You would like to calculate some HVAC properties related to moist air. Two types of thermometers are available to you: regular thermometer that is set in the shade at a certain height above the ground, and a psychrometer (or a wetted thermometer). If the measured dry bulb temperature is 23 °C and the wet bulb temperature is measured at 14 °C. Assume you are at an elevation of 1000 m above sea level: a. What is the partial pressure of water vapor in the air? b. What is the relative humidity? c. What is the humidity ratio?
