Fundamental Parameters I
•Pressure
•Temperature (Dry Bulb Temperature), Tdb
•Humidity Ratio, W
mw
W ( Kg / Kg drryair )
ma
•Relative Humidity RH
pw
RH 100%
ps
pw = partial pressure of the water vapor in the air
ps = partial pressure of the water vapor in a saturated mixture under the same
temperature
EXAMPLE:
Dry air: RH=0% Saturated air: RH=100%

Difference between W and RH: W : water content RH: saturation degree

Fundamental Parameters II
•Dewpoint Temperature, Tdp
Temperature that “air saturation” occurs

surfaces will occur) cloth wick

QUESTION:
• In a room:
(condition A)
Tdp=12 C
• The windows have
temperature of T=
9C
• Water
Condensation on
the window?
EXAMPLES:
•Sensible Heat (change TDB, constant W)
•Latent Heat (constant TDB, change W)
