NAME

Physics::Psychrometry - Perl extension for calculating Psychrometric measures for moist air

SYNOPSIS

  use Physics::Psychrometry;
  my $db = 24.6; # C
  my $rh = 0.68; # RH 0.0 to 1.0
  my $p = 102;   # kPa

  my $e = Physics::Psychrometry::dbrh2e($db, $rh);
  my $dp = Physics::Psychrometry::e2dp($e);
  my $wb = Physics::Psychrometry::dbdp2wb($db, $dp, $p);
  my $w = Physics::Psychrometry::e2w($e, $p);
  my $h = Physics::Psychrometry::dbw2h($db, $w);
  my $es = Physics::Psychrometry::t2es($db);
  my $v = Physics::Psychrometry::dbw2v($db, $w, $p);
  my $ws = Physics::Psychrometry::es2ws($es, $p);
  my $ds = Physics::Psychrometry::rhws2ds($rh, $ws);
  my $da = Physics::Psychrometry::wv2da($w, $v);
  my $q = Physics::Psychrometry::w2q($w);
  my $x = Physics::Psychrometry::wv2X($w, $v);

DESCRIPTION

Calculates a variety of Psychrometric values for moist air Blah blah blah.

METHODS

dbrh2e

Convert dry bulb (C) and Relative Humidity (0.0 to 1.0) to vapor pressure (kPa)

    my $e = Physics::Psychrometry::dbrh2e($db, $rh);

e2dp

Convert vapor pressure (kPa) to Dewpoint (C)

    my $dp = Physics::Psychrometry::e2dp($e);

dbdp2wb

Convert dry bulb (C), Dewpoint (C) and airpressure (kPa) to wet bulb (C)

    my $wb = Physics::Psychrometry::dbdp2wb($db, $dp, $p);

e2w

Convert vapor pressure (kPa) and airpressure (kPa) to humidity ratio

    my $w = Physics::Psychrometry::e2w($e, $p);

dbw2h

Convert dry bulb (C) and humidity ratio to enthalpy (kJ/kg)

    my $h = Physics::Psychrometry::dbw2h($db, $w);

t2es

Convert dry bulb (C) to saturated vapor pressure (kPa)

    my $es = Physics::Psychrometry::t2es($db);

dbw2v

Convert dry bulb (C) and humidity ratio to specific air volume (m3/kg)

    my $v = Physics::Psychrometry::dbw2v($db, $w, $p);

es2ws

Convert saturated vapor pressure (kPa) to saturated humidity ratio

    my $ws = Physics::Psychrometry::es2ws($es, $p);

rhws2ds

Convert Relative Humidity (0.0 to 1.0) and saturated humidity ratio to degree of saturation (0.0 to 1.0)

    my $ds = Physics::Psychrometry::rhws2ds($rh, $ws);

wv2da

Convert humidity ratio and specific air volume (m3/kg) to density of moist air (kg/m^3)

    my $da = Physics::Psychrometry::wv2da($w, $v);

w2q

Convert humidity ratio to specific humidity (ratio)

    my $q = Physics::Psychrometry::w2q($w);

wv2X

Convert humidity ratio and specific air volume (m3/kg) to absolute humidity (kg/m3)

    my $x = Physics::Psychrometry::wv2X($w, $v);
