Used Formulations
The psychrometrics application uses the most accurate formulations of thermodynamic properties of moist air.
Formulations are based on the study performed by Hyland and Wexler, and approved by ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers) as documented in the 1997 ASHRAE Handbook "Fundamentals". They presented the equation of state in:
- Formulations for the thermodynamic properties of the saturated phases of H2O from 173.15 K to 473.15 K, W. Hyland and A.Wexler, ASHRAE Transactions, 89(2A) 500-519, 1983.
- Formulations for the thermodynamic properties of dry air from 173.15 K to 473.15 K, and of saturated moist air from 173.15 K to 372.15 K, at pressures to 5 MPa, R. W. Hyland and A. Wexler, ASHRAE Transactions, 89(2A) 520-535, 1983.
Humid Air Application Functionality
The HumidAir is a standard win32 application. It is very ease to use, after selection of units (SI or English are supported) and completed calculation for entered parameters, results are displayed in the output table.
Obtained results can be saved to a file, printed, or copy and pasted (cell, row column or whole table) to Excel or any other application.
User privileges
Installation of the application requires standard privileges.

Range of Validity
The entire set of equations used by the Humid Air application, is defined by the following temperature and pressure range:
- 173.15 K <= T < = 473.15 K
- 0.000001 MPa <= P < = 5 MPa
Moist Air Properties Limits
The upper limit of the absolute pressure is set at 5 MPa, and the temperature is restricted to the range -100 to 200°C. However, for any given absolute pressure, the highest temperature cannot exceed that temperature at which the saturation vapor pressure equals the absolute pressure.
In other words, moist air properties are valid for any dry-bulb temperatures below or equal to the saturation temperature of water at the same given absolute pressure, above that limit saturated moist air cannot exist.
Reference Point
IMPORTANT:
In the used formulations for calculation of thermodynamic properties of moist air, the reference state (zero enthalpy) is set at 0 °C. On some psychrometric charts (especially in the US) the reference state (zero enthalpy) is set at 0 °F.
As a consequence, enthalpy and entropy values calculated by the library will be shifted on these charts for the difference between the reference points.
Since for any process calculation only enthalpy difference (in and out of a process) is important, the reference point doesn't really matter.
If you want to reproduce enthalpy values from such charts, you should find the enthalpy difference for one point (doesn't matter which one), and then add that value for all calculated enthalpies. The same applies for entropy values.
