' Standard Atmosphere
THE working substance of the air conditioning engineer may be regarded, for the purpose of analysis, as a mixture of only two constituents, dry air and water. . The mixture may consist of two, and possibly three distinct phases, solid, liquid and vapor. The vapor phase is conveniently referred to as moist air and is regarded as a mixture of dry air and water vapor.
DRY AIR
Composition. . Dry air is itself a mixture of several gases, but' its composition is subject to such slight variation that it may be regarded as fixed. According to International Critical Tables, the mol-fraction composition of dry air is given by the first column of figures in Table 1. Molecular weights are given in the second column; the last figure in the third column is the apparent molecular weight of the mixture; the fourth ` column of figures gives the ordinary weight-fraction composition.
It is well known that dry air contains other gases besides those listed in Table-1-; but these are present in such minute amounts .that they can be grouped together as argon. Values in the lower section of Table 1 give the approximate mol-fraction composition of what is called argon in the upper portion of the table.
In physical and chemical thermodynamics, there is a distinct advan tage in using a different unit of weight, the mol, for each different sub stance involved. A mol of oxygen weighs 32.000' lb-as a matter of defi nition ; a mol of any other substance is a weight, in pounds, equal to its molecular weight.
Specific Volume and Density
The ratio of total volume to total weight is called specific volume, v. In the English system, volume is expressed in cubic feet and weight in pounds; hence, specific volume is expressed in cubic feet per pound. The reciprocal of specific volume, that is, weight per unit volume is called weight, density, d. The unit of density is the pound per cubic foot-.
