Moist air is a mixture of dry air and water vapor, which behaves as an ideal gas mixture under certain conditions.
The psychrometric chart is a vital tool for visualizing air properties and understanding HVAC processes.
Key processes in air conditioning include sensible heating/cooling, humidification/dehumidification, and their paths on the psychrometric chart.
The actual temperature of air, measured using a standard thermometer.
The temperature measured by a wetted thermometer; it is always less than or equal to DBT.
The temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture, leading to condensation.
The measure of the amount of water vapor present in the air relative to the maximum amount of water vapor that the air can hold at that temperature.
The total heat content of moist air, incorporating contributions from both dry air and water vapor.
