Derive the humidity ratio given drybulb and wetbulb temperature

h db=hwb −h fwb (W wb−W db) 1

Drybulb

h db=c p t db +W db h gdb 2

From steam table (specific enthalpy of vapor at that drybulb temp)

Leave this as a variable since we don’t know the partial pressure of vapor at that dry bulb temp

Dry bulb temp (in deg celcius)

1.0062 kj/kg-K

Wetbulb

h wb=c p t wb +W wb h gwb

From steam table (specific enthalpy of vapor at that wetbulb temp)

0.622∗p sat
W wb= , the saturated pressure of the wetbulb temp is considered as its partial vapor pressure, so you can get the value of W wb
pt – p sat

Wet bulb temp (in deg celcius)

1.0062 kj/kg-K
Since we have a value for W wb , we can get the value of h wb

Substitute h db from equation 2 to equation 1

c p t db +W db h gdb =hwb −h fwb (W wb−W db)

Then you’ll get the value of Humidity Ratio of the drybulb ( W db ¿
