psychrolib (version 2.5.2)

CalcPsychrometricsFromTDewPoint: Calculate psychrometric values from dew-point temperature.

Description

Utility function to calculate humidity ratio, wet-bulb temperature, relative humidity, vapour pressure, moist air enthalpy, moist air volume, and degree of saturation of air given dry-bulb temperature, dew-point temperature, and pressure.

Usage

CalcPsychrometricsFromTDewPoint(TDryBulb, TDewPoint, Pressure)

Arguments

TDryBulb

A numeric vector of dry-bulb temperature in degreeF [IP] or degreeC [SI]

TDewPoint

A numeric vector of dew-point temperature in degreeF [IP] or degreeC [SI]

Pressure

A numeric vector of atmospheric pressure in Psi [IP] or Pa [SI]

Value

A list with named components for each psychrometric value computed:

HumRatio

Humidity ratio in lb_H2O lb_Air-1 [IP] or kg_H2O kg_Air-1 [SI]

TWetBulb

Wet-bulb temperature in degreeF [IP] or degreeC [SI]

RelHum

Relative humidity in range [0, 1]

VapPres

Partial pressure of water vapor in moist air in Psi [IP] or Pa [SI]

MoistAirEnthalpy

Moist air enthalpy in Btu lb-1 [IP] or J kg-1 [SI]

MoistAirVolume

Specific volume of moist air in ft3 lb-1 [IP] or in m3 kg-1 [SI]

DegreeOfSaturation

Degree of saturation [unitless]
