INTRODUCTION
A psychrometric chart presents physical and thermal properties of moist air in
a graphical form. It can be very helpful in troubleshooting and finding solutions to
greenhouse or livestock building environmental problems. Understanding
psychrometric charts can help you visualize environmental control concepts, such as
why heated air can hold more moisture or, conversely, how allowing moist air to cool
will result in condensation. This fact sheet explains how characteristics of moist air
are used in a psychrometric chart. Three examples are used to illustrate typical chart
use and interpretation. Properties of moist air are explained in the Definitions
Sidebar for your reference during the following discussions.

3. Psychrometric chart
Introduction for task :
SPECIFIC HUMIDITY
Specific humidity, mass of water vapour in a unit mass of moist air, usually
expressed as grams of vapour per kilogram of air, or, in air conditioning, as
grains per pound. The specific humidity is an extremely useful quantity
in meteorology.
ENTALPHY
Enthalpy, the sum of the internal energy and the product of the pressure and
volume of a thermodynamic system. Enthalpy is an energy-like property or
state function—it has the dimensions of energy (and is thus measured in units
of joules or ergs), and its value is determined entirely by
the temperature, pressure, and composition of the system.
WET-BULB TEMPERATURE
Wet-bulb temperature (WBT) is the temperature read by a thermometer
covered in water-soaked cloth (wet-bulb thermometer) over which air is
passed.[1] At 100% relative humidity, the wet-bulb temperature is equal to the
air temperature (dry-bulb temperature); at lower humidity the wet-bulb
temperature is lower than dry-bulb temperature because of evaporative
cooling.
DEW-POINT TEMPERATURE
Dew-point is the temperature to which air must be cooled to become
saturated with water vapor. When cooled further, the airborne water vapor will
condense to form liquid water. When air cools to its dew point through contact
with a surface that is colder than the air, water will condense on the surface
SPECIFIC VOLUME
Specific volume is defined as the number of cubic meters occupied by one
kilogram of matter. It is the ratio of a material's volume to its mass, which is
the same as the reciprocal of its density. In other words, specific volume is
inversely proportional to density. Specific volume may be calculated or
measured for any state of matter, but it is most often used in calculations
involving gases.

b) The enthalpy.
h = 30 kJ/kg dry air
c) The wet bulb temperature.

d) The dew poin temperature.
T dp = 5.6 Cº
e) The specific volume of the air.
V = 0.823 m³/kg dry air
CONCLUSION
In a conclusion, a psychrometric chart packs a lot of information into an odd-
shaped graph. If we consider the components piece by piece, the usefulness of the
chart will be clearer. Boundaries of the psychrometric chart are a dry-bulb
temperature scale on the horizontal axis, a humidity ratio (moisture content) scale on
the vertical axis, and an upper curved boundary which represents saturated air or
100-percent moisture holding capacity.
The chart shows other important moist air properties. Wet-bulb temperature;
enthalpy; dewpoint or saturation temperature; relative humidity; and specific volume.
See the Definitions Sidebar for an explanation of these terms. Moist air can be
described by finding the intersection of any two of these properties. This is called a
"state point."
