What this calculator does

Moist air is fully defined by a temperature, a pressure and one moisture property. From there every other property follows. This tool turns dry-bulb temperature plus RH (or dew point, or wet bulb) into the full psychrometric state — the numbers you need for cooling-tower, dryer, HVAC and dehumidification work.

The method

Saturation and vapour pressure

The saturation pressure p_ws(T) comes from the ASHRAE / Hyland-Wexler correlation. The actual vapour partial pressure is p_w = RH · p_ws.

Humidity ratio

W = 0.62198 · p_w / (P − p_w)  (kg water per kg dry air)

Dew point and enthalpy

The dew point is the temperature where p_ws(T_dp) = p_w. The specific enthalpy of the mixture is h = 1.006·T + W·(2501 + 1.86·T) kJ/kg dry air.

One state, many uses: the same psychrometric point drives cooling-tower range/approach, air-dryer duty, and condensation checks on ducting and cold surfaces.

Worked example

InputValue
Dry-bulb temperature30 °C
Relative humidity60 %
Total pressure101.325 kPa

Result: p_ws(30 °C) ≈ 4.246 kPa → p_w ≈ 2.548 kPa; humidity ratio W ≈ 0.0160 kg/kg, dew point ≈ 21.4 °C, enthalpy ≈ 71 kJ/kg. Try it with your own numbers →

FAQ

How do you find humidity ratio from RH?

W = 0.62198·p_w/(P−p_w) with p_w = RH·p_ws(T).

Wet-bulb vs dew-point?

Dew point depends only on moisture; wet bulb also reflects evaporative cooling and lies between dry-bulb and dew point.
