    Psychrometry is the study of air and water vapor mixtures. It examines terms like dry air, moist air, saturated air, degree of saturation, absolute humidity, relative humidity, dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, and dew point temperature. A psychrometric chart graphically represents the thermodynamic properties of moist air and can be used to analyze psychrometric processes. Air conditioning systems can be classified based on their purpose, the season, or the arrangement of their equipment.

    Mixtures & Psychrometry

    Psychrometry is the study of thermodynamic properties of air and water vapor mixtures (moist air).

    PSYCHOMETRIC TERMS

    Dry air. The pure dry air is a mixture of a number of gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide,
    hydrogen, argon, neon, helium etc. But the nitrogen and oxygen have the major portion of the
    combination.

    The molecular mass of dry air is taken as 28.97 and the gas constant of air (Ra) is equal 0.287 kJ / kg K or
    287 J/kg K.

    Moist air. It is a mixture of dry air and water vapour. The amount of water vapour present. in the air
    depends upon the absolute pressure and temperature of the mixture.

    Saturated air. It is mixture of dry air and water vapour, when the air has diffused the maximum amount
    of water vapour into it. The water vapours, usually, occur in the form of superheated steam as an invisible
    gas. However, when the saturated air is cooled, the water vapour in the air starts condensing, and the
    same may be visible in the form of moist, fog or condensation on cold surfaces.

    Degree of saturation. It is the ratio of actual mass of water vapour in a unit mass of dry air to the mass of
    water vapour in the same mass of dry air when it is saturated at the same temperature.

    Absolute or specific humidity. It is the mass of water vapour present in 1 kg of dry air, and is generally
    expressed in terms of kg water vapor/kg dry air and is denoted by ω.
    𝑚 𝑃𝑣 𝑃𝑣
    ω = 𝑚 𝑣 The specific humidity can also be expressed as ω = 0.622 𝑃𝑎
    = 0.622 𝑃−𝑃𝑣
    as Pa + PV = P
    𝑎

    Relative humidity. It is the ratio of actual mass of water vapour in a given volume of moist air to the mass
    of water vapour in the same volume of saturated air at the same temperature and pressure. It is briefly
    written as RH φ.
    𝑚 𝑃
    φ = 𝑚𝑣 = 𝑃𝑣
    𝑠 𝑠

    Dry bulb temperature. It is the temperature of air recorded by a thermometer, when it is not affected by
    the moisture present in the air. The dry bulb temperature (briefly written as DBT) is generally denoted by
    td or tdb.

    Wet bulb temperature. It is the temperature of air recorded by a thermometer, when its bulb is
    surrounded by a wet cloth exposed to the air. Such a thermometer is called *wet bulb thermometer. The
    wet bulb temperature (briefly written as WBT) is generally denoted by tw or twb.

    The dew-point temperature Tdp is defined as the temperature at which condensation begins when the
    unsaturated moist air is cooled at constant pressure. In other words, Tdp is the saturation temperature of
    water corresponding to the vapor pressure: Tdp = Tsat@P
    Degree of saturation μ: The degree of saturation is the ratio of the humidity ratio ω to the humidity ratio
    of a saturated mixture ωs at the same temperature and pressure, i.e.,
    ω
    μ=𝜔
    𝑠

    Note. When air is saturated DBT, WBT, DPT are equal.

    Psychrometric chart

    A Psychrometric chart graphically represents the thermodynamic properties of moist air.

    PSYCHROMETRIC PROCESSES
    Bypass factor is the percentage of air that travels through a tube and fin coil without touching any coil
    surface i.e inefficiency of the heating coil or cooling coil in not being able to heat or cool the incoming air
    to the temperature of the heating coil or cooling coil.

    Classification of Air Conditioning Systems


    The air conditioning system may be broadly classi¡ed as follows:
    1 . According to the purpose
    1 . Comfort air conditioning system.
    2 . Industrial air conditioning system.
    2 . According to a season of the year
    1 . Winter air conditioning system.
    2 . summer air conditioning system.
    3 . Year-round air conditioning system.
    3 . According to the arrangement of equipment
    1 . The unitary air conditioning system=> Window Unit & Split air conditioning system.
    2 . Central air conditioning system.
