Introduction

� Air in the atmosphere normally contains some water

vapor (or moisture) and is referred to as atmospheric

air.

� By contrast, air that contains no water vapor is called

dry air.

dry air.

� It is often convenient to treat air as a mixture of water

vapor and dry air since the composition of dry air

remains relatively constant.

� The amount of water vapor changes as a result of

condensation and evaporation from oceans, lakes,

rivers, showers, and even the human body.

Saturation Temperature and Saturation Pressure

Mon 2:04:28 PM

At a given pressure, the temperature atwhich a pure substance changes phase iscalled the saturation temperature Tsat.

At a given temperature, the pressure atwhich a pure substance changes phase iscalled the saturation pressure Psat.

Psychrometric Mixtures

Mon 2:20:10 PM

Psychrometrics or Psychrometry are terms used to describe the field of engineering concerned with the determination of physical and

thermodynamic properties of gas-vapor mixtures.

� Consider atmospheric air at 1.013 bar and 15 °C. The saturationpressure of water vapor corresponding to 15 °C is 0.01704 bar.

Chapter 2:

Psychrometry and Air-Conditioning

Dr. Eng. Sameh Shaaban

31 October 2009

pressure of water vapor corresponding to 15 °C is 0.01704 bar.

� Unless the water vapor is in contact with its liquid it will not besaturated, and its pressure will be below the saturation value of0.01704 bar.

� In normal applications the atmosphere is well removed from thesaturated condition. At such low vapor pressures the vapor canbe considered to act as a perfect gas, and the properties of themixture can be found using the Gibbs-Dalton law.

The saturation temperaturecorresponding to 0.01 bar is 7°C,

hence the vapor in atmospheric air

under these conditions has a degree

of superheat of ( 15 - 7) = 8 K.(point 1)

Mon 2:20:10 PM

The dew-point temperature Tdp is defined as the temperature at which

condensation begins when the air is cooled at constant pressure. In otherwords, Tdp is the saturation temperature of water corresponding to the

vapor pressure.

Specific humidity, relative humidity, and percentage saturation

Mon 2:20:10 PM

The relative humidity of the atmosphere is the ratio of theactual mass of the water vapour in a given volume to thatwhich it would have if it were saturated at the sametemperature (maximum amount of moisture the air can hold atthe same temperature)

Measurement of relative humidity

Mon 2:20:10 PM

An instrument used to measure relative humidityis called a psychrometer, or a hygrometer

sling psychrometer

Chapter 2:

Dr. Eng. Sameh Shaaban

� Some of the water evaporates and this produces a cooling

effect at the bulb.

� the wet bulb indicates a lower temperature than the drybulb.

� If the relative humidity is low, then the rate of evaporation

� at the wick is high, and hence the wet bulb depression is

high.
