A psychrometric chart is a graph of the thermodynamic parameters of moist air at a constant pressure, often equated to an elevation relative to sea level. The ASHRAE-style psychrometric chart, shown here, was pioneered by Willis Carrier in 1904. [10] It depicts these parameters and is thus a graphical equation of state. The parameters are:
English: This psychrometric chart represents the acceptable combination of air temperature and humidity values, according to the PMV/PPD method in the ASHRAE 55-2010 Standard. The comfort zone in blue represents the 90% of acceptability, which means the conditions between -0.5 and +0.5 PMV, or PPD < 10%.
In an isenthalpic process, the enthalpy is constant. [2] A horizontal line in the diagram represents an isenthalpic process. A vertical line in the h–s chart represents an isentropic process. The process 3–4 in a Rankine cycle is isentropic when the steam turbine is said to be an ideal one. So the expansion process in a turbine can be ...
Figure 2: On a standard psychrometric chart, the air flow state points of the Cromer cycle are shown. The psychrometric process of the air passing through the system with four state points is shown on the psychrometric chart of Figure 2 as 1, 2, 3 and 4. The state points of the air are also depicted in Figure 1.
γ = Psychrometric constant (γ ≈ 66 Pa K −1) Note: Often, resistances are used rather than conductivities. = & = = where r c refers to the resistance to flux from a vegetation canopy to the extent of some defined boundary layer.
The psychrometric constant relates the partial pressure of water in air to the air temperature. This lets one interpolate actual vapor pressure from paired dry and wet thermometer bulb temperature readings.

Global distribution of Vapour-pressure deficit averaged over the years 1981-2010 from the CHELSA-BIOCLIM+ data set [1]. Vapour pressure-deficit, or VPD, is the difference (deficit) between the amount of moisture in the air and how much moisture the air can hold when it is saturated.
