    The psychrometric chart is used to determine various properties of air including dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, relative humidity, humidity ratio, and dew point temperature. Key features of the chart include lines of constant temperature, humidity ratio, and relative humidity that allow users to plot air conditions and determine other properties. The document provides examples of how to use the chart to analyze ambient air conditions and changes in properties, such as humidity, when air is heated for drying processes.
