Psicrometry

class thermochem.psicrometry.MoistAir(gas)

Class that models a moist gas. The computations in this class are a bit tricky because the enthalpy computations for steam far from atmospheric pressure using the bcura data have severe deviations. Considering water an ideal gas is a too strong assumption. This means that water data is computed using the IAPWS data for water an steam.

The trickiest part comes with the fact that the enthalpy reference for the IAPWS tables is the water’s triple point when the enthalpy reference for the bcura tables is the absolute zero.

The IAPWS reference is the leading one.

MoistAir does not inherit from Mixture because of this.

phi(p, T)

Relative moisture given pressure and temperature.

wet_bulb_T(p)

Wet bulb temperature for a given pressure
