Psychrometric Chart (or Humidity Chart)
• A psychrometric chart is a graphical representation of thethermodynamic properties of air-water system.
• There are a number of different charts. They differ withrespect to the barometric pressure, range of temperature, andthe choice of coordinates.
• The most popular charts have absolute humidity plotted againstdry-bulb temperature.
• Most published charts are for standard barometric pressure (1atm).

Description of the psychrometric chart
• The horizontal axis forms the dry-bulb temperature scale and vertical
lines are lines of constant dry-bulb temperature.• The dry-bulb temperature is the air temperature as measured by a
thermometer, thermocouple or other conventional temperature-measuringdevice
Dry Bulb Temperature (oC or oF)
constant dry-bulbTemperature (T db)

• The vertical axis is the absolute humidity(or humidity ratio, moisture content)scale and horizontal lines are lines ofconstant humidity.

• A different set of diagonal lines represent lines of constant specificvolume.
Balances on Nonreactive Processes© JKG- FKKKSA Page 8 - 12
• Lines of constant enthalpy at saturation are closely aligned to the lines ofconstant wet-bulb many charts use a single set of lines to represent constantwet-bulb temperature and constant enthalpy . An enthalpy scale is typicallyplaced above the saturation line.
• Reference states for Enthalpy :- liquid water at 1 atm & 0oC, dry air at 1 atm &0oC

What happens during heating and cooling atconstant pressure?
a. There is no change in the absolute humidity of the air-vapormixture, as long as no condensation occurs.
b. Cooling occurs from right to left… if superheated humid is cooledthe system follows a horizontal path to the left until thesaturation curve (dew pt temp & 100% RH); thereafter the gasphase follows the saturation curve
c. Heating occurs from left to right.
d. There is a change in the sensible heat of
the air-vapor mixture.
e. Heat must be added or subtracted
to cause the temperature change.

Adiabatic Cooling
• Adiabatic cooling is said to have taken place when a warm gas isbrought into contact with a cold liquid, causing the gas to cool andsome of the liquid to evaporate and with an assumption that no heatis lost to its surrounding during the gas-to-liquid heat transferprocess.
• Examples of common adiabatic cooling process
• Spray cooling , spray humidification• Spray dehumidification• Drying• Spray drying

Adiabatic Cooling Process
• Air undergoing adiabatic cooling through contact with liquid watermoves along a constant wet-bulb temperature line on thepsychrometric chart from its initial condition towards the 100%relative humidity curve

Adiabatic Saturation Temperature (T as)
Assuming;
1. (Cp)air, (Cp)H2O, and (∆Hvap)H2O, are independent of temperature at theprevailing process conditions.
2. The enthalpy changes undergone by the unevaporated liquid water and thesolid (if there is one) in going fromT
2 to T
4 are negligible compared to the
changes undergone by the entering wet air and the evaporated water.
3. The heat required to raise liquid water from T 2 to T 3 is negligible comparedto the heat of vaporization of water.
Balances on Nonreactive Processes© JKG- FKKKSA Page 8 - 34
and the process is adiabatic (Q=0), then the simplified energyequation becomes;
If the outlet temperature T 3 is low enough, the air leaves
saturated with water (i.e. RH = 100%) then the temperaturecorresponding to this condition is called the adiabaticsaturation temperature (T as) & happens to coincide with the wetbulb temperature (i.e. T as = T wb)

What is evaporative cooling?
Through evaporation, moisture in theair accumulates and the airtemperature decreases.
Sensible heat from the air vaporizeswater from its liquid to gaseous phase.
There is no loss or gain of heat withinthe system because the amount ofsensible heat removed equals latentheat added to the water.
The process follows a constantenthalpy line and hence the processis also known as adiabatic cooling
The maximum temperature reductionis the difference between startingdry bulb temperature and its wet bulbtemperature.
Lowering of dry bulb temp
Addition ofmoisture
Evaporative cooling lowers the dry bulbtemperature. It is used where a lower
temperature is desired.
