Description
Summary:The adoption of an ideal mixture model greatly simplifies the calculation of the thermodynamic properties of moist air. The real mixture model provides more accuracy; however, it is necessary to introduce moist air enhancement and compressibility factors, which can both prove to be difficult to evaluate. This paper presents a number of approximate relationships for these parameters that are valid for an extended thermodynamic range (from 0.1 MPa to 5.0 MPa and from {minus}100 C to 200 C).
