of problems. It is logical, then, to use these properties as the coordinates of a psychrometric chart. This was initially done by Molfier in 1923,8 and is the arrangement followed in the chart included with The Guide. The A.S.H.A.E. Psychrometric Chart is based on the best thermodynamic data available today, namely, those of Goff and Gratch, as given in Table 2. The chart is plotted oh oblique coordinates of enthalpy and humidity ratio; the enthalpy axis making an angle of approximately 40 deg with the humidity ratio axis. This is shown in Fig. 3. For practical use, the inclusion of dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures, volumes, and indices of the condition of the air in relation to saturation, is necessary for locating and describing states on the chart.
